Jacksonville ReviewPage 3 May 2013

Itrsquos hard to imagine that pioneer-vintner Peter Britt dreamed

Jacksonville would be considered the ldquoheart of Southern Oregon wine countryrdquo 150 after he planted the first grapes here In the early 1850rsquos Britt did just that and test-planted five acres around his hillside home to 200 grape varietals some sold as table grapes others to produce wine Forty

years later more than 100 acres in Jacksonville had been planted by more than a dozen growers Had it not been for Prohibition destroying the wine industry in 1916 its likely the region would have become world-famous for its wines rather than its pears

Today modern-day Jacksonville rests in the middle of 150 vineyards and tasting rooms that stretch from Roxy Ann peak in the East Medford hills to the Applegate Valley Wine Trail to the west There are dozens more dotting hillsides and slopes from Gold Hill to Ashland with more to come

To help celebrate what Britt started a host of wine-related headliner events await including the Applegate UnCorked Barrel Tour on May 19 and Roam the Rogue on May 25 This month kicks-off high-season for our wine industry now an economic driver for Southern Oregon that is changing the local landscape both socially

and economically On that note please read about a new winery consortium on page 7mdashJOWAmdashthe Jacksonville Oregon Wineries Association formed to promote six in-town tasting rooms

Speaking of tasting roomshellipthe Review has moved its office to 220 E California Streetmdashthe former home of the Umpqua Tasting Room next door to the McCully House Shortly after the owners of the UTR purchased the Gelateria building up the street and relocated the tasting room we moved in and got to work bringing you all the news and happenings in Our Small Town with Big Atmoshere

Spring Barrel of Fun for Applegate Winery Fans

On Sunday May 19 join the Applegate Valley vintners for their Spring UnCorked Barrel Tour This is another not-to-be-missed day of

fun for wine and food lovers featuring wine and food pairings at 17 Applegate Valley wineries Tickets are only $39 and include a commemorative wine glass tastings and food Several wineries will also feature live music and demonstrations related to winemaking As always DDrsquos (Designated Drivers) attend for free and may partake in all food offerings as well as complimentary soft drinks and water along the way

The growing list of wineries west of Jacksonville known collectively as AVOVAmdashApplegate Valley Oregon Vintners Associationmdashholds fall and spring barrel tours offering a fun and relaxed chance to taste wines directly from the barrel before they are bottled and purchased by the public The wines are carefully chosen by each winery as are each of the delectable homemade foods paired with the wines The self-guided and self-paced tour kicks-off at 1100am and runs until 500pm

This year Serra Vineyards will be a popular tour stop for those wishing to get a first look at the newest tasting room to open in the valley Serra is located at 222 Missouri Flat Road near other popular wineries including Troon Vineyard Schmidt Family Vineyards Rossellarsquos and Wooldridge Creek Completed this April the 3500 square foot building was designed to incorporate all aspects of the tasting experience The eco-friendly building offers some of the most incredible views of the Applegate Valley from inside the tasting room and from a magnum-sized party deck Serra Vineyards was the former home of Applegate Red

owned and farmed by legendary winemaker Frank Ferreira who passed away in 2009 Today Ferreirarsquos original tasting room which resembles more of a snack-shack remains on the property in the shadow of the new tasting room Going forward it will be used as an ancillary tasting location and marketplace

Today Jacksonville residents Scott and Krissa Fernandes own the 75-acre property which includes the vineyard winery and tasting room Since purchasing the vineyard which Ferreira had planted to Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet-Franc and Merlot Scott and Krissa have planted 15 new acres to Tempranillo and Malbec

The tasting room is managed by Liz Wan who doubles as Serrarsquos marketing director Wan whorsquos a major marketing force behind the Southern Oregon wine region has worked on the World of Wine event in Jacksonville and the Rogue Valley Wine and Food event and others

Scott Fernandes notes ldquoThe new facility was designed and conceptualized by our family to reduce the potential negative environmental impact of a winery building on the landscape We maximized efficiency of Green Building applications everywhere we couldrdquo

The new facility includes an outdoor crush pad an indoor tank room and production area barrel room kitchen laboratory tasting room and officesmdashall fabricated and manufactured with American steel 89 of which was recycled and repurposed steel Scott adds ldquoWe also designed it with slope and position of the roof to maximize the future installation of solar panels to take advantage of the abundant Applegate Valley sunshinerdquo

In addition to Serrarsquos new digs UnCorked guests will most likely get a glimpse of the new Wine Hopper

van as it jets 15 guests from winery to winery during the day The shiny black touring van is a new Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van offering its passengers unparalleled comfort Wine Hopper owner Brad Niva says the company now offers daily tours of the Applegate wine region with pick-updrop-off locations in Medford Ashland and Jacksonville In Jacksonville the Wine Hopper will meet guests every day at the corner of California and 3rd Streets at the Beekman Bank After hours on certain days of the week the van is also available to rent for private tours to any of the regionrsquos 127 vineyards and 40+ tasting roomshellip for birthday parties anniversary celebrations and other special occasions Reach Wine Hopper at (541-476-WINE or winehoppertourscom) and see their ad on page 3 of this issue

The Unfettered Critic by Paula Block Erdmann amp Terry Erdmann

If we had to choose a favorite from all of Broadwayrsquos tuneful offerings My Fair Lady would likely lead

the pack So how ldquoloverlyrdquo for us that the Oregon Shakespeare Festival currently is presenting an exceptional interpretation of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewersquos 1956 classic

You know the story Eliza Doolittle good-hearted ldquosquashed cabbage leafrdquo of a flower girl encounters Henry Higgins distinguished overbearing snob of a linguistics professor Higgins observes that Elizarsquos Cockney accent keeps her eternally bound to the lower rungs of society ldquoLook at her a prisrsquoner of the guttersrdquo he states ldquocondemned by every syllable she uttersrdquo When Higgins boasts to his friend Colonel Pickering that by teaching the girl proper English he could get her a job as a shop assistant clever Eliza takes note The next morning she shows up at Higginsrsquo doorstep offering to pay for speech lessons Recalling the professorrsquos claim that he could ldquopass her off as a duchess at an Embassy ballrdquo Pickering proposes a wager and Higgins bites As Eliza endures weeks of insults (tempered by chocolates) she realizes that she isnrsquot the ignorant guttersnipe Higgins thinks she ismdashand therein lies the funhellip

And the songs almost all timeless standards Excelling as Eliza lively actress Rachael Warren makes us want to join in as she sings ldquoThe Rain In Spainrdquo and ldquoI Could Have Danced All Nightrdquo We actually feel for Higgins as actor Jonathan Haugen quietly laments ldquoIrsquove Grown Accustomed To Her Facerdquo The leads are so good that we willingly relinquish memories of incandescent performers like Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews (or Audrey Hepburn) in the roles Warren lifts Eliza into a place all her own while Haugen smartly sings his way through the tunes rather than ldquotalkrdquo the songs as Harrison once did

Wersquove long thought that My Fair Lady contains two unnecessary characters Freddie the misguided chap who pines

for Eliza isnrsquot an integral part of the main story He exists to demonstrate Elizarsquos acceptance into a more elevated level of society On the other end of the scale Alfred Elizarsquos nersquoer-do-well father shows the depths shersquos emerged from They have nice songs though and director Amanda Dehnert found wonderfully innovative ways to use them As Freddie actor Ken Robinson nearly steals the show with his hilarious performance of the once-staid ballad ldquoThe Street Where You Liverdquo which infers that his romantic attachment may literally be for the streetmdash

cobblestones gravel and all And we applaud OSF staple Anthony Heald as Alfred who demonstrates astounding energy during an extended dance routine in ldquoGet Me To the Church On Timerdquo As Heald and an ensemble of dancers stomp about the stage the number resembles a play-within-the-play brimming with excitement

Dehnertrsquos best decision may be in her staging Most of the castmdashand the

musiciansmdashremain on stage at all times so that wardrobe location and scene changes happen via a fluid choreography that is fully visiblehellipyet largely unnoticeable ldquoLife isnrsquot neat and theatre isnrsquot cleanrdquo Dehnert asserts ldquoYou should see where the lights hang see the clothes being put on and taken off see how people transformrdquo

My Fair Lady was based on George Bernard Shawrsquos play Pygmalion first produced in l916 Shaw in turn based his story on a verse from the Greek poet Ovidrsquos Metamorphoses ldquoPygmalion critical of faults which nature planted in female hearts lived unmarried With skill he carved a statue out of ivory and gave it exquisite beauty She was so beautiful he fell in love with his creationrdquo

Two thousand years later in Ashland so will you

Paula and Terry each have long impressive-sounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios Theyrsquore now happily relaxed into Jacksonville

Sometimes life and theatre is more than Fair

How do we teach children

the value of eating healthy foods As a parent this is a difficult questionmdashdo we force green vegetables at dinner as a matter of course or do we find creative ways to integrate healthy foods into our daily routines Making nutrition a fun and interesting activity for children isnrsquot easy but that is what ldquoRogue Valley Farm to Schoolrdquo aims to do ldquoEducate children about our food system through hands-on farm and garden programs and by increasing local foods in school mealsrdquo

In addition to the Farm to School program we are thrilled to be expanding the Childrenrsquos Heritage Fair to three days this year On May 30-31 Hanley Farm will be hosting school groups from all over the Rogue Valley to learn about local history farming and to participate

Up Close and Personal with Local Photographer Kathleen Hoevet

Fifth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish

Sometimes a chance encounter captures ones attention and sets us on a new and unexpected path

Such was the case for Kathy Hoevet who got her start as a photographer only a few years ago upon discovering the online community and image hosting site Flickr After browsing the site she was thoroughly impressed with the photos taken by a diverse group of talented artists Kathy was inspired to get a camera and set-out on a journey to explore her surroundings through the cameras lens With encouragement from her daughter to turn her hobby into a business Kathy sought-out Hannah West who helped set up her first showing at the Good Bean Coffee Shopmdashand she hasnrsquot looked back since

Befriending a local photo club and other photographers with the same camera she began to ask questions to gain better knowledge in the art of being a photographer ldquoNever shoot in auto moderdquo was one of the first bits of advice received To this day Kathy adheres to manual settings allowing her full control (of the camera at least) to create an image that reflects her vision of what lies before her She did however confess to a distrust of her own eyesrsquo ability to properly focus and therefore tends to rely on auto focus Other lessons

learned include the importance of composition leading lines the effect of light value space etchellip much the same as a painter learns the art of painting

To gain a better understanding of Photoshop tools Kathy attended study courses lead by well-known photographer Sean Bagshaw She credits him for teaching her a favorite technique which is to take a dynamic range of images and blend them together to create a much stronger final shot

While attending outdoor workshops lead by Sean David Cobb and Zach Schneph Kathy found herself chasing the early morning light in the Palouse and Olympic Mountains These trips taught her the importance of getting out

early and how quickly light changes a scene Shadows came and went so fast that she was constantly picking up her tripod and moving from spot to spot to capture the light and the effect it had on the scene before her lens Kathy couldnrsquot be happier with the great insight and

constructive criticism that was bestowed upon her Now shersquos eager to attend more workshops with these fine photographers some of whom are now friends

Kathyrsquos work is on display at the Black Oak Medical

Center Rogue Regency Inn Peoplersquos Bank on Barnett and Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville She also creates greeting cards with lots of wine and vineyard themes celebrating Southern Oregon wine country In Jrsquoville yoursquoll find them at Bella Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at

Rogue Regency Inn in Medford (More locations are coming soon)

Kathy has recently received requests to do product shots which she has found to be an enjoyable experience and a good challenge However the bulk of her work will continue to be

landscape and outdoor-based which she finds most peaceful and calming

Kathy will be showing her beautiful photographs in the Naversen Room of the Jacksonville Library through July 17 Please call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Rails to Trails Project Possible

Nowadays small businesses need all of the free help they can get and todayrsquos social media and

online search options can be that help Existing customers play an important role in todayrsquos business environment with their ability to post comments ratings and reviews on a variety of internet sites and social media platforms This feedback can help local businesses in attracting new customers

Todayrsquos travelers shoppers and diners seek-out more information on where to stay shop and dine than ever before Whether on a mobile device or home computer they use TripAdvisor YELP and Google Maps to locate and get reviews on businesses and services before deciding where to spend their money They also seek-out input from friends and family through Facebook Pinterest LinkedIn and Twitter

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

It screens Friday night May 17 at 700pm at Old City Hall

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor with a straight spine (leaning against a wall can help) Slow down your breathing and close your eyes

Man Suhaavee Mudra Kriya the mudra (hand gesture) which pleases the mind

bull Create a triangle with the tips of the middle fingers together and the tips of the thumbs together with the pinkie and ring fingers curled into the palm

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Itrsquos hard to imagine that pioneer-vintner Peter Britt dreamed

Jacksonville would be considered the ldquoheart of Southern Oregon wine countryrdquo 150 after he planted the first grapes here In the early 1850rsquos Britt did just that and test-planted five acres around his hillside home to 200 grape varietals some sold as table grapes others to produce wine Forty

years later more than 100 acres in Jacksonville had been planted by more than a dozen growers Had it not been for Prohibition destroying the wine industry in 1916 its likely the region would have become world-famous for its wines rather than its pears

Today modern-day Jacksonville rests in the middle of 150 vineyards and tasting rooms that stretch from Roxy Ann peak in the East Medford hills to the Applegate Valley Wine Trail to the west There are dozens more dotting hillsides and slopes from Gold Hill to Ashland with more to come

To help celebrate what Britt started a host of wine-related headliner events await including the Applegate UnCorked Barrel Tour on May 19 and Roam the Rogue on May 25 This month kicks-off high-season for our wine industry now an economic driver for Southern Oregon that is changing the local landscape both socially

and economically On that note please read about a new winery consortium on page 7mdashJOWAmdashthe Jacksonville Oregon Wineries Association formed to promote six in-town tasting rooms

Speaking of tasting roomshellipthe Review has moved its office to 220 E California Streetmdashthe former home of the Umpqua Tasting Room next door to the McCully House Shortly after the owners of the UTR purchased the Gelateria building up the street and relocated the tasting room we moved in and got to work bringing you all the news and happenings in Our Small Town with Big Atmoshere

fun for wine and food lovers featuring wine and food pairings at 17 Applegate Valley wineries Tickets are only $39 and include a commemorative wine glass tastings and food Several wineries will also feature live music and demonstrations related to winemaking As always DDrsquos (Designated Drivers) attend for free and may partake in all food offerings as well as complimentary soft drinks and water along the way

The growing list of wineries west of Jacksonville known collectively as AVOVAmdashApplegate Valley Oregon Vintners Associationmdashholds fall and spring barrel tours offering a fun and relaxed chance to taste wines directly from the barrel before they are bottled and purchased by the public The wines are carefully chosen by each winery as are each of the delectable homemade foods paired with the wines The self-guided and self-paced tour kicks-off at 1100am and runs until 500pm

This year Serra Vineyards will be a popular tour stop for those wishing to get a first look at the newest tasting room to open in the valley Serra is located at 222 Missouri Flat Road near other popular wineries including Troon Vineyard Schmidt Family Vineyards Rossellarsquos and Wooldridge Creek Completed this April the 3500 square foot building was designed to incorporate all aspects of the tasting experience The eco-friendly building offers some of the most incredible views of the Applegate Valley from inside the tasting room and from a magnum-sized party deck Serra Vineyards was the former home of Applegate Red

owned and farmed by legendary winemaker Frank Ferreira who passed away in 2009 Today Ferreirarsquos original tasting room which resembles more of a snack-shack remains on the property in the shadow of the new tasting room Going forward it will be used as an ancillary tasting location and marketplace

Today Jacksonville residents Scott and Krissa Fernandes own the 75-acre property which includes the vineyard winery and tasting room Since purchasing the vineyard which Ferreira had planted to Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet-Franc and Merlot Scott and Krissa have planted 15 new acres to Tempranillo and Malbec

The tasting room is managed by Liz Wan who doubles as Serrarsquos marketing director Wan whorsquos a major marketing force behind the Southern Oregon wine region has worked on the World of Wine event in Jacksonville and the Rogue Valley Wine and Food event and others

Scott Fernandes notes ldquoThe new facility was designed and conceptualized by our family to reduce the potential negative environmental impact of a winery building on the landscape We maximized efficiency of Green Building applications everywhere we couldrdquo

The new facility includes an outdoor crush pad an indoor tank room and production area barrel room kitchen laboratory tasting room and officesmdashall fabricated and manufactured with American steel 89 of which was recycled and repurposed steel Scott adds ldquoWe also designed it with slope and position of the roof to maximize the future installation of solar panels to take advantage of the abundant Applegate Valley sunshinerdquo

In addition to Serrarsquos new digs UnCorked guests will most likely get a glimpse of the new Wine Hopper

van as it jets 15 guests from winery to winery during the day The shiny black touring van is a new Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van offering its passengers unparalleled comfort Wine Hopper owner Brad Niva says the company now offers daily tours of the Applegate wine region with pick-updrop-off locations in Medford Ashland and Jacksonville In Jacksonville the Wine Hopper will meet guests every day at the corner of California and 3rd Streets at the Beekman Bank After hours on certain days of the week the van is also available to rent for private tours to any of the regionrsquos 127 vineyards and 40+ tasting roomshellip for birthday parties anniversary celebrations and other special occasions Reach Wine Hopper at (541-476-WINE or winehoppertourscom) and see their ad on page 3 of this issue

The Unfettered Critic by Paula Block Erdmann amp Terry Erdmann

If we had to choose a favorite from all of Broadwayrsquos tuneful offerings My Fair Lady would likely lead

the pack So how ldquoloverlyrdquo for us that the Oregon Shakespeare Festival currently is presenting an exceptional interpretation of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewersquos 1956 classic

You know the story Eliza Doolittle good-hearted ldquosquashed cabbage leafrdquo of a flower girl encounters Henry Higgins distinguished overbearing snob of a linguistics professor Higgins observes that Elizarsquos Cockney accent keeps her eternally bound to the lower rungs of society ldquoLook at her a prisrsquoner of the guttersrdquo he states ldquocondemned by every syllable she uttersrdquo When Higgins boasts to his friend Colonel Pickering that by teaching the girl proper English he could get her a job as a shop assistant clever Eliza takes note The next morning she shows up at Higginsrsquo doorstep offering to pay for speech lessons Recalling the professorrsquos claim that he could ldquopass her off as a duchess at an Embassy ballrdquo Pickering proposes a wager and Higgins bites As Eliza endures weeks of insults (tempered by chocolates) she realizes that she isnrsquot the ignorant guttersnipe Higgins thinks she ismdashand therein lies the funhellip

And the songs almost all timeless standards Excelling as Eliza lively actress Rachael Warren makes us want to join in as she sings ldquoThe Rain In Spainrdquo and ldquoI Could Have Danced All Nightrdquo We actually feel for Higgins as actor Jonathan Haugen quietly laments ldquoIrsquove Grown Accustomed To Her Facerdquo The leads are so good that we willingly relinquish memories of incandescent performers like Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews (or Audrey Hepburn) in the roles Warren lifts Eliza into a place all her own while Haugen smartly sings his way through the tunes rather than ldquotalkrdquo the songs as Harrison once did

Wersquove long thought that My Fair Lady contains two unnecessary characters Freddie the misguided chap who pines

for Eliza isnrsquot an integral part of the main story He exists to demonstrate Elizarsquos acceptance into a more elevated level of society On the other end of the scale Alfred Elizarsquos nersquoer-do-well father shows the depths shersquos emerged from They have nice songs though and director Amanda Dehnert found wonderfully innovative ways to use them As Freddie actor Ken Robinson nearly steals the show with his hilarious performance of the once-staid ballad ldquoThe Street Where You Liverdquo which infers that his romantic attachment may literally be for the streetmdash

cobblestones gravel and all And we applaud OSF staple Anthony Heald as Alfred who demonstrates astounding energy during an extended dance routine in ldquoGet Me To the Church On Timerdquo As Heald and an ensemble of dancers stomp about the stage the number resembles a play-within-the-play brimming with excitement

Dehnertrsquos best decision may be in her staging Most of the castmdashand the

musiciansmdashremain on stage at all times so that wardrobe location and scene changes happen via a fluid choreography that is fully visiblehellipyet largely unnoticeable ldquoLife isnrsquot neat and theatre isnrsquot cleanrdquo Dehnert asserts ldquoYou should see where the lights hang see the clothes being put on and taken off see how people transformrdquo

My Fair Lady was based on George Bernard Shawrsquos play Pygmalion first produced in l916 Shaw in turn based his story on a verse from the Greek poet Ovidrsquos Metamorphoses ldquoPygmalion critical of faults which nature planted in female hearts lived unmarried With skill he carved a statue out of ivory and gave it exquisite beauty She was so beautiful he fell in love with his creationrdquo

Two thousand years later in Ashland so will you

Paula and Terry each have long impressive-sounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios Theyrsquore now happily relaxed into Jacksonville

Sometimes life and theatre is more than Fair

How do we teach children

the value of eating healthy foods As a parent this is a difficult questionmdashdo we force green vegetables at dinner as a matter of course or do we find creative ways to integrate healthy foods into our daily routines Making nutrition a fun and interesting activity for children isnrsquot easy but that is what ldquoRogue Valley Farm to Schoolrdquo aims to do ldquoEducate children about our food system through hands-on farm and garden programs and by increasing local foods in school mealsrdquo

In addition to the Farm to School program we are thrilled to be expanding the Childrenrsquos Heritage Fair to three days this year On May 30-31 Hanley Farm will be hosting school groups from all over the Rogue Valley to learn about local history farming and to participate

Up Close and Personal with Local Photographer Kathleen Hoevet

Fifth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish

Sometimes a chance encounter captures ones attention and sets us on a new and unexpected path

Such was the case for Kathy Hoevet who got her start as a photographer only a few years ago upon discovering the online community and image hosting site Flickr After browsing the site she was thoroughly impressed with the photos taken by a diverse group of talented artists Kathy was inspired to get a camera and set-out on a journey to explore her surroundings through the cameras lens With encouragement from her daughter to turn her hobby into a business Kathy sought-out Hannah West who helped set up her first showing at the Good Bean Coffee Shopmdashand she hasnrsquot looked back since

Befriending a local photo club and other photographers with the same camera she began to ask questions to gain better knowledge in the art of being a photographer ldquoNever shoot in auto moderdquo was one of the first bits of advice received To this day Kathy adheres to manual settings allowing her full control (of the camera at least) to create an image that reflects her vision of what lies before her She did however confess to a distrust of her own eyesrsquo ability to properly focus and therefore tends to rely on auto focus Other lessons

learned include the importance of composition leading lines the effect of light value space etchellip much the same as a painter learns the art of painting

To gain a better understanding of Photoshop tools Kathy attended study courses lead by well-known photographer Sean Bagshaw She credits him for teaching her a favorite technique which is to take a dynamic range of images and blend them together to create a much stronger final shot

While attending outdoor workshops lead by Sean David Cobb and Zach Schneph Kathy found herself chasing the early morning light in the Palouse and Olympic Mountains These trips taught her the importance of getting out

early and how quickly light changes a scene Shadows came and went so fast that she was constantly picking up her tripod and moving from spot to spot to capture the light and the effect it had on the scene before her lens Kathy couldnrsquot be happier with the great insight and

constructive criticism that was bestowed upon her Now shersquos eager to attend more workshops with these fine photographers some of whom are now friends

Kathyrsquos work is on display at the Black Oak Medical

Center Rogue Regency Inn Peoplersquos Bank on Barnett and Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville She also creates greeting cards with lots of wine and vineyard themes celebrating Southern Oregon wine country In Jrsquoville yoursquoll find them at Bella Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at

Rogue Regency Inn in Medford (More locations are coming soon)

Kathy has recently received requests to do product shots which she has found to be an enjoyable experience and a good challenge However the bulk of her work will continue to be

landscape and outdoor-based which she finds most peaceful and calming

Kathy will be showing her beautiful photographs in the Naversen Room of the Jacksonville Library through July 17 Please call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

Hopefully these tips have inspired you to try some of these packing light ideas on a future trip Save valuable travel dollars (not to mention your back) and have less stress while yoursquore at it Less stuff = less stress A good motto for life

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Itrsquos hard to imagine that pioneer-vintner Peter Britt dreamed

Jacksonville would be considered the ldquoheart of Southern Oregon wine countryrdquo 150 after he planted the first grapes here In the early 1850rsquos Britt did just that and test-planted five acres around his hillside home to 200 grape varietals some sold as table grapes others to produce wine Forty

years later more than 100 acres in Jacksonville had been planted by more than a dozen growers Had it not been for Prohibition destroying the wine industry in 1916 its likely the region would have become world-famous for its wines rather than its pears

Today modern-day Jacksonville rests in the middle of 150 vineyards and tasting rooms that stretch from Roxy Ann peak in the East Medford hills to the Applegate Valley Wine Trail to the west There are dozens more dotting hillsides and slopes from Gold Hill to Ashland with more to come

To help celebrate what Britt started a host of wine-related headliner events await including the Applegate UnCorked Barrel Tour on May 19 and Roam the Rogue on May 25 This month kicks-off high-season for our wine industry now an economic driver for Southern Oregon that is changing the local landscape both socially

and economically On that note please read about a new winery consortium on page 7mdashJOWAmdashthe Jacksonville Oregon Wineries Association formed to promote six in-town tasting rooms

Speaking of tasting roomshellipthe Review has moved its office to 220 E California Streetmdashthe former home of the Umpqua Tasting Room next door to the McCully House Shortly after the owners of the UTR purchased the Gelateria building up the street and relocated the tasting room we moved in and got to work bringing you all the news and happenings in Our Small Town with Big Atmoshere

Spring Barrel of Fun for Applegate Winery Fans

On Sunday May 19 join the Applegate Valley vintners for their Spring UnCorked Barrel Tour This is another not-to-be-missed day of

fun for wine and food lovers featuring wine and food pairings at 17 Applegate Valley wineries Tickets are only $39 and include a commemorative wine glass tastings and food Several wineries will also feature live music and demonstrations related to winemaking As always DDrsquos (Designated Drivers) attend for free and may partake in all food offerings as well as complimentary soft drinks and water along the way

The growing list of wineries west of Jacksonville known collectively as AVOVAmdashApplegate Valley Oregon Vintners Associationmdashholds fall and spring barrel tours offering a fun and relaxed chance to taste wines directly from the barrel before they are bottled and purchased by the public The wines are carefully chosen by each winery as are each of the delectable homemade foods paired with the wines The self-guided and self-paced tour kicks-off at 1100am and runs until 500pm

This year Serra Vineyards will be a popular tour stop for those wishing to get a first look at the newest tasting room to open in the valley Serra is located at 222 Missouri Flat Road near other popular wineries including Troon Vineyard Schmidt Family Vineyards Rossellarsquos and Wooldridge Creek Completed this April the 3500 square foot building was designed to incorporate all aspects of the tasting experience The eco-friendly building offers some of the most incredible views of the Applegate Valley from inside the tasting room and from a magnum-sized party deck Serra Vineyards was the former home of Applegate Red

owned and farmed by legendary winemaker Frank Ferreira who passed away in 2009 Today Ferreirarsquos original tasting room which resembles more of a snack-shack remains on the property in the shadow of the new tasting room Going forward it will be used as an ancillary tasting location and marketplace

Today Jacksonville residents Scott and Krissa Fernandes own the 75-acre property which includes the vineyard winery and tasting room Since purchasing the vineyard which Ferreira had planted to Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet-Franc and Merlot Scott and Krissa have planted 15 new acres to Tempranillo and Malbec

The tasting room is managed by Liz Wan who doubles as Serrarsquos marketing director Wan whorsquos a major marketing force behind the Southern Oregon wine region has worked on the World of Wine event in Jacksonville and the Rogue Valley Wine and Food event and others

Scott Fernandes notes ldquoThe new facility was designed and conceptualized by our family to reduce the potential negative environmental impact of a winery building on the landscape We maximized efficiency of Green Building applications everywhere we couldrdquo

The new facility includes an outdoor crush pad an indoor tank room and production area barrel room kitchen laboratory tasting room and officesmdashall fabricated and manufactured with American steel 89 of which was recycled and repurposed steel Scott adds ldquoWe also designed it with slope and position of the roof to maximize the future installation of solar panels to take advantage of the abundant Applegate Valley sunshinerdquo

In addition to Serrarsquos new digs UnCorked guests will most likely get a glimpse of the new Wine Hopper

van as it jets 15 guests from winery to winery during the day The shiny black touring van is a new Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van offering its passengers unparalleled comfort Wine Hopper owner Brad Niva says the company now offers daily tours of the Applegate wine region with pick-updrop-off locations in Medford Ashland and Jacksonville In Jacksonville the Wine Hopper will meet guests every day at the corner of California and 3rd Streets at the Beekman Bank After hours on certain days of the week the van is also available to rent for private tours to any of the regionrsquos 127 vineyards and 40+ tasting roomshellip for birthday parties anniversary celebrations and other special occasions Reach Wine Hopper at (541-476-WINE or winehoppertourscom) and see their ad on page 3 of this issue

If we had to choose a favorite from all of Broadwayrsquos tuneful offerings My Fair Lady would likely lead

the pack So how ldquoloverlyrdquo for us that the Oregon Shakespeare Festival currently is presenting an exceptional interpretation of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewersquos 1956 classic

You know the story Eliza Doolittle good-hearted ldquosquashed cabbage leafrdquo of a flower girl encounters Henry Higgins distinguished overbearing snob of a linguistics professor Higgins observes that Elizarsquos Cockney accent keeps her eternally bound to the lower rungs of society ldquoLook at her a prisrsquoner of the guttersrdquo he states ldquocondemned by every syllable she uttersrdquo When Higgins boasts to his friend Colonel Pickering that by teaching the girl proper English he could get her a job as a shop assistant clever Eliza takes note The next morning she shows up at Higginsrsquo doorstep offering to pay for speech lessons Recalling the professorrsquos claim that he could ldquopass her off as a duchess at an Embassy ballrdquo Pickering proposes a wager and Higgins bites As Eliza endures weeks of insults (tempered by chocolates) she realizes that she isnrsquot the ignorant guttersnipe Higgins thinks she ismdashand therein lies the funhellip

And the songs almost all timeless standards Excelling as Eliza lively actress Rachael Warren makes us want to join in as she sings ldquoThe Rain In Spainrdquo and ldquoI Could Have Danced All Nightrdquo We actually feel for Higgins as actor Jonathan Haugen quietly laments ldquoIrsquove Grown Accustomed To Her Facerdquo The leads are so good that we willingly relinquish memories of incandescent performers like Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews (or Audrey Hepburn) in the roles Warren lifts Eliza into a place all her own while Haugen smartly sings his way through the tunes rather than ldquotalkrdquo the songs as Harrison once did

Wersquove long thought that My Fair Lady contains two unnecessary characters Freddie the misguided chap who pines

for Eliza isnrsquot an integral part of the main story He exists to demonstrate Elizarsquos acceptance into a more elevated level of society On the other end of the scale Alfred Elizarsquos nersquoer-do-well father shows the depths shersquos emerged from They have nice songs though and director Amanda Dehnert found wonderfully innovative ways to use them As Freddie actor Ken Robinson nearly steals the show with his hilarious performance of the once-staid ballad ldquoThe Street Where You Liverdquo which infers that his romantic attachment may literally be for the streetmdash

cobblestones gravel and all And we applaud OSF staple Anthony Heald as Alfred who demonstrates astounding energy during an extended dance routine in ldquoGet Me To the Church On Timerdquo As Heald and an ensemble of dancers stomp about the stage the number resembles a play-within-the-play brimming with excitement

Dehnertrsquos best decision may be in her staging Most of the castmdashand the

musiciansmdashremain on stage at all times so that wardrobe location and scene changes happen via a fluid choreography that is fully visiblehellipyet largely unnoticeable ldquoLife isnrsquot neat and theatre isnrsquot cleanrdquo Dehnert asserts ldquoYou should see where the lights hang see the clothes being put on and taken off see how people transformrdquo

My Fair Lady was based on George Bernard Shawrsquos play Pygmalion first produced in l916 Shaw in turn based his story on a verse from the Greek poet Ovidrsquos Metamorphoses ldquoPygmalion critical of faults which nature planted in female hearts lived unmarried With skill he carved a statue out of ivory and gave it exquisite beauty She was so beautiful he fell in love with his creationrdquo

Two thousand years later in Ashland so will you

Paula and Terry each have long impressive-sounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios Theyrsquore now happily relaxed into Jacksonville

Sometimes life and theatre is more than Fair

How do we teach children

the value of eating healthy foods As a parent this is a difficult questionmdashdo we force green vegetables at dinner as a matter of course or do we find creative ways to integrate healthy foods into our daily routines Making nutrition a fun and interesting activity for children isnrsquot easy but that is what ldquoRogue Valley Farm to Schoolrdquo aims to do ldquoEducate children about our food system through hands-on farm and garden programs and by increasing local foods in school mealsrdquo

In addition to the Farm to School program we are thrilled to be expanding the Childrenrsquos Heritage Fair to three days this year On May 30-31 Hanley Farm will be hosting school groups from all over the Rogue Valley to learn about local history farming and to participate

Up Close and Personal with Local Photographer Kathleen Hoevet

Fifth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish

Sometimes a chance encounter captures ones attention and sets us on a new and unexpected path

Such was the case for Kathy Hoevet who got her start as a photographer only a few years ago upon discovering the online community and image hosting site Flickr After browsing the site she was thoroughly impressed with the photos taken by a diverse group of talented artists Kathy was inspired to get a camera and set-out on a journey to explore her surroundings through the cameras lens With encouragement from her daughter to turn her hobby into a business Kathy sought-out Hannah West who helped set up her first showing at the Good Bean Coffee Shopmdashand she hasnrsquot looked back since

Befriending a local photo club and other photographers with the same camera she began to ask questions to gain better knowledge in the art of being a photographer ldquoNever shoot in auto moderdquo was one of the first bits of advice received To this day Kathy adheres to manual settings allowing her full control (of the camera at least) to create an image that reflects her vision of what lies before her She did however confess to a distrust of her own eyesrsquo ability to properly focus and therefore tends to rely on auto focus Other lessons

learned include the importance of composition leading lines the effect of light value space etchellip much the same as a painter learns the art of painting

To gain a better understanding of Photoshop tools Kathy attended study courses lead by well-known photographer Sean Bagshaw She credits him for teaching her a favorite technique which is to take a dynamic range of images and blend them together to create a much stronger final shot

While attending outdoor workshops lead by Sean David Cobb and Zach Schneph Kathy found herself chasing the early morning light in the Palouse and Olympic Mountains These trips taught her the importance of getting out

early and how quickly light changes a scene Shadows came and went so fast that she was constantly picking up her tripod and moving from spot to spot to capture the light and the effect it had on the scene before her lens Kathy couldnrsquot be happier with the great insight and

constructive criticism that was bestowed upon her Now shersquos eager to attend more workshops with these fine photographers some of whom are now friends

Kathyrsquos work is on display at the Black Oak Medical

Center Rogue Regency Inn Peoplersquos Bank on Barnett and Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville She also creates greeting cards with lots of wine and vineyard themes celebrating Southern Oregon wine country In Jrsquoville yoursquoll find them at Bella Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at

Rogue Regency Inn in Medford (More locations are coming soon)

Kathy has recently received requests to do product shots which she has found to be an enjoyable experience and a good challenge However the bulk of her work will continue to be

landscape and outdoor-based which she finds most peaceful and calming

Kathy will be showing her beautiful photographs in the Naversen Room of the Jacksonville Library through July 17 Please call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

It screens Friday night May 17 at 700pm at Old City Hall

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Spring Barrel of Fun for Applegate Winery Fans

On Sunday May 19 join the Applegate Valley vintners for their Spring UnCorked Barrel Tour This is another not-to-be-missed day of

fun for wine and food lovers featuring wine and food pairings at 17 Applegate Valley wineries Tickets are only $39 and include a commemorative wine glass tastings and food Several wineries will also feature live music and demonstrations related to winemaking As always DDrsquos (Designated Drivers) attend for free and may partake in all food offerings as well as complimentary soft drinks and water along the way

The growing list of wineries west of Jacksonville known collectively as AVOVAmdashApplegate Valley Oregon Vintners Associationmdashholds fall and spring barrel tours offering a fun and relaxed chance to taste wines directly from the barrel before they are bottled and purchased by the public The wines are carefully chosen by each winery as are each of the delectable homemade foods paired with the wines The self-guided and self-paced tour kicks-off at 1100am and runs until 500pm

This year Serra Vineyards will be a popular tour stop for those wishing to get a first look at the newest tasting room to open in the valley Serra is located at 222 Missouri Flat Road near other popular wineries including Troon Vineyard Schmidt Family Vineyards Rossellarsquos and Wooldridge Creek Completed this April the 3500 square foot building was designed to incorporate all aspects of the tasting experience The eco-friendly building offers some of the most incredible views of the Applegate Valley from inside the tasting room and from a magnum-sized party deck Serra Vineyards was the former home of Applegate Red

owned and farmed by legendary winemaker Frank Ferreira who passed away in 2009 Today Ferreirarsquos original tasting room which resembles more of a snack-shack remains on the property in the shadow of the new tasting room Going forward it will be used as an ancillary tasting location and marketplace

Today Jacksonville residents Scott and Krissa Fernandes own the 75-acre property which includes the vineyard winery and tasting room Since purchasing the vineyard which Ferreira had planted to Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet-Franc and Merlot Scott and Krissa have planted 15 new acres to Tempranillo and Malbec

The tasting room is managed by Liz Wan who doubles as Serrarsquos marketing director Wan whorsquos a major marketing force behind the Southern Oregon wine region has worked on the World of Wine event in Jacksonville and the Rogue Valley Wine and Food event and others

Scott Fernandes notes ldquoThe new facility was designed and conceptualized by our family to reduce the potential negative environmental impact of a winery building on the landscape We maximized efficiency of Green Building applications everywhere we couldrdquo

The new facility includes an outdoor crush pad an indoor tank room and production area barrel room kitchen laboratory tasting room and officesmdashall fabricated and manufactured with American steel 89 of which was recycled and repurposed steel Scott adds ldquoWe also designed it with slope and position of the roof to maximize the future installation of solar panels to take advantage of the abundant Applegate Valley sunshinerdquo

In addition to Serrarsquos new digs UnCorked guests will most likely get a glimpse of the new Wine Hopper

van as it jets 15 guests from winery to winery during the day The shiny black touring van is a new Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van offering its passengers unparalleled comfort Wine Hopper owner Brad Niva says the company now offers daily tours of the Applegate wine region with pick-updrop-off locations in Medford Ashland and Jacksonville In Jacksonville the Wine Hopper will meet guests every day at the corner of California and 3rd Streets at the Beekman Bank After hours on certain days of the week the van is also available to rent for private tours to any of the regionrsquos 127 vineyards and 40+ tasting roomshellip for birthday parties anniversary celebrations and other special occasions Reach Wine Hopper at (541-476-WINE or winehoppertourscom) and see their ad on page 3 of this issue

The Jacksonville Oregon Wineries Association (JOWA) is a collection of six wineries each offering a unique wine tasting experience located within one mile of Jacksonville The Association was formed during the development of a collective brochure being prepared by Porscha Schiller of South Stage Cellars ldquoWe didnrsquot just want to have a piece of paper with a list of participating wineriesrdquo said Dan Marca the Associationrsquos President ldquoso we decided to gather as a group and determine how we could all work together to draw attention to the Jacksonville wineriesrdquo Having only six members has its advantages and after only one meeting JOWA was born

The Unfettered Critic by Paula Block Erdmann amp Terry Erdmann

If we had to choose a favorite from all of Broadwayrsquos tuneful offerings My Fair Lady would likely lead

the pack So how ldquoloverlyrdquo for us that the Oregon Shakespeare Festival currently is presenting an exceptional interpretation of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewersquos 1956 classic

You know the story Eliza Doolittle good-hearted ldquosquashed cabbage leafrdquo of a flower girl encounters Henry Higgins distinguished overbearing snob of a linguistics professor Higgins observes that Elizarsquos Cockney accent keeps her eternally bound to the lower rungs of society ldquoLook at her a prisrsquoner of the guttersrdquo he states ldquocondemned by every syllable she uttersrdquo When Higgins boasts to his friend Colonel Pickering that by teaching the girl proper English he could get her a job as a shop assistant clever Eliza takes note The next morning she shows up at Higginsrsquo doorstep offering to pay for speech lessons Recalling the professorrsquos claim that he could ldquopass her off as a duchess at an Embassy ballrdquo Pickering proposes a wager and Higgins bites As Eliza endures weeks of insults (tempered by chocolates) she realizes that she isnrsquot the ignorant guttersnipe Higgins thinks she ismdashand therein lies the funhellip

And the songs almost all timeless standards Excelling as Eliza lively actress Rachael Warren makes us want to join in as she sings ldquoThe Rain In Spainrdquo and ldquoI Could Have Danced All Nightrdquo We actually feel for Higgins as actor Jonathan Haugen quietly laments ldquoIrsquove Grown Accustomed To Her Facerdquo The leads are so good that we willingly relinquish memories of incandescent performers like Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews (or Audrey Hepburn) in the roles Warren lifts Eliza into a place all her own while Haugen smartly sings his way through the tunes rather than ldquotalkrdquo the songs as Harrison once did

Wersquove long thought that My Fair Lady contains two unnecessary characters Freddie the misguided chap who pines

for Eliza isnrsquot an integral part of the main story He exists to demonstrate Elizarsquos acceptance into a more elevated level of society On the other end of the scale Alfred Elizarsquos nersquoer-do-well father shows the depths shersquos emerged from They have nice songs though and director Amanda Dehnert found wonderfully innovative ways to use them As Freddie actor Ken Robinson nearly steals the show with his hilarious performance of the once-staid ballad ldquoThe Street Where You Liverdquo which infers that his romantic attachment may literally be for the streetmdash

cobblestones gravel and all And we applaud OSF staple Anthony Heald as Alfred who demonstrates astounding energy during an extended dance routine in ldquoGet Me To the Church On Timerdquo As Heald and an ensemble of dancers stomp about the stage the number resembles a play-within-the-play brimming with excitement

Dehnertrsquos best decision may be in her staging Most of the castmdashand the

musiciansmdashremain on stage at all times so that wardrobe location and scene changes happen via a fluid choreography that is fully visiblehellipyet largely unnoticeable ldquoLife isnrsquot neat and theatre isnrsquot cleanrdquo Dehnert asserts ldquoYou should see where the lights hang see the clothes being put on and taken off see how people transformrdquo

My Fair Lady was based on George Bernard Shawrsquos play Pygmalion first produced in l916 Shaw in turn based his story on a verse from the Greek poet Ovidrsquos Metamorphoses ldquoPygmalion critical of faults which nature planted in female hearts lived unmarried With skill he carved a statue out of ivory and gave it exquisite beauty She was so beautiful he fell in love with his creationrdquo

Two thousand years later in Ashland so will you

Paula and Terry each have long impressive-sounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios Theyrsquore now happily relaxed into Jacksonville

Sometimes life and theatre is more than Fair

How do we teach children

the value of eating healthy foods As a parent this is a difficult questionmdashdo we force green vegetables at dinner as a matter of course or do we find creative ways to integrate healthy foods into our daily routines Making nutrition a fun and interesting activity for children isnrsquot easy but that is what ldquoRogue Valley Farm to Schoolrdquo aims to do ldquoEducate children about our food system through hands-on farm and garden programs and by increasing local foods in school mealsrdquo

In addition to the Farm to School program we are thrilled to be expanding the Childrenrsquos Heritage Fair to three days this year On May 30-31 Hanley Farm will be hosting school groups from all over the Rogue Valley to learn about local history farming and to participate

in games and crafts So far there are over 700 children registered to attend during the two days of school field trips On Saturday June 1st the public is welcome to attend the Fair where children of all ages can connect with history through hands-on activities The public day of the Fair will run from 1000am-400pm

Up Close and Personal with Local Photographer Kathleen Hoevet

Fifth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish

Sometimes a chance encounter captures ones attention and sets us on a new and unexpected path

Such was the case for Kathy Hoevet who got her start as a photographer only a few years ago upon discovering the online community and image hosting site Flickr After browsing the site she was thoroughly impressed with the photos taken by a diverse group of talented artists Kathy was inspired to get a camera and set-out on a journey to explore her surroundings through the cameras lens With encouragement from her daughter to turn her hobby into a business Kathy sought-out Hannah West who helped set up her first showing at the Good Bean Coffee Shopmdashand she hasnrsquot looked back since

Befriending a local photo club and other photographers with the same camera she began to ask questions to gain better knowledge in the art of being a photographer ldquoNever shoot in auto moderdquo was one of the first bits of advice received To this day Kathy adheres to manual settings allowing her full control (of the camera at least) to create an image that reflects her vision of what lies before her She did however confess to a distrust of her own eyesrsquo ability to properly focus and therefore tends to rely on auto focus Other lessons

learned include the importance of composition leading lines the effect of light value space etchellip much the same as a painter learns the art of painting

To gain a better understanding of Photoshop tools Kathy attended study courses lead by well-known photographer Sean Bagshaw She credits him for teaching her a favorite technique which is to take a dynamic range of images and blend them together to create a much stronger final shot

While attending outdoor workshops lead by Sean David Cobb and Zach Schneph Kathy found herself chasing the early morning light in the Palouse and Olympic Mountains These trips taught her the importance of getting out

early and how quickly light changes a scene Shadows came and went so fast that she was constantly picking up her tripod and moving from spot to spot to capture the light and the effect it had on the scene before her lens Kathy couldnrsquot be happier with the great insight and

constructive criticism that was bestowed upon her Now shersquos eager to attend more workshops with these fine photographers some of whom are now friends

Kathyrsquos work is on display at the Black Oak Medical

Center Rogue Regency Inn Peoplersquos Bank on Barnett and Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville She also creates greeting cards with lots of wine and vineyard themes celebrating Southern Oregon wine country In Jrsquoville yoursquoll find them at Bella Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at

Rogue Regency Inn in Medford (More locations are coming soon)

Kathy has recently received requests to do product shots which she has found to be an enjoyable experience and a good challenge However the bulk of her work will continue to be

landscape and outdoor-based which she finds most peaceful and calming

Kathy will be showing her beautiful photographs in the Naversen Room of the Jacksonville Library through July 17 Please call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Rails to Trails Project Possible

Nowadays small businesses need all of the free help they can get and todayrsquos social media and

online search options can be that help Existing customers play an important role in todayrsquos business environment with their ability to post comments ratings and reviews on a variety of internet sites and social media platforms This feedback can help local businesses in attracting new customers

Todayrsquos travelers shoppers and diners seek-out more information on where to stay shop and dine than ever before Whether on a mobile device or home computer they use TripAdvisor YELP and Google Maps to locate and get reviews on businesses and services before deciding where to spend their money They also seek-out input from friends and family through Facebook Pinterest LinkedIn and Twitter

Business and Community WebsitesmdashMany websites allow comments to be posted about the business as a whole or on specific products Your input helps in two ways First it validates the website for Google search purposes by proving that the business has customers and that those customers are interacting with the website Second it helps other users of the website by encouraging them to support the same businesses

BlogsmdashComment on a businessrsquo blog or any blog that discusses one of your favorite businesses

FacebookmdashldquoLikerdquo your favorite businesses Like comment on and share their posts so that your friends will see them too Check-in at the business when you visit Your recommendation carries a

lot of weight in a purchase decision with your friends

TripAdvisor amp YELPmdashRate and share reviews of businesses you have used If you are new to this take some time to read the other reviews and get a feel for the rating system Donrsquot post these reviews while at the business and using the free WiFi as it will appear to be a fake review And donrsquot be surprised if businesses respond to your reviews TripAdvisor encourages businesses to interact with their customers through reviews

User accounts are required for these tools YELP reviews may be filtered out until you are an established user Savvy users will know how to find them by removing the filter

Having significant numbers of and high quality reviews helps businesses increase their overall online presence Google the top search engine aggregates reviews from the majority of review sites and factors that into its search algorithm So a higher online presence gets a business ranked higher in a Google search

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Spring Barrel of Fun for Applegate Winery Fans

On Sunday May 19 join the Applegate Valley vintners for their Spring UnCorked Barrel Tour This is another not-to-be-missed day of

fun for wine and food lovers featuring wine and food pairings at 17 Applegate Valley wineries Tickets are only $39 and include a commemorative wine glass tastings and food Several wineries will also feature live music and demonstrations related to winemaking As always DDrsquos (Designated Drivers) attend for free and may partake in all food offerings as well as complimentary soft drinks and water along the way

The growing list of wineries west of Jacksonville known collectively as AVOVAmdashApplegate Valley Oregon Vintners Associationmdashholds fall and spring barrel tours offering a fun and relaxed chance to taste wines directly from the barrel before they are bottled and purchased by the public The wines are carefully chosen by each winery as are each of the delectable homemade foods paired with the wines The self-guided and self-paced tour kicks-off at 1100am and runs until 500pm

This year Serra Vineyards will be a popular tour stop for those wishing to get a first look at the newest tasting room to open in the valley Serra is located at 222 Missouri Flat Road near other popular wineries including Troon Vineyard Schmidt Family Vineyards Rossellarsquos and Wooldridge Creek Completed this April the 3500 square foot building was designed to incorporate all aspects of the tasting experience The eco-friendly building offers some of the most incredible views of the Applegate Valley from inside the tasting room and from a magnum-sized party deck Serra Vineyards was the former home of Applegate Red

owned and farmed by legendary winemaker Frank Ferreira who passed away in 2009 Today Ferreirarsquos original tasting room which resembles more of a snack-shack remains on the property in the shadow of the new tasting room Going forward it will be used as an ancillary tasting location and marketplace

Today Jacksonville residents Scott and Krissa Fernandes own the 75-acre property which includes the vineyard winery and tasting room Since purchasing the vineyard which Ferreira had planted to Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet-Franc and Merlot Scott and Krissa have planted 15 new acres to Tempranillo and Malbec

The tasting room is managed by Liz Wan who doubles as Serrarsquos marketing director Wan whorsquos a major marketing force behind the Southern Oregon wine region has worked on the World of Wine event in Jacksonville and the Rogue Valley Wine and Food event and others

Scott Fernandes notes ldquoThe new facility was designed and conceptualized by our family to reduce the potential negative environmental impact of a winery building on the landscape We maximized efficiency of Green Building applications everywhere we couldrdquo

The Jacksonville Oregon Wineries Association (JOWA) is a collection of six wineries each offering a unique wine tasting experience located within one mile of Jacksonville The Association was formed during the development of a collective brochure being prepared by Porscha Schiller of South Stage Cellars ldquoWe didnrsquot just want to have a piece of paper with a list of participating wineriesrdquo said Dan Marca the Associationrsquos President ldquoso we decided to gather as a group and determine how we could all work together to draw attention to the Jacksonville wineriesrdquo Having only six members has its advantages and after only one meeting JOWA was born

The Unfettered Critic by Paula Block Erdmann amp Terry Erdmann

If we had to choose a favorite from all of Broadwayrsquos tuneful offerings My Fair Lady would likely lead

the pack So how ldquoloverlyrdquo for us that the Oregon Shakespeare Festival currently is presenting an exceptional interpretation of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewersquos 1956 classic

You know the story Eliza Doolittle good-hearted ldquosquashed cabbage leafrdquo of a flower girl encounters Henry Higgins distinguished overbearing snob of a linguistics professor Higgins observes that Elizarsquos Cockney accent keeps her eternally bound to the lower rungs of society ldquoLook at her a prisrsquoner of the guttersrdquo he states ldquocondemned by every syllable she uttersrdquo When Higgins boasts to his friend Colonel Pickering that by teaching the girl proper English he could get her a job as a shop assistant clever Eliza takes note The next morning she shows up at Higginsrsquo doorstep offering to pay for speech lessons Recalling the professorrsquos claim that he could ldquopass her off as a duchess at an Embassy ballrdquo Pickering proposes a wager and Higgins bites As Eliza endures weeks of insults (tempered by chocolates) she realizes that she isnrsquot the ignorant guttersnipe Higgins thinks she ismdashand therein lies the funhellip

And the songs almost all timeless standards Excelling as Eliza lively actress Rachael Warren makes us want to join in as she sings ldquoThe Rain In Spainrdquo and ldquoI Could Have Danced All Nightrdquo We actually feel for Higgins as actor Jonathan Haugen quietly laments ldquoIrsquove Grown Accustomed To Her Facerdquo The leads are so good that we willingly relinquish memories of incandescent performers like Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews (or Audrey Hepburn) in the roles Warren lifts Eliza into a place all her own while Haugen smartly sings his way through the tunes rather than ldquotalkrdquo the songs as Harrison once did

Wersquove long thought that My Fair Lady contains two unnecessary characters Freddie the misguided chap who pines

for Eliza isnrsquot an integral part of the main story He exists to demonstrate Elizarsquos acceptance into a more elevated level of society On the other end of the scale Alfred Elizarsquos nersquoer-do-well father shows the depths shersquos emerged from They have nice songs though and director Amanda Dehnert found wonderfully innovative ways to use them As Freddie actor Ken Robinson nearly steals the show with his hilarious performance of the once-staid ballad ldquoThe Street Where You Liverdquo which infers that his romantic attachment may literally be for the streetmdash

cobblestones gravel and all And we applaud OSF staple Anthony Heald as Alfred who demonstrates astounding energy during an extended dance routine in ldquoGet Me To the Church On Timerdquo As Heald and an ensemble of dancers stomp about the stage the number resembles a play-within-the-play brimming with excitement

Dehnertrsquos best decision may be in her staging Most of the castmdashand the

musiciansmdashremain on stage at all times so that wardrobe location and scene changes happen via a fluid choreography that is fully visiblehellipyet largely unnoticeable ldquoLife isnrsquot neat and theatre isnrsquot cleanrdquo Dehnert asserts ldquoYou should see where the lights hang see the clothes being put on and taken off see how people transformrdquo

My Fair Lady was based on George Bernard Shawrsquos play Pygmalion first produced in l916 Shaw in turn based his story on a verse from the Greek poet Ovidrsquos Metamorphoses ldquoPygmalion critical of faults which nature planted in female hearts lived unmarried With skill he carved a statue out of ivory and gave it exquisite beauty She was so beautiful he fell in love with his creationrdquo

Two thousand years later in Ashland so will you

Paula and Terry each have long impressive-sounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios Theyrsquore now happily relaxed into Jacksonville

Sometimes life and theatre is more than Fair

How do we teach children

the value of eating healthy foods As a parent this is a difficult questionmdashdo we force green vegetables at dinner as a matter of course or do we find creative ways to integrate healthy foods into our daily routines Making nutrition a fun and interesting activity for children isnrsquot easy but that is what ldquoRogue Valley Farm to Schoolrdquo aims to do ldquoEducate children about our food system through hands-on farm and garden programs and by increasing local foods in school mealsrdquo

In addition to the Farm to School program we are thrilled to be expanding the Childrenrsquos Heritage Fair to three days this year On May 30-31 Hanley Farm will be hosting school groups from all over the Rogue Valley to learn about local history farming and to participate

Up Close and Personal with Local Photographer Kathleen Hoevet

Fifth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish

Sometimes a chance encounter captures ones attention and sets us on a new and unexpected path

Such was the case for Kathy Hoevet who got her start as a photographer only a few years ago upon discovering the online community and image hosting site Flickr After browsing the site she was thoroughly impressed with the photos taken by a diverse group of talented artists Kathy was inspired to get a camera and set-out on a journey to explore her surroundings through the cameras lens With encouragement from her daughter to turn her hobby into a business Kathy sought-out Hannah West who helped set up her first showing at the Good Bean Coffee Shopmdashand she hasnrsquot looked back since

Befriending a local photo club and other photographers with the same camera she began to ask questions to gain better knowledge in the art of being a photographer ldquoNever shoot in auto moderdquo was one of the first bits of advice received To this day Kathy adheres to manual settings allowing her full control (of the camera at least) to create an image that reflects her vision of what lies before her She did however confess to a distrust of her own eyesrsquo ability to properly focus and therefore tends to rely on auto focus Other lessons

learned include the importance of composition leading lines the effect of light value space etchellip much the same as a painter learns the art of painting

To gain a better understanding of Photoshop tools Kathy attended study courses lead by well-known photographer Sean Bagshaw She credits him for teaching her a favorite technique which is to take a dynamic range of images and blend them together to create a much stronger final shot

While attending outdoor workshops lead by Sean David Cobb and Zach Schneph Kathy found herself chasing the early morning light in the Palouse and Olympic Mountains These trips taught her the importance of getting out

early and how quickly light changes a scene Shadows came and went so fast that she was constantly picking up her tripod and moving from spot to spot to capture the light and the effect it had on the scene before her lens Kathy couldnrsquot be happier with the great insight and

constructive criticism that was bestowed upon her Now shersquos eager to attend more workshops with these fine photographers some of whom are now friends

Kathyrsquos work is on display at the Black Oak Medical

Center Rogue Regency Inn Peoplersquos Bank on Barnett and Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville She also creates greeting cards with lots of wine and vineyard themes celebrating Southern Oregon wine country In Jrsquoville yoursquoll find them at Bella Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at

Rogue Regency Inn in Medford (More locations are coming soon)

Kathy has recently received requests to do product shots which she has found to be an enjoyable experience and a good challenge However the bulk of her work will continue to be

landscape and outdoor-based which she finds most peaceful and calming

Kathy will be showing her beautiful photographs in the Naversen Room of the Jacksonville Library through July 17 Please call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Ph (541) 899-6976Fax (541) 899-6981

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor with a straight spine (leaning against a wall can help) Slow down your breathing and close your eyes

Man Suhaavee Mudra Kriya the mudra (hand gesture) which pleases the mind

bull Create a triangle with the tips of the middle fingers together and the tips of the thumbs together with the pinkie and ring fingers curled into the palm

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

The Jacksonville Oregon Wineries Association (JOWA) is a collection of six wineries each offering a unique wine tasting experience located within one mile of Jacksonville The Association was formed during the development of a collective brochure being prepared by Porscha Schiller of South Stage Cellars ldquoWe didnrsquot just want to have a piece of paper with a list of participating wineriesrdquo said Dan Marca the Associationrsquos President ldquoso we decided to gather as a group and determine how we could all work together to draw attention to the Jacksonville wineriesrdquo Having only six members has its advantages and after only one meeting JOWA was born

The Unfettered Critic by Paula Block Erdmann amp Terry Erdmann

If we had to choose a favorite from all of Broadwayrsquos tuneful offerings My Fair Lady would likely lead

the pack So how ldquoloverlyrdquo for us that the Oregon Shakespeare Festival currently is presenting an exceptional interpretation of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewersquos 1956 classic

You know the story Eliza Doolittle good-hearted ldquosquashed cabbage leafrdquo of a flower girl encounters Henry Higgins distinguished overbearing snob of a linguistics professor Higgins observes that Elizarsquos Cockney accent keeps her eternally bound to the lower rungs of society ldquoLook at her a prisrsquoner of the guttersrdquo he states ldquocondemned by every syllable she uttersrdquo When Higgins boasts to his friend Colonel Pickering that by teaching the girl proper English he could get her a job as a shop assistant clever Eliza takes note The next morning she shows up at Higginsrsquo doorstep offering to pay for speech lessons Recalling the professorrsquos claim that he could ldquopass her off as a duchess at an Embassy ballrdquo Pickering proposes a wager and Higgins bites As Eliza endures weeks of insults (tempered by chocolates) she realizes that she isnrsquot the ignorant guttersnipe Higgins thinks she ismdashand therein lies the funhellip

And the songs almost all timeless standards Excelling as Eliza lively actress Rachael Warren makes us want to join in as she sings ldquoThe Rain In Spainrdquo and ldquoI Could Have Danced All Nightrdquo We actually feel for Higgins as actor Jonathan Haugen quietly laments ldquoIrsquove Grown Accustomed To Her Facerdquo The leads are so good that we willingly relinquish memories of incandescent performers like Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews (or Audrey Hepburn) in the roles Warren lifts Eliza into a place all her own while Haugen smartly sings his way through the tunes rather than ldquotalkrdquo the songs as Harrison once did

Wersquove long thought that My Fair Lady contains two unnecessary characters Freddie the misguided chap who pines

for Eliza isnrsquot an integral part of the main story He exists to demonstrate Elizarsquos acceptance into a more elevated level of society On the other end of the scale Alfred Elizarsquos nersquoer-do-well father shows the depths shersquos emerged from They have nice songs though and director Amanda Dehnert found wonderfully innovative ways to use them As Freddie actor Ken Robinson nearly steals the show with his hilarious performance of the once-staid ballad ldquoThe Street Where You Liverdquo which infers that his romantic attachment may literally be for the streetmdash

cobblestones gravel and all And we applaud OSF staple Anthony Heald as Alfred who demonstrates astounding energy during an extended dance routine in ldquoGet Me To the Church On Timerdquo As Heald and an ensemble of dancers stomp about the stage the number resembles a play-within-the-play brimming with excitement

Dehnertrsquos best decision may be in her staging Most of the castmdashand the

musiciansmdashremain on stage at all times so that wardrobe location and scene changes happen via a fluid choreography that is fully visiblehellipyet largely unnoticeable ldquoLife isnrsquot neat and theatre isnrsquot cleanrdquo Dehnert asserts ldquoYou should see where the lights hang see the clothes being put on and taken off see how people transformrdquo

My Fair Lady was based on George Bernard Shawrsquos play Pygmalion first produced in l916 Shaw in turn based his story on a verse from the Greek poet Ovidrsquos Metamorphoses ldquoPygmalion critical of faults which nature planted in female hearts lived unmarried With skill he carved a statue out of ivory and gave it exquisite beauty She was so beautiful he fell in love with his creationrdquo

Two thousand years later in Ashland so will you

Paula and Terry each have long impressive-sounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios Theyrsquore now happily relaxed into Jacksonville

Sometimes life and theatre is more than Fair

How do we teach children

the value of eating healthy foods As a parent this is a difficult questionmdashdo we force green vegetables at dinner as a matter of course or do we find creative ways to integrate healthy foods into our daily routines Making nutrition a fun and interesting activity for children isnrsquot easy but that is what ldquoRogue Valley Farm to Schoolrdquo aims to do ldquoEducate children about our food system through hands-on farm and garden programs and by increasing local foods in school mealsrdquo

Historic Hanley Farm is excited to announce its new partnership with Rogue Valley Farm to School Over the summer 2 one-week-long campsmdashJuly 8-12 for 7-10 year olds and August 5-9 for 5-7 year oldsmdashwill be hosted at Hanley with Rogue Valley Farm to School where children will learn about planting and tending crops caring for farm animals harvesting and preparing food as well as participate in arts and crafts related to farming In the fall Farm to School will be hosting regular ldquoHarvest Mealrdquo field trips to Hanley where children will participate in harvesting and preparing their own farm-fresh lunches The opportunity to have children learning the value of nutrition and the excitement of harvesting and preparing their own food is a wonderful development for Hanley Farm and one we are all looking forward to bringing to the community Registration for camps can be done online at wwwrvfarm2schoolorg

In addition to the Farm to School program we are thrilled to be expanding the Childrenrsquos Heritage Fair to three days this year On May 30-31 Hanley Farm will be hosting school groups from all over the Rogue Valley to learn about local history farming and to participate

in games and crafts So far there are over 700 children registered to attend during the two days of school field trips On Saturday June 1st the public is welcome to attend the Fair where children of all ages can connect with history through hands-on activities The public day of the Fair will run from 1000am-400pm

And of course donrsquot forget the Heritage Plant Sale happening at Hanley on Motherrsquos Day weekend May 11-12 The sale will open at 1000am and run to 300pm on Saturday and on Sunday there will be a Tea amp Crepes luncheon especially for mom with freshly-baked sweets from Coquette bakery also beginning at 1000am Come by for all of your spring plant needs as well as an extra-special way to say ldquothank yourdquo to mom

Up Close and Personal with Local Photographer Kathleen Hoevet

Fifth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish

Sometimes a chance encounter captures ones attention and sets us on a new and unexpected path

Such was the case for Kathy Hoevet who got her start as a photographer only a few years ago upon discovering the online community and image hosting site Flickr After browsing the site she was thoroughly impressed with the photos taken by a diverse group of talented artists Kathy was inspired to get a camera and set-out on a journey to explore her surroundings through the cameras lens With encouragement from her daughter to turn her hobby into a business Kathy sought-out Hannah West who helped set up her first showing at the Good Bean Coffee Shopmdashand she hasnrsquot looked back since

Befriending a local photo club and other photographers with the same camera she began to ask questions to gain better knowledge in the art of being a photographer ldquoNever shoot in auto moderdquo was one of the first bits of advice received To this day Kathy adheres to manual settings allowing her full control (of the camera at least) to create an image that reflects her vision of what lies before her She did however confess to a distrust of her own eyesrsquo ability to properly focus and therefore tends to rely on auto focus Other lessons

learned include the importance of composition leading lines the effect of light value space etchellip much the same as a painter learns the art of painting

To gain a better understanding of Photoshop tools Kathy attended study courses lead by well-known photographer Sean Bagshaw She credits him for teaching her a favorite technique which is to take a dynamic range of images and blend them together to create a much stronger final shot

While attending outdoor workshops lead by Sean David Cobb and Zach Schneph Kathy found herself chasing the early morning light in the Palouse and Olympic Mountains These trips taught her the importance of getting out

early and how quickly light changes a scene Shadows came and went so fast that she was constantly picking up her tripod and moving from spot to spot to capture the light and the effect it had on the scene before her lens Kathy couldnrsquot be happier with the great insight and

constructive criticism that was bestowed upon her Now shersquos eager to attend more workshops with these fine photographers some of whom are now friends

Kathyrsquos work is on display at the Black Oak Medical

Center Rogue Regency Inn Peoplersquos Bank on Barnett and Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville She also creates greeting cards with lots of wine and vineyard themes celebrating Southern Oregon wine country In Jrsquoville yoursquoll find them at Bella Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at

Rogue Regency Inn in Medford (More locations are coming soon)

Kathy has recently received requests to do product shots which she has found to be an enjoyable experience and a good challenge However the bulk of her work will continue to be

landscape and outdoor-based which she finds most peaceful and calming

Kathy will be showing her beautiful photographs in the Naversen Room of the Jacksonville Library through July 17 Please call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Ph (541) 899-6976Fax (541) 899-6981

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor with a straight spine (leaning against a wall can help) Slow down your breathing and close your eyes

Man Suhaavee Mudra Kriya the mudra (hand gesture) which pleases the mind

bull Create a triangle with the tips of the middle fingers together and the tips of the thumbs together with the pinkie and ring fingers curled into the palm

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

The Jacksonville Oregon Wineries Association (JOWA) is a collection of six wineries each offering a unique wine tasting experience located within one mile of Jacksonville The Association was formed during the development of a collective brochure being prepared by Porscha Schiller of South Stage Cellars ldquoWe didnrsquot just want to have a piece of paper with a list of participating wineriesrdquo said Dan Marca the Associationrsquos President ldquoso we decided to gather as a group and determine how we could all work together to draw attention to the Jacksonville wineriesrdquo Having only six members has its advantages and after only one meeting JOWA was born

Founding JOWA members include DANCIN Vineyards Daisy Creek Vineyard Quady North South Stage Cellars Umpqua Valley Wine Tasting Room and Caprice Vineyards JOWArsquos affairs will be managed by its President Dan Marca of DANCIN Vineyards VP Jim Davidian of Caprice Vineyards and SecretaryTreasurer Dawn Roelke of Quady North

The Unfettered Critic by Paula Block Erdmann amp Terry Erdmann

If we had to choose a favorite from all of Broadwayrsquos tuneful offerings My Fair Lady would likely lead

the pack So how ldquoloverlyrdquo for us that the Oregon Shakespeare Festival currently is presenting an exceptional interpretation of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewersquos 1956 classic

You know the story Eliza Doolittle good-hearted ldquosquashed cabbage leafrdquo of a flower girl encounters Henry Higgins distinguished overbearing snob of a linguistics professor Higgins observes that Elizarsquos Cockney accent keeps her eternally bound to the lower rungs of society ldquoLook at her a prisrsquoner of the guttersrdquo he states ldquocondemned by every syllable she uttersrdquo When Higgins boasts to his friend Colonel Pickering that by teaching the girl proper English he could get her a job as a shop assistant clever Eliza takes note The next morning she shows up at Higginsrsquo doorstep offering to pay for speech lessons Recalling the professorrsquos claim that he could ldquopass her off as a duchess at an Embassy ballrdquo Pickering proposes a wager and Higgins bites As Eliza endures weeks of insults (tempered by chocolates) she realizes that she isnrsquot the ignorant guttersnipe Higgins thinks she ismdashand therein lies the funhellip

And the songs almost all timeless standards Excelling as Eliza lively actress Rachael Warren makes us want to join in as she sings ldquoThe Rain In Spainrdquo and ldquoI Could Have Danced All Nightrdquo We actually feel for Higgins as actor Jonathan Haugen quietly laments ldquoIrsquove Grown Accustomed To Her Facerdquo The leads are so good that we willingly relinquish memories of incandescent performers like Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews (or Audrey Hepburn) in the roles Warren lifts Eliza into a place all her own while Haugen smartly sings his way through the tunes rather than ldquotalkrdquo the songs as Harrison once did

Wersquove long thought that My Fair Lady contains two unnecessary characters Freddie the misguided chap who pines

for Eliza isnrsquot an integral part of the main story He exists to demonstrate Elizarsquos acceptance into a more elevated level of society On the other end of the scale Alfred Elizarsquos nersquoer-do-well father shows the depths shersquos emerged from They have nice songs though and director Amanda Dehnert found wonderfully innovative ways to use them As Freddie actor Ken Robinson nearly steals the show with his hilarious performance of the once-staid ballad ldquoThe Street Where You Liverdquo which infers that his romantic attachment may literally be for the streetmdash

cobblestones gravel and all And we applaud OSF staple Anthony Heald as Alfred who demonstrates astounding energy during an extended dance routine in ldquoGet Me To the Church On Timerdquo As Heald and an ensemble of dancers stomp about the stage the number resembles a play-within-the-play brimming with excitement

Dehnertrsquos best decision may be in her staging Most of the castmdashand the

musiciansmdashremain on stage at all times so that wardrobe location and scene changes happen via a fluid choreography that is fully visiblehellipyet largely unnoticeable ldquoLife isnrsquot neat and theatre isnrsquot cleanrdquo Dehnert asserts ldquoYou should see where the lights hang see the clothes being put on and taken off see how people transformrdquo

My Fair Lady was based on George Bernard Shawrsquos play Pygmalion first produced in l916 Shaw in turn based his story on a verse from the Greek poet Ovidrsquos Metamorphoses ldquoPygmalion critical of faults which nature planted in female hearts lived unmarried With skill he carved a statue out of ivory and gave it exquisite beauty She was so beautiful he fell in love with his creationrdquo

Two thousand years later in Ashland so will you

Paula and Terry each have long impressive-sounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios Theyrsquore now happily relaxed into Jacksonville

Sometimes life and theatre is more than Fair

How do we teach children

the value of eating healthy foods As a parent this is a difficult questionmdashdo we force green vegetables at dinner as a matter of course or do we find creative ways to integrate healthy foods into our daily routines Making nutrition a fun and interesting activity for children isnrsquot easy but that is what ldquoRogue Valley Farm to Schoolrdquo aims to do ldquoEducate children about our food system through hands-on farm and garden programs and by increasing local foods in school mealsrdquo

Historic Hanley Farm is excited to announce its new partnership with Rogue Valley Farm to School Over the summer 2 one-week-long campsmdashJuly 8-12 for 7-10 year olds and August 5-9 for 5-7 year oldsmdashwill be hosted at Hanley with Rogue Valley Farm to School where children will learn about planting and tending crops caring for farm animals harvesting and preparing food as well as participate in arts and crafts related to farming In the fall Farm to School will be hosting regular ldquoHarvest Mealrdquo field trips to Hanley where children will participate in harvesting and preparing their own farm-fresh lunches The opportunity to have children learning the value of nutrition and the excitement of harvesting and preparing their own food is a wonderful development for Hanley Farm and one we are all looking forward to bringing to the community Registration for camps can be done online at wwwrvfarm2schoolorg

In addition to the Farm to School program we are thrilled to be expanding the Childrenrsquos Heritage Fair to three days this year On May 30-31 Hanley Farm will be hosting school groups from all over the Rogue Valley to learn about local history farming and to participate

in games and crafts So far there are over 700 children registered to attend during the two days of school field trips On Saturday June 1st the public is welcome to attend the Fair where children of all ages can connect with history through hands-on activities The public day of the Fair will run from 1000am-400pm

And of course donrsquot forget the Heritage Plant Sale happening at Hanley on Motherrsquos Day weekend May 11-12 The sale will open at 1000am and run to 300pm on Saturday and on Sunday there will be a Tea amp Crepes luncheon especially for mom with freshly-baked sweets from Coquette bakery also beginning at 1000am Come by for all of your spring plant needs as well as an extra-special way to say ldquothank yourdquo to mom

Up Close and Personal with Local Photographer Kathleen Hoevet

Fifth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish

Sometimes a chance encounter captures ones attention and sets us on a new and unexpected path

Such was the case for Kathy Hoevet who got her start as a photographer only a few years ago upon discovering the online community and image hosting site Flickr After browsing the site she was thoroughly impressed with the photos taken by a diverse group of talented artists Kathy was inspired to get a camera and set-out on a journey to explore her surroundings through the cameras lens With encouragement from her daughter to turn her hobby into a business Kathy sought-out Hannah West who helped set up her first showing at the Good Bean Coffee Shopmdashand she hasnrsquot looked back since

Befriending a local photo club and other photographers with the same camera she began to ask questions to gain better knowledge in the art of being a photographer ldquoNever shoot in auto moderdquo was one of the first bits of advice received To this day Kathy adheres to manual settings allowing her full control (of the camera at least) to create an image that reflects her vision of what lies before her She did however confess to a distrust of her own eyesrsquo ability to properly focus and therefore tends to rely on auto focus Other lessons

learned include the importance of composition leading lines the effect of light value space etchellip much the same as a painter learns the art of painting

To gain a better understanding of Photoshop tools Kathy attended study courses lead by well-known photographer Sean Bagshaw She credits him for teaching her a favorite technique which is to take a dynamic range of images and blend them together to create a much stronger final shot

While attending outdoor workshops lead by Sean David Cobb and Zach Schneph Kathy found herself chasing the early morning light in the Palouse and Olympic Mountains These trips taught her the importance of getting out

early and how quickly light changes a scene Shadows came and went so fast that she was constantly picking up her tripod and moving from spot to spot to capture the light and the effect it had on the scene before her lens Kathy couldnrsquot be happier with the great insight and

constructive criticism that was bestowed upon her Now shersquos eager to attend more workshops with these fine photographers some of whom are now friends

Kathyrsquos work is on display at the Black Oak Medical

Center Rogue Regency Inn Peoplersquos Bank on Barnett and Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville She also creates greeting cards with lots of wine and vineyard themes celebrating Southern Oregon wine country In Jrsquoville yoursquoll find them at Bella Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at

Rogue Regency Inn in Medford (More locations are coming soon)

Kathy has recently received requests to do product shots which she has found to be an enjoyable experience and a good challenge However the bulk of her work will continue to be

landscape and outdoor-based which she finds most peaceful and calming

Kathy will be showing her beautiful photographs in the Naversen Room of the Jacksonville Library through July 17 Please call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Rails to Trails Project Possible

Nowadays small businesses need all of the free help they can get and todayrsquos social media and

online search options can be that help Existing customers play an important role in todayrsquos business environment with their ability to post comments ratings and reviews on a variety of internet sites and social media platforms This feedback can help local businesses in attracting new customers

Todayrsquos travelers shoppers and diners seek-out more information on where to stay shop and dine than ever before Whether on a mobile device or home computer they use TripAdvisor YELP and Google Maps to locate and get reviews on businesses and services before deciding where to spend their money They also seek-out input from friends and family through Facebook Pinterest LinkedIn and Twitter

Business and Community WebsitesmdashMany websites allow comments to be posted about the business as a whole or on specific products Your input helps in two ways First it validates the website for Google search purposes by proving that the business has customers and that those customers are interacting with the website Second it helps other users of the website by encouraging them to support the same businesses

BlogsmdashComment on a businessrsquo blog or any blog that discusses one of your favorite businesses

FacebookmdashldquoLikerdquo your favorite businesses Like comment on and share their posts so that your friends will see them too Check-in at the business when you visit Your recommendation carries a

lot of weight in a purchase decision with your friends

TripAdvisor amp YELPmdashRate and share reviews of businesses you have used If you are new to this take some time to read the other reviews and get a feel for the rating system Donrsquot post these reviews while at the business and using the free WiFi as it will appear to be a fake review And donrsquot be surprised if businesses respond to your reviews TripAdvisor encourages businesses to interact with their customers through reviews

User accounts are required for these tools YELP reviews may be filtered out until you are an established user Savvy users will know how to find them by removing the filter

Having significant numbers of and high quality reviews helps businesses increase their overall online presence Google the top search engine aggregates reviews from the majority of review sites and factors that into its search algorithm So a higher online presence gets a business ranked higher in a Google search

The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce thanks you for supporting local businesses

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

The Unfettered Critic by Paula Block Erdmann amp Terry Erdmann

If we had to choose a favorite from all of Broadwayrsquos tuneful offerings My Fair Lady would likely lead

the pack So how ldquoloverlyrdquo for us that the Oregon Shakespeare Festival currently is presenting an exceptional interpretation of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewersquos 1956 classic

You know the story Eliza Doolittle good-hearted ldquosquashed cabbage leafrdquo of a flower girl encounters Henry Higgins distinguished overbearing snob of a linguistics professor Higgins observes that Elizarsquos Cockney accent keeps her eternally bound to the lower rungs of society ldquoLook at her a prisrsquoner of the guttersrdquo he states ldquocondemned by every syllable she uttersrdquo When Higgins boasts to his friend Colonel Pickering that by teaching the girl proper English he could get her a job as a shop assistant clever Eliza takes note The next morning she shows up at Higginsrsquo doorstep offering to pay for speech lessons Recalling the professorrsquos claim that he could ldquopass her off as a duchess at an Embassy ballrdquo Pickering proposes a wager and Higgins bites As Eliza endures weeks of insults (tempered by chocolates) she realizes that she isnrsquot the ignorant guttersnipe Higgins thinks she ismdashand therein lies the funhellip

And the songs almost all timeless standards Excelling as Eliza lively actress Rachael Warren makes us want to join in as she sings ldquoThe Rain In Spainrdquo and ldquoI Could Have Danced All Nightrdquo We actually feel for Higgins as actor Jonathan Haugen quietly laments ldquoIrsquove Grown Accustomed To Her Facerdquo The leads are so good that we willingly relinquish memories of incandescent performers like Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews (or Audrey Hepburn) in the roles Warren lifts Eliza into a place all her own while Haugen smartly sings his way through the tunes rather than ldquotalkrdquo the songs as Harrison once did

Wersquove long thought that My Fair Lady contains two unnecessary characters Freddie the misguided chap who pines

for Eliza isnrsquot an integral part of the main story He exists to demonstrate Elizarsquos acceptance into a more elevated level of society On the other end of the scale Alfred Elizarsquos nersquoer-do-well father shows the depths shersquos emerged from They have nice songs though and director Amanda Dehnert found wonderfully innovative ways to use them As Freddie actor Ken Robinson nearly steals the show with his hilarious performance of the once-staid ballad ldquoThe Street Where You Liverdquo which infers that his romantic attachment may literally be for the streetmdash

cobblestones gravel and all And we applaud OSF staple Anthony Heald as Alfred who demonstrates astounding energy during an extended dance routine in ldquoGet Me To the Church On Timerdquo As Heald and an ensemble of dancers stomp about the stage the number resembles a play-within-the-play brimming with excitement

Dehnertrsquos best decision may be in her staging Most of the castmdashand the

musiciansmdashremain on stage at all times so that wardrobe location and scene changes happen via a fluid choreography that is fully visiblehellipyet largely unnoticeable ldquoLife isnrsquot neat and theatre isnrsquot cleanrdquo Dehnert asserts ldquoYou should see where the lights hang see the clothes being put on and taken off see how people transformrdquo

My Fair Lady was based on George Bernard Shawrsquos play Pygmalion first produced in l916 Shaw in turn based his story on a verse from the Greek poet Ovidrsquos Metamorphoses ldquoPygmalion critical of faults which nature planted in female hearts lived unmarried With skill he carved a statue out of ivory and gave it exquisite beauty She was so beautiful he fell in love with his creationrdquo

Two thousand years later in Ashland so will you

Paula and Terry each have long impressive-sounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios Theyrsquore now happily relaxed into Jacksonville

Sometimes life and theatre is more than Fair

How do we teach children

the value of eating healthy foods As a parent this is a difficult questionmdashdo we force green vegetables at dinner as a matter of course or do we find creative ways to integrate healthy foods into our daily routines Making nutrition a fun and interesting activity for children isnrsquot easy but that is what ldquoRogue Valley Farm to Schoolrdquo aims to do ldquoEducate children about our food system through hands-on farm and garden programs and by increasing local foods in school mealsrdquo

In addition to the Farm to School program we are thrilled to be expanding the Childrenrsquos Heritage Fair to three days this year On May 30-31 Hanley Farm will be hosting school groups from all over the Rogue Valley to learn about local history farming and to participate

Up Close and Personal with Local Photographer Kathleen Hoevet

Fifth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish

Sometimes a chance encounter captures ones attention and sets us on a new and unexpected path

Such was the case for Kathy Hoevet who got her start as a photographer only a few years ago upon discovering the online community and image hosting site Flickr After browsing the site she was thoroughly impressed with the photos taken by a diverse group of talented artists Kathy was inspired to get a camera and set-out on a journey to explore her surroundings through the cameras lens With encouragement from her daughter to turn her hobby into a business Kathy sought-out Hannah West who helped set up her first showing at the Good Bean Coffee Shopmdashand she hasnrsquot looked back since

Befriending a local photo club and other photographers with the same camera she began to ask questions to gain better knowledge in the art of being a photographer ldquoNever shoot in auto moderdquo was one of the first bits of advice received To this day Kathy adheres to manual settings allowing her full control (of the camera at least) to create an image that reflects her vision of what lies before her She did however confess to a distrust of her own eyesrsquo ability to properly focus and therefore tends to rely on auto focus Other lessons

learned include the importance of composition leading lines the effect of light value space etchellip much the same as a painter learns the art of painting

To gain a better understanding of Photoshop tools Kathy attended study courses lead by well-known photographer Sean Bagshaw She credits him for teaching her a favorite technique which is to take a dynamic range of images and blend them together to create a much stronger final shot

While attending outdoor workshops lead by Sean David Cobb and Zach Schneph Kathy found herself chasing the early morning light in the Palouse and Olympic Mountains These trips taught her the importance of getting out

early and how quickly light changes a scene Shadows came and went so fast that she was constantly picking up her tripod and moving from spot to spot to capture the light and the effect it had on the scene before her lens Kathy couldnrsquot be happier with the great insight and

constructive criticism that was bestowed upon her Now shersquos eager to attend more workshops with these fine photographers some of whom are now friends

Kathyrsquos work is on display at the Black Oak Medical

Center Rogue Regency Inn Peoplersquos Bank on Barnett and Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville She also creates greeting cards with lots of wine and vineyard themes celebrating Southern Oregon wine country In Jrsquoville yoursquoll find them at Bella Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at

Rogue Regency Inn in Medford (More locations are coming soon)

Kathy has recently received requests to do product shots which she has found to be an enjoyable experience and a good challenge However the bulk of her work will continue to be

landscape and outdoor-based which she finds most peaceful and calming

Kathy will be showing her beautiful photographs in the Naversen Room of the Jacksonville Library through July 17 Please call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

It screens Friday night May 17 at 700pm at Old City Hall

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

The Unfettered Critic by Paula Block Erdmann amp Terry Erdmann

If we had to choose a favorite from all of Broadwayrsquos tuneful offerings My Fair Lady would likely lead

the pack So how ldquoloverlyrdquo for us that the Oregon Shakespeare Festival currently is presenting an exceptional interpretation of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewersquos 1956 classic

You know the story Eliza Doolittle good-hearted ldquosquashed cabbage leafrdquo of a flower girl encounters Henry Higgins distinguished overbearing snob of a linguistics professor Higgins observes that Elizarsquos Cockney accent keeps her eternally bound to the lower rungs of society ldquoLook at her a prisrsquoner of the guttersrdquo he states ldquocondemned by every syllable she uttersrdquo When Higgins boasts to his friend Colonel Pickering that by teaching the girl proper English he could get her a job as a shop assistant clever Eliza takes note The next morning she shows up at Higginsrsquo doorstep offering to pay for speech lessons Recalling the professorrsquos claim that he could ldquopass her off as a duchess at an Embassy ballrdquo Pickering proposes a wager and Higgins bites As Eliza endures weeks of insults (tempered by chocolates) she realizes that she isnrsquot the ignorant guttersnipe Higgins thinks she ismdashand therein lies the funhellip

And the songs almost all timeless standards Excelling as Eliza lively actress Rachael Warren makes us want to join in as she sings ldquoThe Rain In Spainrdquo and ldquoI Could Have Danced All Nightrdquo We actually feel for Higgins as actor Jonathan Haugen quietly laments ldquoIrsquove Grown Accustomed To Her Facerdquo The leads are so good that we willingly relinquish memories of incandescent performers like Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews (or Audrey Hepburn) in the roles Warren lifts Eliza into a place all her own while Haugen smartly sings his way through the tunes rather than ldquotalkrdquo the songs as Harrison once did

Wersquove long thought that My Fair Lady contains two unnecessary characters Freddie the misguided chap who pines

for Eliza isnrsquot an integral part of the main story He exists to demonstrate Elizarsquos acceptance into a more elevated level of society On the other end of the scale Alfred Elizarsquos nersquoer-do-well father shows the depths shersquos emerged from They have nice songs though and director Amanda Dehnert found wonderfully innovative ways to use them As Freddie actor Ken Robinson nearly steals the show with his hilarious performance of the once-staid ballad ldquoThe Street Where You Liverdquo which infers that his romantic attachment may literally be for the streetmdash

cobblestones gravel and all And we applaud OSF staple Anthony Heald as Alfred who demonstrates astounding energy during an extended dance routine in ldquoGet Me To the Church On Timerdquo As Heald and an ensemble of dancers stomp about the stage the number resembles a play-within-the-play brimming with excitement

Dehnertrsquos best decision may be in her staging Most of the castmdashand the

musiciansmdashremain on stage at all times so that wardrobe location and scene changes happen via a fluid choreography that is fully visiblehellipyet largely unnoticeable ldquoLife isnrsquot neat and theatre isnrsquot cleanrdquo Dehnert asserts ldquoYou should see where the lights hang see the clothes being put on and taken off see how people transformrdquo

My Fair Lady was based on George Bernard Shawrsquos play Pygmalion first produced in l916 Shaw in turn based his story on a verse from the Greek poet Ovidrsquos Metamorphoses ldquoPygmalion critical of faults which nature planted in female hearts lived unmarried With skill he carved a statue out of ivory and gave it exquisite beauty She was so beautiful he fell in love with his creationrdquo

Two thousand years later in Ashland so will you

Paula and Terry each have long impressive-sounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios Theyrsquore now happily relaxed into Jacksonville

Sometimes life and theatre is more than Fair

How do we teach children

the value of eating healthy foods As a parent this is a difficult questionmdashdo we force green vegetables at dinner as a matter of course or do we find creative ways to integrate healthy foods into our daily routines Making nutrition a fun and interesting activity for children isnrsquot easy but that is what ldquoRogue Valley Farm to Schoolrdquo aims to do ldquoEducate children about our food system through hands-on farm and garden programs and by increasing local foods in school mealsrdquo

Historic Hanley Farm is excited to announce its new partnership with Rogue Valley Farm to School Over the summer 2 one-week-long campsmdashJuly 8-12 for 7-10 year olds and August 5-9 for 5-7 year oldsmdashwill be hosted at Hanley with Rogue Valley Farm to School where children will learn about planting and tending crops caring for farm animals harvesting and preparing food as well as participate in arts and crafts related to farming In the fall Farm to School will be hosting regular ldquoHarvest Mealrdquo field trips to Hanley where children will participate in harvesting and preparing their own farm-fresh lunches The opportunity to have children learning the value of nutrition and the excitement of harvesting and preparing their own food is a wonderful development for Hanley Farm and one we are all looking forward to bringing to the community Registration for camps can be done online at wwwrvfarm2schoolorg

In addition to the Farm to School program we are thrilled to be expanding the Childrenrsquos Heritage Fair to three days this year On May 30-31 Hanley Farm will be hosting school groups from all over the Rogue Valley to learn about local history farming and to participate

in games and crafts So far there are over 700 children registered to attend during the two days of school field trips On Saturday June 1st the public is welcome to attend the Fair where children of all ages can connect with history through hands-on activities The public day of the Fair will run from 1000am-400pm

And of course donrsquot forget the Heritage Plant Sale happening at Hanley on Motherrsquos Day weekend May 11-12 The sale will open at 1000am and run to 300pm on Saturday and on Sunday there will be a Tea amp Crepes luncheon especially for mom with freshly-baked sweets from Coquette bakery also beginning at 1000am Come by for all of your spring plant needs as well as an extra-special way to say ldquothank yourdquo to mom

Up Close and Personal with Local Photographer Kathleen Hoevet

Fifth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish

Sometimes a chance encounter captures ones attention and sets us on a new and unexpected path

Such was the case for Kathy Hoevet who got her start as a photographer only a few years ago upon discovering the online community and image hosting site Flickr After browsing the site she was thoroughly impressed with the photos taken by a diverse group of talented artists Kathy was inspired to get a camera and set-out on a journey to explore her surroundings through the cameras lens With encouragement from her daughter to turn her hobby into a business Kathy sought-out Hannah West who helped set up her first showing at the Good Bean Coffee Shopmdashand she hasnrsquot looked back since

Befriending a local photo club and other photographers with the same camera she began to ask questions to gain better knowledge in the art of being a photographer ldquoNever shoot in auto moderdquo was one of the first bits of advice received To this day Kathy adheres to manual settings allowing her full control (of the camera at least) to create an image that reflects her vision of what lies before her She did however confess to a distrust of her own eyesrsquo ability to properly focus and therefore tends to rely on auto focus Other lessons

learned include the importance of composition leading lines the effect of light value space etchellip much the same as a painter learns the art of painting

To gain a better understanding of Photoshop tools Kathy attended study courses lead by well-known photographer Sean Bagshaw She credits him for teaching her a favorite technique which is to take a dynamic range of images and blend them together to create a much stronger final shot

While attending outdoor workshops lead by Sean David Cobb and Zach Schneph Kathy found herself chasing the early morning light in the Palouse and Olympic Mountains These trips taught her the importance of getting out

early and how quickly light changes a scene Shadows came and went so fast that she was constantly picking up her tripod and moving from spot to spot to capture the light and the effect it had on the scene before her lens Kathy couldnrsquot be happier with the great insight and

constructive criticism that was bestowed upon her Now shersquos eager to attend more workshops with these fine photographers some of whom are now friends

Kathyrsquos work is on display at the Black Oak Medical

Center Rogue Regency Inn Peoplersquos Bank on Barnett and Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville She also creates greeting cards with lots of wine and vineyard themes celebrating Southern Oregon wine country In Jrsquoville yoursquoll find them at Bella Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at

Rogue Regency Inn in Medford (More locations are coming soon)

Kathy has recently received requests to do product shots which she has found to be an enjoyable experience and a good challenge However the bulk of her work will continue to be

landscape and outdoor-based which she finds most peaceful and calming

Kathy will be showing her beautiful photographs in the Naversen Room of the Jacksonville Library through July 17 Please call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

Hopefully these tips have inspired you to try some of these packing light ideas on a future trip Save valuable travel dollars (not to mention your back) and have less stress while yoursquore at it Less stuff = less stress A good motto for life

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

How do we teach children

the value of eating healthy foods As a parent this is a difficult questionmdashdo we force green vegetables at dinner as a matter of course or do we find creative ways to integrate healthy foods into our daily routines Making nutrition a fun and interesting activity for children isnrsquot easy but that is what ldquoRogue Valley Farm to Schoolrdquo aims to do ldquoEducate children about our food system through hands-on farm and garden programs and by increasing local foods in school mealsrdquo

In addition to the Farm to School program we are thrilled to be expanding the Childrenrsquos Heritage Fair to three days this year On May 30-31 Hanley Farm will be hosting school groups from all over the Rogue Valley to learn about local history farming and to participate

in games and crafts So far there are over 700 children registered to attend during the two days of school field trips On Saturday June 1st the public is welcome to attend the Fair where children of all ages can connect with history through hands-on activities The public day of the Fair will run from 1000am-400pm

Up Close and Personal with Local Photographer Kathleen Hoevet

Fifth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish

Sometimes a chance encounter captures ones attention and sets us on a new and unexpected path

Such was the case for Kathy Hoevet who got her start as a photographer only a few years ago upon discovering the online community and image hosting site Flickr After browsing the site she was thoroughly impressed with the photos taken by a diverse group of talented artists Kathy was inspired to get a camera and set-out on a journey to explore her surroundings through the cameras lens With encouragement from her daughter to turn her hobby into a business Kathy sought-out Hannah West who helped set up her first showing at the Good Bean Coffee Shopmdashand she hasnrsquot looked back since

Befriending a local photo club and other photographers with the same camera she began to ask questions to gain better knowledge in the art of being a photographer ldquoNever shoot in auto moderdquo was one of the first bits of advice received To this day Kathy adheres to manual settings allowing her full control (of the camera at least) to create an image that reflects her vision of what lies before her She did however confess to a distrust of her own eyesrsquo ability to properly focus and therefore tends to rely on auto focus Other lessons

learned include the importance of composition leading lines the effect of light value space etchellip much the same as a painter learns the art of painting

To gain a better understanding of Photoshop tools Kathy attended study courses lead by well-known photographer Sean Bagshaw She credits him for teaching her a favorite technique which is to take a dynamic range of images and blend them together to create a much stronger final shot

While attending outdoor workshops lead by Sean David Cobb and Zach Schneph Kathy found herself chasing the early morning light in the Palouse and Olympic Mountains These trips taught her the importance of getting out

early and how quickly light changes a scene Shadows came and went so fast that she was constantly picking up her tripod and moving from spot to spot to capture the light and the effect it had on the scene before her lens Kathy couldnrsquot be happier with the great insight and

constructive criticism that was bestowed upon her Now shersquos eager to attend more workshops with these fine photographers some of whom are now friends

Kathyrsquos work is on display at the Black Oak Medical

Center Rogue Regency Inn Peoplersquos Bank on Barnett and Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville She also creates greeting cards with lots of wine and vineyard themes celebrating Southern Oregon wine country In Jrsquoville yoursquoll find them at Bella Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at

Rogue Regency Inn in Medford (More locations are coming soon)

Kathy has recently received requests to do product shots which she has found to be an enjoyable experience and a good challenge However the bulk of her work will continue to be

landscape and outdoor-based which she finds most peaceful and calming

Kathy will be showing her beautiful photographs in the Naversen Room of the Jacksonville Library through July 17 Please call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Rails to Trails Project Possible

Nowadays small businesses need all of the free help they can get and todayrsquos social media and

online search options can be that help Existing customers play an important role in todayrsquos business environment with their ability to post comments ratings and reviews on a variety of internet sites and social media platforms This feedback can help local businesses in attracting new customers

Todayrsquos travelers shoppers and diners seek-out more information on where to stay shop and dine than ever before Whether on a mobile device or home computer they use TripAdvisor YELP and Google Maps to locate and get reviews on businesses and services before deciding where to spend their money They also seek-out input from friends and family through Facebook Pinterest LinkedIn and Twitter

Business and Community WebsitesmdashMany websites allow comments to be posted about the business as a whole or on specific products Your input helps in two ways First it validates the website for Google search purposes by proving that the business has customers and that those customers are interacting with the website Second it helps other users of the website by encouraging them to support the same businesses

BlogsmdashComment on a businessrsquo blog or any blog that discusses one of your favorite businesses

FacebookmdashldquoLikerdquo your favorite businesses Like comment on and share their posts so that your friends will see them too Check-in at the business when you visit Your recommendation carries a

lot of weight in a purchase decision with your friends

TripAdvisor amp YELPmdashRate and share reviews of businesses you have used If you are new to this take some time to read the other reviews and get a feel for the rating system Donrsquot post these reviews while at the business and using the free WiFi as it will appear to be a fake review And donrsquot be surprised if businesses respond to your reviews TripAdvisor encourages businesses to interact with their customers through reviews

User accounts are required for these tools YELP reviews may be filtered out until you are an established user Savvy users will know how to find them by removing the filter

Having significant numbers of and high quality reviews helps businesses increase their overall online presence Google the top search engine aggregates reviews from the majority of review sites and factors that into its search algorithm So a higher online presence gets a business ranked higher in a Google search

The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce thanks you for supporting local businesses

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

It screens Friday night May 17 at 700pm at Old City Hall

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor with a straight spine (leaning against a wall can help) Slow down your breathing and close your eyes

bull Create a triangle with the tips of the middle fingers together and the tips of the thumbs together with the pinkie and ring fingers curled into the palm

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Up Close and Personal with Local Photographer Kathleen Hoevet

Fifth in a series of artist profiles by Randall Grealish

Sometimes a chance encounter captures ones attention and sets us on a new and unexpected path

Such was the case for Kathy Hoevet who got her start as a photographer only a few years ago upon discovering the online community and image hosting site Flickr After browsing the site she was thoroughly impressed with the photos taken by a diverse group of talented artists Kathy was inspired to get a camera and set-out on a journey to explore her surroundings through the cameras lens With encouragement from her daughter to turn her hobby into a business Kathy sought-out Hannah West who helped set up her first showing at the Good Bean Coffee Shopmdashand she hasnrsquot looked back since

Befriending a local photo club and other photographers with the same camera she began to ask questions to gain better knowledge in the art of being a photographer ldquoNever shoot in auto moderdquo was one of the first bits of advice received To this day Kathy adheres to manual settings allowing her full control (of the camera at least) to create an image that reflects her vision of what lies before her She did however confess to a distrust of her own eyesrsquo ability to properly focus and therefore tends to rely on auto focus Other lessons

learned include the importance of composition leading lines the effect of light value space etchellip much the same as a painter learns the art of painting

To gain a better understanding of Photoshop tools Kathy attended study courses lead by well-known photographer Sean Bagshaw She credits him for teaching her a favorite technique which is to take a dynamic range of images and blend them together to create a much stronger final shot

While attending outdoor workshops lead by Sean David Cobb and Zach Schneph Kathy found herself chasing the early morning light in the Palouse and Olympic Mountains These trips taught her the importance of getting out

early and how quickly light changes a scene Shadows came and went so fast that she was constantly picking up her tripod and moving from spot to spot to capture the light and the effect it had on the scene before her lens Kathy couldnrsquot be happier with the great insight and

constructive criticism that was bestowed upon her Now shersquos eager to attend more workshops with these fine photographers some of whom are now friends

Kathyrsquos work is on display at the Black Oak Medical

Center Rogue Regency Inn Peoplersquos Bank on Barnett and Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville She also creates greeting cards with lots of wine and vineyard themes celebrating Southern Oregon wine country In Jrsquoville yoursquoll find them at Bella Union and Farmhouse Treasures and at

Rogue Regency Inn in Medford (More locations are coming soon)

Kathy has recently received requests to do product shots which she has found to be an enjoyable experience and a good challenge However the bulk of her work will continue to be

landscape and outdoor-based which she finds most peaceful and calming

Kathy will be showing her beautiful photographs in the Naversen Room of the Jacksonville Library through July 17 Please call the library at 541-899-1665 for hours

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Rails to Trails Project Possible

Nowadays small businesses need all of the free help they can get and todayrsquos social media and

online search options can be that help Existing customers play an important role in todayrsquos business environment with their ability to post comments ratings and reviews on a variety of internet sites and social media platforms This feedback can help local businesses in attracting new customers

Todayrsquos travelers shoppers and diners seek-out more information on where to stay shop and dine than ever before Whether on a mobile device or home computer they use TripAdvisor YELP and Google Maps to locate and get reviews on businesses and services before deciding where to spend their money They also seek-out input from friends and family through Facebook Pinterest LinkedIn and Twitter

Business and Community WebsitesmdashMany websites allow comments to be posted about the business as a whole or on specific products Your input helps in two ways First it validates the website for Google search purposes by proving that the business has customers and that those customers are interacting with the website Second it helps other users of the website by encouraging them to support the same businesses

BlogsmdashComment on a businessrsquo blog or any blog that discusses one of your favorite businesses

FacebookmdashldquoLikerdquo your favorite businesses Like comment on and share their posts so that your friends will see them too Check-in at the business when you visit Your recommendation carries a

lot of weight in a purchase decision with your friends

TripAdvisor amp YELPmdashRate and share reviews of businesses you have used If you are new to this take some time to read the other reviews and get a feel for the rating system Donrsquot post these reviews while at the business and using the free WiFi as it will appear to be a fake review And donrsquot be surprised if businesses respond to your reviews TripAdvisor encourages businesses to interact with their customers through reviews

User accounts are required for these tools YELP reviews may be filtered out until you are an established user Savvy users will know how to find them by removing the filter

Having significant numbers of and high quality reviews helps businesses increase their overall online presence Google the top search engine aggregates reviews from the majority of review sites and factors that into its search algorithm So a higher online presence gets a business ranked higher in a Google search

The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce thanks you for supporting local businesses

The Chamber invites you to join us at our monthly general meetings at Old City Hall Held the second Thursday of each month at 830am we offer a relaxed and informative time to get your morning going and connect with the business community See you May 9th

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Chamber Chatby The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce

The longest journey starts with the first step One of the most pleasant things about Jacksonville is simply taking a walk My wife Cheryl and I spend many afternoons walking neighborhoods and trails around town Whether watching a bird or trying to figure out what kind of tree it is perched in we always come home relaxed and happy that we live in a place where you dont have to drive your car to get around

One of our favorite routes is the Rails to Trails bike and pedestrian path that runs from D to Middle Street alongside a minor tributary of Jackson Creek The Rogue Valley Railroad ran this route from the historic station by the post office into Medford many years ago The logs for our historic home on California Street the Purcell Cabin were brought over from Butte Falls on this very rail line in the 1930s and were then hand-peeled on the building site Today all that remains of the old railway is a flat grade some fruit trees and a slow trickle of water ndash making for my perfect recipe for a walk

It was on one of these walks when I remembered a serious effort to develop the railway easement into a greenway I did a quick check of Chapter 7 of the Cityrsquos Master Plan that revealed the

historic railway easement was ldquoideal for linear recreation developmentrdquo I guess this was a fancy way of saying ldquoitrsquos perfect for walking and biking onrdquo I also learned that five years ago the City had extended serious effort developing a state grant proposal to extend the greenway to Medford

I also discovered that my curiosity was well-timed since Oregons Transportation Growth Management (TGM) program is doing their biannual round of grants for just such projects A couple of phone calls and a pre-application later we were on the list The Jacksonville City Council approved developing a grant proposal with Jackson County and Medford on April 2nd if we get a grant wersquoll take our first steps towards developing a Jacksonville pedestrian corridor linking the two towns

This would be a wonderful asset to our community and a link that could someday connect Jacksonville to the Bear Creek Greenway and provide green transportation alternatives to our residents I will keep you posted on our efforts as they develop in next months Jacksonville Review

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Ph (541) 899-6976Fax (541) 899-6981

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor with a straight spine (leaning against a wall can help) Slow down your breathing and close your eyes

Man Suhaavee Mudra Kriya the mudra (hand gesture) which pleases the mind

bull Create a triangle with the tips of the middle fingers together and the tips of the thumbs together with the pinkie and ring fingers curled into the palm

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Recently Jacksonville Fire

and Jacksonville CERT conducted a public meeting for the residents of the Westmont Mary Ann Pair-A-Dice neighborhood the area selected as the first Firewise community in Jacksonville

Firewise is a national program designed to educate and support neighbors by creating defensible space around their homes With some assistance through Oregon Department of Forestry grant funds and ODF labor teams neighbors will be clearing highly-flammable vegetation planting fire-resistant shrubs trimming branches cleaning-out gutters sweeping-up pine needles and raking leaves

Each Firewise community has a board made up of neighbors who work together to approve the community

assessment formulate an action plan analyze investment and complete a renewal form One annual day of clean up is also required

Becoming a Firewise community is an ongoing endeavor that strives to maintain the neighborhood protection through defensible space from year-to-year Most of the work required to become a recognized Firewise community is minimal but when done by each neighbor the communal effect is dramatic

Jacksonville Fire and CERT plans to continue working with and following this neighborhoodrsquos progress and then have several more neighborhoods become Firewise

For more information about Firewise please call 541-414-3236 or email JacksonvilleFirewisegmailcom

I am writing this from the warm almost

hot April weather in Palm Desert

Californiahellip a place Sharon and I try to get to once every year There are three different routes we use when driving straight down I-5 through Los Angeles and then to Palm Desert I-5 to Bakersfield and over the Tehachapirsquos or through Lassen Park and Reno and down US-395 a longer route but by far the more scenic and the one we chose on this trip

Near the base of Mount Whitney on Highway 395 in the town of Independence California is a magnificent building which has caught my attention every time wersquove driven this route Built in the 1920rsquos at more than 28000 square feet it stands as an impressive-looking structure befitting its use as the county courthouse The Inyo County Superior Court website reads ldquoThe regions only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture the present courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 in recognition of its lsquointegrity of feeling and associationrsquo

Now Irsquom not sure what ldquointegrity of feeling and associationrdquo really means since such a description can be used for virtually any purpose But when reading it I asked myself what has that got to do with being historic The folks who wrote that should see a truly historic courthousehellip the one right here in Jacksonville we all know Built in the 1880s it stands as a monument to superb engineering and construction with a craftsmanship seldom seen in modern buildings

The Inyo County Courthouse is the fourth building on the same site The first a brick

structure was leveled in an earthquake The second a wooden structure was burned to the ground in a devastating city fire The third was outgrown

Our courthouse has had its own checkered history In 1932 the citizens voted to move the County Courthouse to Medford thus ending almost half a century of county government located in Jacksonville Then according to the National Park Service ldquoin the 1930s the building was used as the office for a local Boy Scout Troop and for meetings and other public functions such as dances During WW II the Courthouse was used for Civilian Air Defense meetings In 1946 the Jacksonville Courthouse became the Jacksonville Museum and home of the Southern Oregon Historical Societyrdquo The courthouse was perilously close to being demolished when SOHS saved it

Now more than eighty years since the county vacated the courthouse once again its fate remains to be determined I say why not return the building back to the original purpose for which it was designed Somehow it seems fitting that we go full circle by using it for our own city government We are in need of more space By using the first floor for city operations and the second floor as an ldquoevents centerrdquo we would be taking advantage of the fact that wersquod be using a building we never could have hoped to buy With its history and with its prominence in the city landscape it is the perfect location for our City Hall What a legacy for grateful and proud future generations What better way to assure this magnificent buildingrsquos future Once again the courthouse would come to life like the phoenix rising from the ashes Now that is something we could all celebrate

Swordplay and Swashbuckling at Old City HallWe are pleased to announce that

SCARAMOUCHE will be the film screened at Old City Hall in May Stewart Granger stars in this Napoleonic epic with Mel Ferrer as his villainous opponent Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker supply the love interest SCARAMOUCHE is probably the best film of its type other than THE SEA HAWK which we ran a couple of years ago It is a breathtaking display of sword-fighting at its best excellent acting from all the main characters brilliant direction superb over-the-top script and dialogue and first-class Technicolor photography The climactic eight minute dueling scene is perhaps the best ever filmed and certainly one of the longest SCARAMOUCHE is a film not-to-be-missed

Service of Former County Sheriff August Singler Formally Recognized by US

Congress and Oregon HouseOn April 15 2013 the Oregon State

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor with a straight spine (leaning against a wall can help) Slow down your breathing and close your eyes

Man Suhaavee Mudra Kriya the mudra (hand gesture) which pleases the mind

bull Create a triangle with the tips of the middle fingers together and the tips of the thumbs together with the pinkie and ring fingers curled into the palm

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Legislature marked the 100-year anniversary of the tragic death of former Jackson County Sheriff August D Singler with the introduction of House Resolution 4 The following was excerpted from remarks made in Washington DC Salem and Jackson County Oregon during the month of April when proclamations were read into the United States Congressional Oregon State Legislature and Jackson County Board of Commissioners records formally recognizing the sacrifice made by August Singler Singlerrsquos relatives including his granddaughter Diana Walker of Talent and great-granddaughter Chris Walker Jackson County Clerk and other grandchildren were in attendance in Salem to mark the occasion

Mr Speaker I rise to express gratitude to August D Singler former Sheriff of Jackson County Oregon Sheriff August David Singler was the 1st law enforcement officer and only Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon April 23 1913 He lived with his family in Jacksonville Oregon in the ldquoWilson Houserdquo located directly behind the old Jackson County CourthouseJail when Jacksonville was the county seat A very special individual who during his short tenure in law enforcement gave his life in service for the citizens of his County and the State of Oregon His place in history is recognized because of his selfless burning desire and bulldog attitude toward citizen rights protection of all families and respect for rule of law

August was born on May 28 1876 in Millersburg Plymouth County Indiana and was one of thirteen children of John and Susan Singler At a later date the Singler family moved to South Bend Indiana where August met his future wife Rose Probst They eventually married November 15 1898 and made their home in South Bend Indiana where their first child was born August watched the midwife during the birth of their first child and proceeded by himself to deliver the remainder of their eight children As the family and quest to support them grew August decided to head west Being the adventurous soul he was he hitchhiked to Southern Oregon twice before sending a wire for his wife and three children to come to Oregon by train Shortly after arriving their fourth child was born

Singler performed various small jobs including selling Singer sewing machines and patented medicines for the ldquoElectric Medical Companyrdquo August was considered a ldquoJack of all tradesrdquo who would go to great lengths to feed and clothe his family In late 1906 August purchased a small piece of land in Medford Oregon on Lozier Lane Although he knew very little about building houses he proceeded to erect a two- story home for his family

August was involved in many civic organizations including the Moose Lodge Redmen Woodsman of the World Knights of Columbus and was a charter member of the Elks Lodge Because of his extensive involvement he was known as a community-spirited man who gave of himself and his time

In 1909 August was appointed Constable of the Medford District and served four years in this position Upon his appointment Singlerrsquos reputation as keeper of the peace surfaced quickly His exploits were known from Sacramento California to Portland Oregon Singler

tracked criminals by horseback railroad-handcar card and buck board always seeming to capture the offenders He was called a ldquoSuper Sleuthrdquo nervy imaginative tough and yet a gentle soul The citizenry jokingly called him

ldquoSherlock HolmesrdquoThroughout the years

people have heard about Lawmen of the West yet none surpassed Singler in daring innovation and determination Ironically most of his achievements were accomplished during his tenure as Constable of the Medford District in Jackson County Oregon Singler was responsible for introducing the art of finger printing to Jackson County and was the first lawman to use blood hounds in this area

In 1912 he decided to run for Sheriff of Jackson County to

support the needs of his growing family His campaign slogan read ldquoParty I am Working Forrdquo and featured Singler with his wife Rose and eight children An interesting sideline to the campaign came when Singlerrsquos friends sent a campaign card east to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Friends were prompted to send the campaign card as Roosevelt had advocated for large families at this time Colonel Roosevelt acknowledged receipt of the card with best wishes for Singlerrsquos success Singler was successful in the Primary electionmdashbeating the odds running against Emmitt Beesen a local pioneer family descendent and being Catholic In the General election Singler defeated a popular incumbent Sheriff Wilber Jones

Singlerrsquos term as Sheriff began in January 1913 which was relatively routine until April 22 1913 when he was advised of the return of a 19-year-old desperado named Lester Jones His promising career as Sheriff was cut short that day as the result of the shootout with the fugitive Jones while the Sheriff was attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant In a classic scene out of the old West Sheriff Singler walked slowly toward the two room cabin in the hills southeast of Jacksonville The young desperado suddenly open firedmdashone bullet ploughed through the Sheriffrsquos lungs and another through his right hand As Singler fell to the ground he opened fire emptying his weapon Each of the six bullets hit fugitive Jones who died instantly Sheriff Singler passed the next morning on April 23 1913 leaving behind his beloved wife Rose and their eight children all under the age of thirteen He was the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Jackson County Oregon and the only one elected Sheriff

On April 25 1913 with businesses in Medford closed and flags lowered to half mast the last tribute was paid to Sheriff August D Singler The funeral procession was twelve blocks long with church crowds so large that only half could be seated as hundreds stood along the funeral procession with bowed heads It was said to be the largest outpouring of its kind in Jackson County history

It should be recognized that Sheriff Singler deserves a place in history His pride concern and leadership are still reflected in those who understand what it takes to preserve the peace He was a gentleman in every way and held a flair about himself that demanded respect May his name not be forgotten let him be placed among other recognized lawmen of the pasthellipthis day April 23 2013 represents 100 years since his tragic and untimely death

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor with a straight spine (leaning against a wall can help) Slow down your breathing and close your eyes

Man Suhaavee Mudra Kriya the mudra (hand gesture) which pleases the mind

bull Create a triangle with the tips of the middle fingers together and the tips of the thumbs together with the pinkie and ring fingers curled into the palm

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

For further information contact Dave Wilson at 541- 899-1934 e-mail elkhntrcharternet

With the memory of April 15th fresh in your mind itrsquos a good time to start your 2013 tax planning Many individuals make charitable contributions to local arts heritage and humanities organizations How would you like to increase your support for these important organizationsmdashat no cost to you You canmdashthrough the Oregon Cultural Trust

The Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) a program unique to Oregon was created by the State Legislature to promote our cultural resources In 2001 the Legislature authorized a 100 tax credit for residents donating to the OCT The OCT returns these donated monies to local communities in the form of grants from the Trust and its local affiliates such as the Jackson County Cultural Coalition

Since the tax creditrsquos inception Jackson County organizations have received almost $500000 in grants for programs ranging from art and music enrichment activities to health and fitness training to preserving and sharing local history to encouraging beginning readers to develop a lifelong love of learning Jacksonville has seen funding for Britt Festivals the Britt Gardens restoration the historic Catholic Rectoryrsquos new roof and repairs to the historic Beekman House Grants have also gone to the Shakespeare Festival the Film Festival the Youth Symphony the Rogue Valley Symphony and Chorale Ballet Folklorico SOHS SMART the YMCA Kids Unlimited CASA of Jackson County and moremdash65 organizations in all

These funds provide employment augment scarce resources generate additional revenue for the economy and help create income that allows recipient organizations to survive and thrive Economists also argue that such support for arts and culture adds to our capacity for long-term growth contributes to a desirable quality of life and creates valuable social bonds In short Jackson County Jacksonville and its cultural organizations benefit from the Cultural Trust tax credit and you and every other resident benefit from our regionrsquos cultural assets

Herersquos how the OCT tax credit works If you give as little as ten dollars ($10) to one or more of the registered 1300+ 501(c)(3) cultural organizations and donate a matching amount to the OCT you can deduct your Cultural Trust donation from the amount you owe the State in taxes up to a maximum of $500 per individualmdashwhether or not you itemize In other words your OCT donation costs you nothing Moreover it may come back to the community in the form of a grant

BUTmdashand itrsquos a BIG BUTmdashthe OCT tax credit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2013 You can take advantage of it during 2013 but we could all lose its future benefit The Legislature is currently deciding on whether or not to renew this legislation

You can insure that we continue to benefit from this tax credit and that this funding source continues to be available to our cultural organizations Just make a phone call send an e-mail or write a letter to our legislators saying ldquoplease renew the Cultural Trust Tax Creditrdquo To make it even easier herersquos the contact information

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

Hopefully these tips have inspired you to try some of these packing light ideas on a future trip Save valuable travel dollars (not to mention your back) and have less stress while yoursquore at it Less stuff = less stress A good motto for life

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Less Stuff = Less Stress2 Weeks in a Carry-on Bag

by Anne McAlpin

In the March Review I offered tips on how technology is improving the way we travel Based on a recent trip

to Turkey and Greece during which I took only a 20rdquo carry-on bag herersquos part 2 of how I kept my bag under 18 pounds (You can find part 1 on the Review website at wwwjacksonvillereviewcom)

The resounding response I received from part 1 was ldquoDid you ever change your clothesrdquo Well yes I did And the tech theme follows through from carrying lighter luggage to light-weight travel-friendly clothing and only packing clothing and items that have multiple uses

This trip was challenging to pack for because we were traveling the last week of September into Octobermdashone week in a Villa on Rhodes and the second week sailing the Turkish Coast on a 98rsquo sailboat (Yes it was truly the trip of a lifetime) The weather was projected to be 85 degrees (and it was) but I wondered what to pack for our time on the sailboat which in Turkish is ldquoGuletrdquo Thankfully my sailing friend Jim had reminded me that ldquoHot days turn into cold nights especially on the waterrdquo and he recommended packing a long sleeve ldquoperformance fabric toprdquo to layer under a windbreaker This turned-out to be the best tip of the trip

New Performance Fabrics = Packing LightermdashThe definition of ldquoperformance fabricsrdquo is fabrics that breathe well wick moisture away from your skin and dry quicklymdashall of which make travel more comfortable especially in humid climates Most performance fabrics are either nylon or polyester and some name brands include Coolmaxreg Capilenereg and Supplexreg

I packed a few of these tops which came in handy in the hot Mediterranean weather An added benefit is they didnrsquot add much weight to my bag and quick-drying meant they were easy to washhellip so I packed less Since all-natural fabrics are more comfortable (such as cotton and silk) but take a long time to dry I prefer to travel with middle-of-the-road cottonpoly blend fabrics which offer both comfort and performance

Also layering clothing items helped

keep my bag light Therersquos no need to pack three sweaters when one zip-up top was easy to put over a Coolmaxreg shirt base layer and then layer a windbreaker on top of both As it got hotter I peeled-off the layers and then added clothes back on as it got cooler I was really glad I also packed a long sleeve shirt with sun-protection (ldquoUPFrdquo) against both UVA and UVB rays for long days on deck

and sight-seeing My wide-brimmed hat was a winner too I also packed a couple pair of Caprirsquos shorts and a skirtmdashall under 18 pounds

Travel ShoesmdashEveryone knows shoes can be the heaviest items in your bag I was able to travel with just three pair of shoes New Balance runners (perfect for hiking through ruins) Teva Sandals (new design allowed me to wear sightseeing on Rhodes on the sailboat on the beach and even to dinner) and a lighter pair of Sketcher runners I also took flip-flops which were perfect for cold

marble floors on deck and poolside Zip Clean Washing Machine (hellipor

Laundry on the Go)mdashThe answer to packing light pack for a week and do laundry We knew in advance that our Villa had a washing machine but no dryer (similar to most European set-ups)

so we packed accordingly On the sailboat we were able to wash our clothes in the sink amp hang to dry topside My laundry secret is to turn a gallon-sized Ziploc bag into a mini-washing machine by filling it with water and travel

soap (shampoo in a pinch) toss in socksunderwear agitate and repeat with clean water for the rinse cycle

3 items that helped keep my bag under 18 pounds

Large cotton scarf I pack a large scarf for every trip to cover my shoulders in cathedrals and mosques to stay warm dining outside in the evening and as a blanket on the plane

Silk long-underwear top In addition to my tech tops I took one silk long-sleeved top which was perfect for the night we slept on-deck under the stars as well as in the airport in the freezing air conditioning Natural fabrics are generally warmer than synthetic and it fits in a quart size Ziploc bagmdashnow thatrsquos packing light

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

Hopefully these tips have inspired you to try some of these packing light ideas on a future trip Save valuable travel dollars (not to mention your back) and have less stress while yoursquore at it Less stuff = less stress A good motto for life

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

For further information contact Dave Wilson at 541- 899-1934 e-mail elkhntrcharternet

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

For further information contact Dave Wilson at 541- 899-1934 e-mail elkhntrcharternet

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

For further information contact Dave Wilson at 541- 899-1934 e-mail elkhntrcharternet

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

For further information contact Dave Wilson at 541- 899-1934 e-mail elkhntrcharternet

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

Hopefully these tips have inspired you to try some of these packing light ideas on a future trip Save valuable travel dollars (not to mention your back) and have less stress while yoursquore at it Less stuff = less stress A good motto for life

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Last summer GoodBean owner Mary Kell and art curator Hannah West of Art Presence fell in love

with the hand-painted silk creations by Judy Elliott This month Judyrsquos ldquoDragonfly Designs Westrdquo collection featuring a hand-sewn kimono and a spectacular hand-painted black and red hibiscus wall hanging will be on display along with other work

Since last summer Judy has made plans to get married moved into a new home started a new career and painted a lot of silk Yoursquoll be treated to an array of stunning pieces that will make very special gifts for Motherrsquos Day Along with hand-sewn cotton kimonos and Happi coats hand-painted silk scarves handheld fans and wall hangings expect to see hand-painted paper Japanese-style umbrellas

Judy says ldquoGrowing up in Hawaii I absorbed the tastes and cultures of the Islands My father a photographer blessed me with an artistic eye for exotic colors and shapes Early on I developed

an interest in Japanese fashion and design particularly the Kimono and Happi (pronounced ldquoHoppirdquo) Coat which I often wore as a child while dancingrdquo

Judy adds ldquoSilk comes from the silk worm and is spun into threads to weave into various items While visiting a silk carpet manufacturing facility in Turkey I learned more about how the threads are

formed and usedhellipit is actually very strong and durable Silk is a unique item to paint on and requires trial and error before beginning the process I enjoy working with silk experimenting with new ways to use itrdquo

Hannah West notes ldquoWe anticipate a colorful show with graceful designs that will create a lovely ambience in the GoodBean for everyone to enjoy this month And we look forward to seeing you and your Mom on Motherrsquos Day 2013 and hope you consider one of Judyrsquos gorgeous pieces for a gift she will never forgetrdquo

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

Hopefully these tips have inspired you to try some of these packing light ideas on a future trip Save valuable travel dollars (not to mention your back) and have less stress while yoursquore at it Less stuff = less stress A good motto for life

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

ldquoMy Neighbors Gardenrdquo is actually one of my neighbors Ron and Julie Kantor are newbies to

Jacksonville transplanting here after two long years of building and waiting for the timing to move from their Napa home

Right off the bat the Kantors had to deal with their Wells Fargo homes hillside grade issues After working through re-design and retaining wall issues they are now tucked into their home and working full tilt on design of their back gardenhellipor more specifically their ldquomission style hint of Asian retreatrdquo Entering their home your eye is immediately drawn to the large windows framing the structures natural elements and forms evolving in the garden On the same level the view is a continuous sweep from home to outdoor I absolutely fell in love with the environment they are creating and it made me want to rip out my garden and start over (A not-so-happy thought for my husband)

Ron and Julies excitement is evident as they talk about the garden Both are finding therapy and joy in designing and finding out what they have in common with the selection of plants pots and decor Ron had a very clear idea of what he wanted but it changed due to water diversion issues and deer Neither like the ldquofence lookrdquo so with the help of a landscaper they put ldquowantsrdquo down on paper and integrated them into dealing with those issues The water problem drove them to what is now the focus of the gardenhellipa gorgeous dry creek bed running the entire width of the back Flanked on the sides by mounded planting beds (a feature repeated throughout) garden art specimen trees and large boulders are already creating a look of their own A beautiful contrast lies just beyond the creek bed where the back half of their property is left natural It continues in a mesmerizing pastoral scene under

small oaks creating a canopy over gentle grasses Afternoon sunlight warms the grass tips and tree bark providing a landscaping feature money cannot buy while deer graze in the shadows

The garden boulders tie into the texture of the rock retaining wall creating a strong 3-way partnership with the creek

bed In the center of the garden a meandering stone patio surrounds a 3-foot pillar stone fountain that trickles onto rocks Rock slab benches placed perfectly along the walking area unify the entire garden

Julies greatest joy has been discovering all the plants available that she can play with Suggested plants were not used as Julie and Ron take pleasure in finding the perfect unusual specimen tree or shrub for each spot Each plant has its own story and was selected based on what they love and fits the look they want Instead of

a ldquoplanrdquo they are creating from the heart and are taking ldquoone plant at a timerdquo Rustic terracotta pots hold bamboo Another perfectly placed earthy glazed pot holds a curly ldquoWalking stickrdquo From tiny islands of sea thrift to Japanese

maple a creamy white dogwood in a back bed shade tucked hellebores and several individual evergreens like a Hudson Spruce it is becoming part of who they are

Both mentioned they feel like ldquoparentsrdquo each day looking at each plant and seeing what it is doing and how it has grown or for Julie finding a new bird sharing what they have planted She and Ron both love to just ldquoberdquo in the garden and enjoy the time they have to enjoy it Each step in the process is being savored In no time they will be enjoying evenings with a glass of wine as they listen to their fountain bubble watch the birds and

see how ldquotheir childrenrdquo have grownKay is the owner of Blue Door Garden

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor with a straight spine (leaning against a wall can help) Slow down your breathing and close your eyes

bull Create a triangle with the tips of the middle fingers together and the tips of the thumbs together with the pinkie and ring fingers curled into the palm

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Spring officially arrived on March 20 and with it the chance to spend more

time outdoors amidst new growth with a reinvigoration of color and texture in the landscape Some

would say that spring is the best season of all and Irsquod have a hard time arguing with them Itrsquos always exciting working alongside Mother Nature in bringing to life new outdoor areas in our town and region

When we think of spring itrsquos important to remember that the things we do for the interior of our homes carries over into outdoor spaces You probably know what Irsquom talking aboutmdashspring cleaning Most of us would agree that our homes benefit from a good spring cleaning and this is equally true for landscaping The first most obvious thing to do is clearing out dead plant material which is really important Most properties can be cleared of old growth and unwanted plant material in as little time as a weekend But there are a number of other steps needed to ldquoclean uprdquo a landscape including tearing out outdated designs and incorporating an irrigation system Adding or seasonally updating an irrigation system can improve the strength of the spring growth in any outdoor area

With a clean fresh and newly-irrigated lawn new plantings can be just the solution for a springtime update Some of the most traditional blooms we associate

with spring weather are those that grow from bulbs so these would naturally have to be planted in the fall Sometimes I like to take look at a landscape in the spring and note the color that should be added with bulbs the coming fall I would advise that you make sure to record your plans for bulb planting so that when fall comes around yoursquoll have some specific steps to take In

a different vein planting a vegetable garden in the spring can bring much more immediate results Often a dedicated planting bed for vegetables can transform an outdoor area from one that is beautiful to one thatrsquos beneficial and provides nutritional foodstuffs at the same time

This is a great time of year to take note of how spring colors bursting from your yard can be incorporated into outdoor areas If you have

outdoor furniture that is starting to fade an update can be achieved by adding a few new throw pillows or simply replacing the outdoor cushions with onersquos complimenting your garden plantings Annual blooms can be added to planters and garden beds for a minimal cost with a maximum return in color impact I invite you to join me in celebrating the season by embracing the beauty hope and new life that a little attention to colorful details can bring to your outdoor living area

Puncturevine is a tap-rooted annual with small 5-petaled yellow

flowers and small hairy opposite leaves Its tendrils can reach 10rsquo in length It produces thorny seeds which when mature will split into smaller segments The thorns dry to iron hardness and can be transported in tires feet shoes etc

Learn to recognize this plant earlymdashThis plant starts producing seeds almost immediately after germination Recognizing it and killing it before seed production is crucial in gaining control The mid-vein on the seedling leaves is a clear indicator that yoursquore dealing with the right villain and this size is just the right time to get ahead of the seed production curve

Use the right tool at the right timemdashAt seedling stage this plant can be easily controlled by cutting the taproot spraying burning even pouring boiling water on it Once it starts producing seeds those methods no longer apply The only method for true control in seed-production stage is to sever the taproot and bag the plant Complete removal is the only way to control the plant once seeds are produced and Irsquove seen plants as small as silver dollars producing seed

If the plants yoursquore dealing with have produced seed for Petersquos sake donrsquot drive theremdashIf and when itrsquos safe get the propane burner out and scorch the area Even

if you donrsquot kill the seeds yoursquoll burn off the spines thereby removing itrsquos method of transportation

Try this sitemdashhttporegongovODAPLANTWEEDSindexshtml Itrsquos important to utilize all the tools at our disposal If yoursquore a more tactile person a book Irsquove found quite useful (great pictures) is Weeds of the West

The city and county have many priorities so donrsquot be mistaken into thinking that road frontage that abuts your property will be taken care of by someone else Remember your property will suffer from lack of weed control along roads

adjacent to your property and your property will lose value so take charge The city and county appreciate your help Also remember if you use herbicides read and follow the label explicitly

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

Hopefully these tips have inspired you to try some of these packing light ideas on a future trip Save valuable travel dollars (not to mention your back) and have less stress while yoursquore at it Less stuff = less stress A good motto for life

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

HomeCare by Graham Farran Expert Properties

Southern Oregon seems to be built on an ant hill and we always receive questions

about how to get rid of the little intruders We Googled ldquoHow to get rid of Antsrdquo and found lots of advice and ideas which we recapped below Since there are too many ideas for us to test we have bolded comments on methods we at Expert Properties have tested and found successful

Adhesive Tape mdashCreate a ldquomoatrdquo around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up

Boric AcidmdashGive ants the heave-ho by sprinkling boric acid along any cracks or crevices where yoursquove spotted the intruders Note boric acid can be toxic if ingested by young children or pets This is one solution we have tried and it worked

ChalkmdashKeep ants at bay by drawing a line around home entry points Ants will be repelled by the calcium carbonate in chalk which is actually made up of ground-up and compressed shells of marine animals Scatter powdered chalk around garden plants to repel ants and slugs

Cloves and Bay LeavesmdashSprinkle ground cloves andor crushed bay leavesmdashants hate them and will run screaminghellip listen hard they have tiny mouths

Colony-Find the SourcemdashIf you find the colony you have it made and can kill the eggs and the queen We followed a line of ants to a wood pile lifted up some logs to find thousands of eggs and noticed a mad shuffle as the worker ants tried to carry the eggs to safetyhellipthey were stopped by a can of RAID

FlourmdashSprinkle a line of flour along the backs of pantry shelves or wherever ants are entering the house Repelled by the flour ants wonrsquot cross over the line

LemonsmdashSquirt lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills and holes or cracks where the ants are getting in And scatter small slices of lemon peel around the outdoor entrance

MintmdashAnts donrsquot like mint so pour dry mint or extract

on their pathmdashthey wonrsquot cross the area Keep repeating and they will usually go away

OrangesmdashIn a blender make a smooth puree with orange peels in 1 cup warm water and slowly pour the solution over and into anthills to send the little pests packing

PeppermdashAnts are always looking for sugar so give them pepper instead Cayenne pepper sprinkled along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards will say ldquoNo sugar aheadrdquo

RaidmdashDo advance work and take everything out from under your kitchen sink and wash it all with a cleaning solution Then using Raid Ant killer spray around where the pipes come out of the floor or wall Spray along the floor line including near your refrigerator and around your window We have used this at Expert Properties and it has worked well

SaltmdashIntercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths and you will discourage them from crossing this barrier

Talcum PowdermdashScatter talcum powder liberally around the house foundation and other points of entry such as doors and windows Other effective organic repellents include cream of tartar borax powdered sulfur and oil of cloves You can also try planting mint around the house foundations

TerromdashYou simply set Terro traps out on your kitchen sink or whereever you have ants and in theory the ants not only get poisoned but take the poison back to the nest This worked well for us

vinegarmdashPour equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on anthills and around areas where you see the insectsmdashthey hate the smell of vinegar

In case the above mentioned home remedies donrsquot work seek professional help and hire an exterminator

If you have any additional comments or ideas on how to get rid of ants please give us your input on our blog at httpexpertpropscomblog Expert Properties specializes in real estate management sales and furnished rentals See ad on back page

How to Get Rid of Ants

There are many answers that come from asking the above question Many collectors may know the difference but for a lot of us it can

be confusing Since purchasing an item when you are unaware of its true place in history may cost you a review of the various designations is in order

Collectible In general items of significance beauty value or interest that are not ldquoAntiquerdquo (100 years older or more) fall into the realm of collectibles However not all collectibles are limited editions and many of them have been around for decades Examples include popular turn-of-the-last-century posters Art Deco and Art Nouveau items carnival and Depression-era glass Most people today refer to collectible items as those that have been manufactured between 1960 and 1979 In addition there exists the ldquocontemporary collectiblesrdquo featuring items like plates figurines bells graphics steins Beanie Babies and dolls from the 1980rsquos and up So when you compare antiques to collectibles remember the saying ldquoAntiques stand the test of timerdquo Their value remains stable Collectibles however are priced more on a whim and their long-term value is highly speculative Use caution when investing in collectibles as opposed to antiques

vintage Vintage refers to objects actually from a certain time period Some people define vintage as having a specific date range but in most cases objects are considered vintage depending on the date of manufacture In other words an item described as ldquovintagerdquo should speak of the era in which it was produced and be representational and recognizable as belonging to the era

in which it was made ldquoVintagerdquo would not be used on an object that is less than 20 years old

Retro The word ldquoretrordquo means ldquorelating or being the styles and fashion of the past fashionably nostalgic or old-fashionedrdquo Retro furniture may not actually be old but it references styles of the recent past Most retro items would fall within the 1970-1989 timeframe

Mid-Century Mid-Century is defined roughly as the time period 1935-1965 During this time there were many architectural and interior designers who took Art

Deco the prevailing style of the day and advanced the design elements with a sleeker more horizontal-line Architects such as Quincy Jones Albert Frey and Richard Neutra created an exterior style that we recognize as Mid-Century Furniture designers such as Heywood Wakefield the Eameses Arne Jacobsen and Isamu Noguchi created the same for interior designs With the returning

servicemen from World-War II who were exposed to new design elements in the European and Asian markets there became a great demand for the ldquonewrdquo Danish Modern Chinese-Modern and Italian designs that define Mid-Century

These are general guidelines to help define the different terms you will encounter while ldquoAntiquingrdquo or shopping at a flea market There is a lot of fun and joy in collecting and buying your treasures so itrsquos important for an item to ldquospeakrdquo to you whether it is a collectible vintage retro or mid-century You should feel a connection to it and appreciate its beauty

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

Hopefully these tips have inspired you to try some of these packing light ideas on a future trip Save valuable travel dollars (not to mention your back) and have less stress while yoursquore at it Less stuff = less stress A good motto for life

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor with a straight spine (leaning against a wall can help) Slow down your breathing and close your eyes

bull Create a triangle with the tips of the middle fingers together and the tips of the thumbs together with the pinkie and ring fingers curled into the palm

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

FatherDaughter DanceOur first annual FatherDaughter Dance

is scheduled to be held in May (datetime TBD) The girls will dance the evening away with their special loved one (father or grandfather or uncle etc) We are looking forward to this fun event

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

Hopefully these tips have inspired you to try some of these packing light ideas on a future trip Save valuable travel dollars (not to mention your back) and have less stress while yoursquore at it Less stuff = less stress A good motto for life

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

The fog rolled in and the rain began when we moved to Jacksonville in November 1995 I loved our new home and community but I remember looking out at the rain in January wondering how long When spring came my concern disappeared I had no memory of living anywhere with this astonishing abundance of beauty Walking in the woods was an introduction to wildflowers I had never seen birds Irsquod never glimpsed or heard Now 17 years later winter is past and spring is here Patches of sunlight coax a few early bloomers like previews of coming attractions Teasing notes of songbirds stop us in our tracks for a one-sided game of hide and see Today the curtain has come up on the main attraction flowers exuberantly blooming and birdsongs heard on the Woodland Trails

Along the trail there is a forgotten little handful of elegant Fawn Lilies with one dandelion included a childrsquos intuitive knowledge of complimentary color They lie on the ground wilted and crumpled Perhaps they were innocently picked and offered to a parent and received a scolding spoiling the wonder and therefore discarded Or perhaps it was carelessly taken and thrown away I hope neither scenario happened I remember long ago when I was five picking so many dandelions that I had to carry them in my blouse I was on a path next to a stream trickling through a field to my grandmarsquos house It seemed I held all the brilliance that nature could offer in those soft yellow heads and I offered them to grandma First she gently taught me that flowers are to be freely shared but when found in the woods we leave them to live their lives in their natural home Then she taught me that the Dandelion can be used as food and drink and she placed one flower under my chin to show me how it could detect whether or not a person liked buttermdashan amazing flower

Today Shooting Stars abound their stems each form a French curve ending in the perky red violet flower with a dark purple accent They make luxurious splashes of color all through the woodlands Houndrsquos Tongue waits patiently for those other wild flowers to make its grand entrance now it is out

mingling among them creating a stunning display It parades a palette of color that plays across the blue family from sky blue to ultramarine and finally fading to lavender before it is spent The leaves of the plant suggest its name as they wrap up around as if licking the thick stalk

With the woodlands bursting with beautiful color and fragrance the birds have joined in for a late morning songfest

adding another sensory dimension to this morningrsquos walk Hearing a woodpecker I look high and low to find it and discover an Acorn Woodpecker possibly on its way home from Arizona and just stopping by for a little nourishment I know where to look for my favorite Woodland

friend the shy Rufus Sided Towhee It is black with burnt orange sides and white breastmdashand even has stripes and spotsmdashit just doesnrsquot get much better Its song is ldquoTowheerdquo first and second verses and chorus alike I hear it on the ground in the dry leaves under the bushes I still have a small book from childhood simply called ldquoBirdsrdquo It is one of the Golden Library of Knowledge books I loved it and it shows the book is well-worn and thumbed-through On page 51 is an illustration of the Towhee explaining that it is sometimes mistaken for a robin and feeds on the ground The pages that aroused new curiosity in me as a child are now a little brown but it opened a door of fascination that has accompanied me through life

When I was growing up my favorite white flowers were Lilacs No manufactured scent can come close to the natural perfume when I bury my nose into a cluster of lilacs They helped awaken in me the wonder of the earthrsquos natural treasures But nothing in my childhood prepared me for the radiant purity and simplicity of the Trillium Today after crossing two bridges on the Woodland trail we come to a low area near to Jackson Creek It has been expertly staged to focus on the Trillium Oh Glorious Day Each plant has three wide green leaves surrounding three white petals with a crown of brilliant yellow in the center The petals point to the heavens and my eyes follow them up as I whisper a grateful ldquoThank Yourdquo

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

From the moment we become

parents we realize our lives are no

longer our own so much more is at stake We take the tiny helpless infant into our arms and commit our lives to the new demanding stranger Without hesitation we vow to love and protect them We promise to share all our worldly knowledge and experience with them and expect nothing in return

We are committed to being successful and research what professionals consider to be the best baby proofing products safest car seats strollers and high chairs We consciously select toys that will stimulate curiosity excitement and learning Our bathrooms become small drug stores filled with pain relievers diaper creams bandages covered with cartoon characters stool softeners toothache gelhellipwe want to be prepared for anything

Well worn copies of What to Expect When Yoursquore Expecting and the First Year sit side-by-side on the book shelf an even more tattered copy of The Discipline Book is at the bedside riddled with dog ears underlined passages and sticky notes Meanwhile The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem sits splayed open on the coffee table We are proactive methodical and diligent parents However nothing could have prepared you for _______ (fill in your own blank)

As parents our dreams are filled with images of eternal happiness and unlimited opportunities for our children Every waking moment is focused on helping them to achieve that happiness by teaching them about all the wonderful things the world has to offer Through it all our mission is to make sure they feel safe and loved So what happens when we fall from grace

A parenting fact is that going from feeling omnipotent to incompetent is inevitable because in reality

disappointment injustice and pain are all unpredictable Itrsquos natural to want to protect our children from harsh reality but itrsquos impossible We cannot be with them every moment everyday to ward off evil doers There comes a time when we must trust that our children will be cared for by others trust our adolescentrsquos judgment and trust that we are making the best decision for our children even when the options are lousy And like it or not others will not care for them as we would they will have errors in judgment and disappoint us on more than one occasion and parents even after doing all that homework we will make plenty of wrong decisions along the way

Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes bad things happen to good people How we deal with challenging situations and the emotions they evoke and how we navigate ourselves and our children through such adversity is what makes the difference It can ultimately define who we are and who they will become When they make mistakes or bad things happen to them use it as an opportunity to teach them how to draw strength from the experience learn from it and eventually offeraccept forgiveness Keep in mind itrsquos easier for most people to extend forgiveness than it is to receive it which can be detrimental to their subconscious for years And clarify the difference between a victim mentality and an empowered survivor

Our actions are the only thing we can control and we need to make sure children learn this through conversations that help them to understand cause and effect Children donrsquot come with instruction manuals and none of us are equipped with a What to Expect During Your Life Expectancy guide All we can do is our best and believe that the bad experiences we endure have a greater purpose and embrace the notion that which does not kill us only makes us stronger characters

microfiber travel towel I used this every day since both the villa and sailboat only provided 1-2 towels for each of us Because of the quick drying microfiber fabric and its XL size I was able to use this for an extra towel for the beachbath and pool as well as a sarongcover-up for my swimsuit and it packed down to the size of a paperback book

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Ph (541) 899-6976Fax (541) 899-6981

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor with a straight spine (leaning against a wall can help) Slow down your breathing and close your eyes

Man Suhaavee Mudra Kriya the mudra (hand gesture) which pleases the mind

bull Create a triangle with the tips of the middle fingers together and the tips of the thumbs together with the pinkie and ring fingers curled into the palm

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

If you are over the age of 40 you have probably noticed a decrease in your ability to

see things up close This natural aging process during which the eyersquos crystalline lens loses its ability

to focus on near objects is called presbyopia In early stages you may discover that if you just hold things a little further away you are able to focus well enough But eventually as your arms seem too short to reach that focus you will need another solution

While presbyopia cannot be prevented or reversed there are now several options available to treat it depending on your lifestyle You may choose reading glasses whether prescription or over-the-counter to relieve eyestrain while performing near tasks like reading or using a computer Over-the-counter type readers will not correct astigmatism or compensate for a difference between the right eye and the left eye In addition the inexpensive lens materials used in these readers may have lesser quality optics which could lead to eyestrain or headaches Prescription readers will provide the clearest most comfortable vision for near activities

If you find the constant search for reading glasses to be inconvenient you may want to consider bifocals

These lenses allow you to see clearly for far when you look straight ahead and clearly up close when you gaze downward Bifocals may be used even if you do not need a distance prescription If you donrsquot like the look of bifocal lenses progressive lenses can give you all the benefits of a bifocal without the visible line

Another option for treating presbyopia is contact lenses Monovision is the use of a distance contact lens in the dominant eye and a near contact lens in the other eye Alternatively you may be a candidate for bifocal contact lenses which correct distance and near in both eyes

While laser vision correction will not allow your eyes to change focus from distance to near like they did when you were younger you may opt for monovision correction similar to the contact lenses above Other surgical corrections include a recent advance in cataract surgery in which the natural lens of the eye is replaced by a flexible implant This implant can change position in the eye and allow you to focus on both distance and near objects

Presbyopia can be very frustrating especially if you have never needed vision correction before Your optometrist can evaluate your daily visual demands and help you to find the best solution to meet your needs

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that results in decreased bone strength

and increases the risk of fractures It is estimated that 200 million people have osteoporosis worldwide with 10 million Americans having the diseasemdash8 million women and 2 million men It is projected that by 2020 there will be almost 14 million

Americans with osteoporosisSurprisingly osteoporosis is much more common

than other diseases which usually catch the publicrsquos attention and it does not get recognized early enough even if the consequences of certain fractures can lead to death There are approximately 15 million osteoporotic fractures per year in the United States This includes 700000 spine fractures 300000 hip fractures 250000 wrist fractures and 300000 other fractures

Osteoporosis may occur not just in women but also in men Aside from family history and menopause in women there are several conditions and medications that may predispose a person to lose bone The most common are chronic steroid use anticonvulsants depot progesterone methotrexate hyperthyroidism hyperparathyroidism vitamin D deficiency celiac disease inflammatory bowel disease alcohol abuse low testosterone levels in men and low estrogen levels in premenopausal women

The screening test for osteoporosis is through a DXA scanbone mineral density which is a painless test similar to getting an X-ray It is covered by Medicare and most commercial health plans Screening is recommended for

bull All women age 65 and older and men age 70 and older regardless of risk factors

bull Younger post-menopausal women and men aged 50-70 and older with risk factors

bull Adults with a fragility fracture (fracture occurring

spontaneously or following minor trauma such as fall from a standing height)

bull Individuals receiving steroids over 3 months or morebull Individuals with a history of primary

hyperparathyroidismThe main goal for treating osteoporosis is to prevent

fractures This is achieved by modifying risk factors addressing secondary causes of osteoporosis and medications that increase the risk of developing the disease There are several medications that are FDA-approved for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

bull Bisphosphonates (Fosamax Actonel Boniva Reclast)bull Denosumab (Prolia)bull Teriparitide (Forteo)bull Calcitoninbull Raloxifenebull EstrogenIn addition to the abovementioned pharmacologic

treatments calcium and vitamin D supplementation should also be part of the regimen

Lately there has been some controversy about the use of bisphosphonates because of the noted incidence of atypical hip fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw As with any treatment the risks and benefits have to be weighed and information from research studies has to be analyzed in the appropriate context I would advise discussing questions or concerns regarding the different treatment strategies with your doctor to determine which is best for you

Osteoporosis is common and can occur in both men and women But the consequences of untreated osteoporosis----increased risk of fractures---can be lessened by early detection and timely treatment If you or someone you know has risk factors for osteoporosis or is at a certain age where the risk of osteoporosis is high please talk to your doctor about screening

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma are just a few diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant Imagine finding-out that your husband wife or child didnrsquot have long to live without a bone marrow transplant Recently this happened to a close friend of mine at which time I was shocked to learn there are 10 million-plus people in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry and yet many patients die before they find a match Our friend was fortunate to have found a match and we are praying the outcome will result in the long-term remission of his disease

What can you do to ensure more are able to find a lifesaving match Its simple convenient and free If you are between 18 amp 44 I invite you to come to the Bigham Knoll Campus in Jacksonville on Tuesday May 14th between 1000am-200pm and join the ldquoBe the Match Registryrdquo After filling-out a short registration form and a basic medical questionnaire all thatrsquos left is a simple swab from of the cells of your cheek Its that easy and by taking 10-20 minutes out of

your day you could end-up being the life-saving match that someones loved one has been waiting for

Once matched Be the Match Foundation covers all costs associated with harvesting marrow from donors Although partially funded by the government much of their ability to find new donors is made possible through fundraising initiatives Each completed donor swab test kit costs the foundation approximately $100 Our goal at this drive at Bigham Knoll is to register as many new potential donors as we can to help save lives and also raise some money to donate to the Be the Match Foundation If you are a corporation or individual that would like to sponsor this drive in any way please contact Cristie Fairbanks at 541-899-2099 or thefairbanksfamilyyahoocom I look forward to seeing you at the drive on Tuesday May 14th

Bigham Knoll Campus is located at 525 Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville From the corner of 5th Street and ldquoFrdquo Street (at Rays Food Market) head east until the street ends at the campus

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Natalia Nazartchouk has joined Dr Andrew Watson at Ruch Family Medicine and is currently accepting new patients She is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and additionally has been certified as an

Advanced Diabetes Management Practitioner by the American Diabetes Association Natalia received her Master of Science degree from University of Massachusetts in 2002 and for the last 11 years has engaged in advanced medical practice both in ambulatory and hospital care environments

Key specialties of her medical experience include family primary care cardiology advanced diabetes management geriatrics and womenrsquos health As a Family Nurse Practitioner Natalia places strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention

Nataliarsquos Philosophy of Care ldquoCompassion and understanding need to be integrated with clinical aspects of healthcare I want to build long-term professional relationships with my patients based on trust comfort and understanding and I enjoy taking care of multiple generations within a family I am a strong advocate for preventative medicine and strive to equip my patients with knowledge and tools which will help to promote their personal wellbeingrdquo

Recently I helped a client

identify old emotional issues

that kept sabotaging his opportunities for success ldquoI thought I let that gordquo he told me in frustration

What does ldquoletting gordquo mean When a project or an aspiration doesnrsquot play out the way we want itrsquos normal to feel disappointment sadness anger and even depression Painful emotions can make us want to shut down This is a very common survival reflex By ignoring our feelings we deny their importance Just like cleaning out the closet by shoving everything in and slamming the door shut Sooner or later you have to deal with it Unresolved issues are likely to keep creating similar challenges If we take time to truly ldquofeelrdquo our feelings and take responsibility for our part in creating the situation or challenge we can come to a place of acceptance and surrender and truly let go Letting go makes you feel free lighter and ultimately peaceful just like after spring-cleaning when you can open the closet and feel good

If we keep blaming something or someone else we stay stuck As we take responsibility for our feelings and our part in the situation the healing begins It is equally important to acknowledge factors beyond our control We can then begin the surrender process and self-forgiveness Taking time to discover and embrace the lessons will help you make better choices in future situations and also help in letting go If you cannot see the lesson immediately give yourself time Facing ourselves honestly and staying open to feelings when we are in pain takes great strength and bravery It is in this challenging process that we acquire emotional

spiritual muscles ldquoIt takes great learning to understand that all things events encounters and circumstances are helpful ~ A Course in Miracles

Herersquos a simple Yoga Meditation for a peaceful mind to help you process and ldquoLet Gordquo

Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor with a straight spine (leaning against a wall can help) Slow down your breathing and close your eyes

bull Create a triangle with the tips of the middle fingers together and the tips of the thumbs together with the pinkie and ring fingers curled into the palm

bull Bend the index fingers so that they touch each other at the middle joint Stretch thumbs toward you middle fingers point away

bull Bend your elbows hands level with your heart about 4 inches from your chest forearms are parallel to the ground

bull Inhale gently hold your breath and mentally repeat 21 times I am or I am Peace

bull Exhale and mentally repeat the same phrase 11 to 21 times Within three minutes your mind will become tranquil

bull To end focus on your heart breathing in Peace breathing out Peace as you relax your hands

bull Think about something you feel grateful for Dwelling in that gratitude begin to feel compassion in your heart and embrace yourself your feelings and the individuals around the situation bothering you without getting into ldquothe storyrdquo Just feel compassion Allow your emotional waters to gently wash over you just like spring showers and take responsibility for your feelings

You can start practicing for one minute and gradually build up to three minutes Remember that only limiting thoughts can limit your life Feel the joy as you truly begin to let go Breathe in Gratitude- Live in Joy

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Denise Vore has a bachelorrsquos and masterrsquos degree in biology She graduated from a four-year acupuncture school in Colorado and has practiced for over 10 years Denise is certified by the Oregon Medical Board and currently practices out of the Jacksonville Chiropractic Clinic She can be reached at 541-261-8854

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Controlling Your Blood Pressure and Reducing Your Risk of Stroke is Just a Check Away

May is the month to raise awareness on multiple health issues It is High Blood Pressure

Education Month and Stroke Awareness Month Both are leading causes of death in the United States and both can lead to serious medical complications As a nationally certified primary stroke center and part of the largest telestroke network in Oregon Providence Medford Medical Center is helping raise awareness of the connection between good blood pressure and good health

ldquoI need to get your blood pressurehelliprdquo is a common phrase at the start of any medical checkup But what does it really mean

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood moving through your arteries as it is carried from your heart to the rest of your body It is measured with two numbers for example 12080 The top number systolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries when your heart contracts or beats The bottom number diastolic pressure measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed and is filling with blood between beats High blood pressure is 14090 or greater

According to the American Heart Association one in three adults in the US suffer from long-term high blood pressuremdashcalled primary or ldquoessentialrdquo hypertensionmdashand 90 to 95 percent of adult cases have no identifiable cause Hypertension can be influenced by many sources including stress and certain medications such as antidepressants birth control pills and over-the-counter pain relievers High sodium diets high caffeine intake pregnancy and a sudden increase in exercise intensity can also contribute Left unchecked hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke In fact people with untreated high blood pressure are four times more likely to have a stroke Hypertension can also increase the risk of damage to your eyes blood vessels and kidneys

Known as a ldquosilent killerrdquo hypertension has no symptoms but there are many known risks Everyone should get his or her blood pressure checked on a regular basis If you can put a checkmark next to any of the following conditions you may be at an increased risk for high blood pressure

bull Overweight or obesebull Smokerbull Little or no exercisebull Too much salt in your dietbull African American or Hispanic

Latinoabull Drinking too much alcoholbull High stressbull Family history of hypertensionAge ethnicity family history and

gender can also affect a personrsquos risk for having a stroke The more risk factors that you have the greater your chance of developing hypertension or suffering a stroke

The good news is that hypertension can be reduced and controlled through diet exercise and sometimes with the addition of medications to control hypertension

Most anyone may start a low intensity exercise routine of walking 30-60 minutes each day but it is recommended to check

with your physician first if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or if you plan to start a moderate to high intensity exercise program

Eat a healthy diet that is rich in whole grains fruits and vegetables and includes low-fat low-cholesterol foods Be a smart shopper by avoiding junk food and decreasing the amount of processed foods that you buy Reduced caffeine intake can also help lower your blood pressure Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others Check your blood pressure before and within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of coffee If it increases by more than five points after drinking one cup you may have caffeine sensitivity that spikes your blood pressure You may need to moderate your caffeine intake

Start monitoring your blood pressure at home and have regular check-ups with your health care provider Right now National High Blood Pressure Education Month is the perfect time to learn more about your own blood pressure and how controlling it protects your heart and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes

Middle Age is for the Birds

Expecting a new baby Pregnancy is an exciting time and acupuncture can make it even more enjoyable Acupuncture is a safe and highly effective treatment for expecting mothers

How can acupuncture be used in pregnancy The number one most effective acupuncture treatment is turning a breech baby With approximately two office visits and some treatment at home the uterus can be stimulated to turn the baby Statistically acupuncture is successful in turning a breech baby in approximately 85+ of the cases Mothers that are afraid of needles can be treated with heat and moxa (a warming herb) The ideal time to treat is the 33rd week of pregnancy or after In conventional medicine a breech presentation requires a caesarian section which is much more painful and expensive The average cost of a caesarian section delivery is well over $2000 The cost of a couple of acupuncture treatments is less than $200

Pregnancy is a time of many changes and these changes require a lot of energy Acupuncture is highly effective in increasing a motherrsquos energy both before and after birth The acupuncture Law of MotherChild states that if the mother is not energetic healthy balanced and happy the baby and family suffer It is difficult to feel energetic after pregnancy birth and post-partum feedings Acupuncture can restore energy and balance

Other commonly used acupuncture treatments during pregnancy include decreasing morning sickness relieving constipation increasing sleep and inducing labor Acupuncturists have been treating mothers for thousands of years One of my favorite acupuncture points (Kidney 9) is often called the ldquobeautiful baby pointrdquo

Acupuncture and PregnancyBy Denise Vore MS LAc

One of the more interesting phenomena of middle age is the

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

recognition of just how very stupid you have been up to this halfway point Lets be honest

in your teens youre simply an ass in your twenties you think yourself invincible in your thirties you still entertain the idea that it will be like this for decades to come Then finally in your forties you began to get a glimpse over the hill that you didnt realize you were climbing and a dawning awareness begins to arise Until 45 or so most of us feel like we really have our stuff together we think were brilliant and special and unlike those other sad people we are never going to have flappy upper arms or wear stupid-looking pajamas or talk about our tendonitis Wersquore not going to eat dinner at 5 and be in bed by 830 Not us

My late 40s has been a wonderful and humbling experience I now know for example why my parents wanted to sit down at 5 oclock and have a drink I understand this in a way I never did before because I am there Judgment is being supplanted by empathy The parenting business an obvious one for discovering ones youthful arrogance but other more subtle situations illuminate my former hubris

For example I used to think that a fondness for birds and bird watching was sort of sad something lonely people did in lieu of having real pets and real relationships Lately however I sit on my front porch in the predawn darkness in my pathetic pajamas wrapped in a blanket with my mug of tea and I listen to the dawn songs of mourning doves robins wild turkeys and owls and I realize now how very important they are The birds remind me of the perfection of being Unlike

humans they dont try They are not out to impress not encumbered by fear and judgment and doubt they just are themselves I listen to their songs smiling and silently apologizing for my former arrogance

Its good to wake up but its a real blow to the ego The psychologist Carl Jung said that every defeat for the ego is a victory for the Self as ego shrinks our real selfmdashthe part of us that is divine and eternalmdashgrows This is a good thing but the process is no picnic To get to that higher Self the ego has to take a few in the keester You have to get rid of

all the junk youve piled up in order to feel safe and smart You have to be humbled and age is nothing if not humbling

Ironically it is this ego defeat that opens us to our real power Not having to appear smart you can become wise Being able

to say I dont know is incredibly liberating it opens you up to the fullness of lifes potential removing the limitations we unwittingly place on ourselves in our youth I dont know and I dont have to know I can be interested I can be open I can wonder I can see what unfolds I dont know it all and I never did and I never will Bliss

I just turned 49 thank you and the view from here is pretty amazing I have tendonitis and I wear old sweats and my day is just not right without a few minutes on the porch with my bird friends Im less preoccupied about what I have and more concerned with what I am sharing I get it now Itrsquos only and always about singing your song

Some recent changes have been made in Jackson County in regards to the

licensing requirements of dogs and our role as veterinarians I wanted to make sure that our clients are aware of this change so there are no surprises at your next veterinary visit Though we at Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital may disagree with this change like other veterinarians in the County we will now be required to report

Effective May 20 2013 veterinarians working in Jackson County will be required to report all canine rabies vaccinations to Jackson County Animal Services The goal of this program is to increase the number of licensed dogs in the County which is currently estimated to be only around 40 We will have 60 days to report when a vaccine has been administered At this point the County will check their licensing database to see if your pet has been licensed Clients without a current license will then be sent a notice explaining licensing requirements in the County the benefits of licensing and the need to obtain the required license to avoid a citation

Benefits of licensing your dog include it acts as a life-saving form of identification it helps get your pet

returned to you safely and quickly it is a record that your pet is vaccinated against rabies and it provides revenue to fund local animal services Fees and penalties to ldquobail outrdquo an unlicensed dog start at approximately $180 In comparison a three year license for a spayed or neutered dog in Jackson County is only $4900

As a way to reward responsible dog owners the County has recently developed a ldquoFree Ride Homerdquo program As many of you know dogs are great at finding an open gate or door and heading out to explore the world If your licensed dog is found by an Animal Control Officer the officer will attempt to return your dog free of charge Or if your dog ends up at the Shelter the first nightrsquos stay is free of charge

While the recent changes may cause a few headaches I think overall that the program is well intended Again I wanted to make sure that our clients and other local pet owners are kept up to date so as not to be surprised when they next visit If you have further questions you can certainly call the Jacksonville Veterinary Hospital and we will do our best to answer them or you can call Jackson County Animal Services directly

In late March Grant and dr Susan Konecny transferred ownership of their successful mobile veterinary clinic Home Pet vet to dr Julie Tavares The Konecnyrsquos whorsquove lived in Jacksonville for ten years explained ldquoIt has been almost five years to the day since Home Pet Vet began operating our small animal mobile service We have grown considerably since then caring for over 1000 pets and 400 clientsrdquo

Dr Konecny has been struggling with tendon problems in both of her hands and elbows a serious condition which has been aggravated over the years by repetitive use As a result she said ldquoI am being forced to consider surgery at this time due to chronic discomfort and pain In addition to these physical concerns my husband Grant and I have aging parents with whom we feel the need to spend significantly more timerdquo

Fortunately Susan and Julie met while working together on a veterinary board they both serve on ldquoJulie is someone Grant and I felt was the ideal candidate to take over the Home Pet Vet mobile servicerdquo Susan said

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Dr Tavares has been a veterinarian in the Rogue Valley since she graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 She grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in many places before settling in Southern Oregon with her husband Duward Since doing

so the couple have had two children Carmen 4 and Vera 2 Tavares notes ldquoDuring my years here I have worked in Grants Pass and Medford as a small animal veterinarian In 2009 I began holding monthly clinics for pets of

people experiencing homelessness in Grants Pass Eventually my volunteer work led to the start of Homeless Oregon Pet Project a nonprofit that provides basic veterinary care to the pets of the homeless in Grants Pass and Medfordrdquo

Prior to vet school Tavares earned a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Delaware and did a two-year stint with the Peace Corps in Guatemala working with indigenous Mayan families ldquoI had

a wonderful experience and learned much about the Mayan culture and myselfhellipand also met Duward who was a volunteer from the next town overrdquo

Dr Konecny knows she will miss all of her clients and their pets dearly but knows shersquos leaving HPV in great hands ldquoJulie has excellent medical skills knowledge standards and compassion that will serve you and your pets very well Grant and I hope you will welcome her as you welcomed us these past five yearsrdquo

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park

Trail Talkby Tony Hess and Bob Budesa

There are a few new items wersquod like to bring to your attention First of all there is a new bridge

in Forest Park You donrsquot have to wade across Jackson Creek to get to the Old Miners Trail from the Rail Trail

The next item(s) are trail signs Kevin Kuhn is a Boy Scout in hot pursuit of his Eagle Scout badge and as such has built and installed signs throughout most of the Woodland trails to keep people from getting lost He had quite a crew of helpers who dug holes buried posts and affixed signs at most of the intersections Wersquore certainly grateful to Kevin and his crew for their hard work and dedication

This nice weather is certainly making it difficult to stay indoors isnrsquot it Itrsquos great seeing so many people out enjoying the trails with friends and their dogs Speaking of dogs itrsquos equally nice to see so many of them on leashes Hopefully before long we can count on everyonersquos favorite friend being controlled

Ever wondered about the difference between the trails in the Woodlands and the trails in the Forest Park The Woodlands trails are by now very comfortable for most to navigate with easy hiking on mostly moderate slopes (a few exceptions) They vary in elevation from 1590 feet to 2190 feet The Forest

Park trails start at 1950 feet elevation at the kiosk and Rail Trail and climb to 3300 feet elevation on the Jackson Ridge Trail For those whorsquove not hiked there yet yoursquore in for a pleasant surprise The Forest Park hiking experience can either be a stroll up the almost flat Rail Trail or hike alongside a stream up the Canyon Falls Trail and come to the Canyon Vista trail head Canyon Vista is a flat trail for 15 miles with awesome views from an elevation of 2600 feet and the views go all the way down the canyons and off to the east beyond Medford With relatively fewer hikers the Forest Park hikers can be alone with their thoughts and nature

Donrsquot miss an opportunity to visit the Forest park trails Theyrsquore a totally different experience for the adventurer who seeks the quiet solitude and beauty of our city parks trails

The Applegate Trails Association (ATA) invites you on a flower-filled hike on the Applegate Ridge Trail (ART) and the boundary of the proposed Wellington Wild Lands With cooperative weather we are guaranteed breathtaking views into the Applegate Valley Thompson Creek and beyond to the distant Red Buttes Look the other direction to view Mt Isabelle Mt McLoughlin and Forest Creek from a whole new vantage point Much of the trail runs along the ridge top on the edge of a vast open meadow sprinkled with oak buck brush mountain mahogany and the occasional big fir tree In the spring waves of grass are overlaid with bursts of blooming wildflowers including California poppy mountain tarweed and the uncommon showy thistle At 3 miles total (out and back) along with 400 feet of elevation change this hike is rated moderate For a few an optional longer and more difficult loop hike will be offered involving a steep trail off the end of the ridge (rated moderate to difficult)

Hikers should wear appropriate layered clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear Remember to bring your camera and water Please leave your pets at home We meet Saturday May 18 900am at the Bunny Meadows Staging Area (intersection of Forest Creek and Longanecker Road)

RSVP is requested Contact the hike leader David Calahan at 541-899-1226 or davidapplegatetrailsorg

Directions to Bunny Meadows Staging Area From Jacksonville travel 49 miles southwest on Hwy 238 (towards Ruch) and turn right on Forest Creek Rd From Ruch travel 28 miles northeast on Hwy 238 (towards Jacksonville) and turn left on Forest Creek Rd The staging area is 710 mile down Forest Creek Road

Each year in April Kiwanis Clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest District take on a community improvement project called ldquoKiwanis One Dayrdquo On April 6th the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club cleaned-up the property at 440 Highway 238 next to the City Maintenance Center where a house had burned down several years ago and had been left an eyesore

The Club contacted the out-of-area owner and obtained written permission to haul the debris to the recycling center Four Kiwanis members and a recent Student of the Month and his father joined forces and the work went fairly smoothly

This was the fourth community project the local Club has been involved in following the motto of helping one child and one community at a time Other projects have included painting a house across from the Post Office painting the eaves of the restroom building next to the library and cooperating with the Boosters Club last year to refurbish the structures at Doc Griffin Park
