The La Pine Fire District Board of Directors has appointed Mike Supkis as the new Fire Chief for La Pine Rural Fire Protection District. He was sworn in during the Board meeting on January 14th, 2010.

The Interim Fire Chief, Dan Daugherty, was available for an interview and explained the goals and obstacles that Supkis will be managing in 2010.

First, the District must fully incorporate its 6 new firefighters and emergency re-sponse personnel into its current staff of 21. This 30% increase in staff was made possi-ble by the property tax levy that was passed in 2009. However, because of the recession, the District waited to hire new firefighters, to see how the economy would go.

Second, they will pay close attention to the financial stability of the District. Daugh-erty explained that the program will need constant evaluation, a close eye on internal process, and feedback from the community in order to be a successful

The Newberry Chapter of Habitat for Humanity is in the process of taking a giant leap forward. The local chapter has located a piece of property on Highway 97 next to the $1 and More Store and is in the process of creating the ReStore LaPine. The pur-pose is to generate funds to further Newberry Habitat’s goal of building decent, afford-able homes for low-income working families living is Southern Deschutes County. The ReStore will raise money selling used furniture, used appliances, used sinks and toilets, used power tools, used electric and hardware supplies, as well as cabinets, lumber, and other building supplies.

The newly formed ReStore Council is being led by Mark Baldwin, Newberry Habi-tat Board Member. He said the “The Council will open the store at 9:30 on Friday, March 5th. The store will then be open each Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9:30 to 5.” We’ve hired Mr. Rolando Alonzo, who along with his wife and children, live in La Pine in a house built by Newberry Habitat volunteers in 2008, to be

This article is meant to shed a little light on a field that will change the world as we know it. No area of science so far has offered the potential that nano offers. That said, however, physics is about to explode in other areas also, with new perspectives on particle physics, dark matter, new energy storage and genera-tion, multiple dimensions and on and on. So hold on to your hats the future is upon us. The term Nano is used and misused in many places. Nano is a contraction for nanometer. A nanometer is 10-9 meters or 0.0000000001 of a meter (a meter is 3.28 feet). This is about three to six atoms, about 1/80,000 of a human hair, a very small distance. We now have super micro-scopes such as the Atomic Force Micro-scope (AFM) and the Scanning Tunneling

Science News

Microscope (STM). With these, we can see each atom and how it interacts with its neighbors. SO what? I heard someone say. When mankind first came out of the caves he used whatever we could find lying around. A stone, a stick, then attach them together, and we have proceeded to create the technology we see today. But these ex-isting materials and modifications of them were merely accidents of chemical evolu-tion which took place on our planet over billions of years. NOW for the time in hu-man evolution we can design up from the individual atoms and molecules into what we want. Up until now we have used all the materials laying around but now for the first time we can make our own mate-rial to our own specifications. This will change the world.

A meeting slated for February 4th, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. at the La Pine Senior Center will promises a new beginning in protecting groundwater in South De-schutes County. You can and should be part of this historic new beginning.

In July 2008, Deschutes County passed an ordinance mandating alternative treat-ment systems to replace standard septic systems and sand filters. Voters over-turned the ordinance in March of 2009. In July 2009, during a joint meeting of De-schutes County Board of Commissioners (BOCC), the Oregon Department of Envi-ronmental Quality (DEQ) and the Depart-ment of Land Conservation and Develop-ment (DLCD) and a panel of concerned citizens, the BOCC requested that DEQ take the lead in further ef-

The City of La Pine now has a fifth City Councilor, his name is Don Greiner. He was appointed to fill the final City Council seat on Dec. 9, 2009. Below is a short Bio and also attached to this e-mail is a photo.

Councilor Donald (Don) Greiner Term expires on 12/1/2012

Donald Greiner grew up on West 18th Street in Eugene, Oregon. He attended Bai-ley Hill Grade School, Woodrow Wilson Junior High School and graduated from Eu-gene High School. After high school, he enrolled in selected classes at the University

of Oregon, Eugene Technical Vocational School (now Lane Community College) and also completed a year at Cascade College in Portland, Oregon.

Mr. Greiner was married in Eugene and also lived and worked in Eugene for several years. Don’s six children were born in Eugene at Sacred Heart Hospital. Mr. Greiner’s family moved to California, where he worked for Jewel Tea Co., Met-ropolitan Insurance Co., and the

Loyal Order of Moose. He joined the Loyal Order of Moose because of a good benefit package and also became involved as a volunteerand later as an officer.

Don Greinerwas hired as Social Quarters Manager and served in that capacity for 15 years in the California Lodges. Because of his success as a Manager, Don was selected by Moose International to fill a position as an auditor. While in that position, Mr. Greiner traveled the southeast for nearly two years before being assigned to the Supreme Secretary’s officein Illinois. At the time of Don’s retirement, he was Chief Deputy Supreme Secretary and part of his duties included supervising thirteen employ-ees in the Supreme Secretary’s office. At the request of Mr. Greiner’s son and daughter, he moved to California to be with family during the illness and death of his grandson and continued to live in California for some time. Mr. Greiner has resided in La Pine since 2004 and plans to spend the rest of his life there.

Since childhood, Don Greiner has had a strong attachment toCentral Oregon and La Pine. Hisfamily spent many weekends camping, fishing and hunting in the area. In the 1960’s Don’s parents purchased about 10 acres with a cabin located on Dorrance Meadow Road which is still owned by his family. The last time that Don, his father, and Don’s two sons spent a weekend together was at their family cabin when Don’soldest son was home on leave from Vietnam. Even after moving from Oregon, the Greiner family spent as much time as they could at the family cabin. u

From La Pine City Councilor- Adele McAfee

Hello, La Pine. My name is Adele McAfee. It has been a privilege to serve as your City Councilor since April 2009. I have been a resident of our town since 2003. I have a B.A. Degree in Law Studies with a paralegal certificate. Currently, I work for the City of Bend in Public Works Administration.

Our political system is unique in that each and every Council person brings an individual per-spective to the table. In this ar-ticle, I would like to give you my personal perspective on the City’s current and ongoing projects, where I hope the city is headed, and what we might accomplish in the future. An informed public is an inte-gral part of our political process.

The biggest and perhaps most exciting news is that the Council reached a con-sensus on the hiring of a City Manager. A great deal of meeting time and organiza-tional assessment was necessary to arrive at this decision. Now, the hard work really begins:

What qualifications and level of experience will be required?What will be the salary structure and compensation package?Where will the funding come from to pay for this important and much needed posi-

tion? How will it affect the tax payers? The Council has set an informal deadline of July 2010 for the hiring of a City Man-

ager and, though this may seem slow, we are moving as quickly as the process allows. We heard you wanted a city manager at the Town Hall meeting and

have responded to that request.The importance of serving our community to the best of our abilities has led the council to another decision. We have concluded that additional training in civic responsibilities would be of great benefit to our greater understanding of our role as your representa-tives A training session will be held Tuesday, February 16th and this meeting is open for public observation.

Another major accomplishment of your Council is that the City of La Pine Com-prehensive Plan final draft is nearing completion. At the last Council meeting, our con-sultants, DMC/Foreterra LLC, presented text changes and a revised map reflecting the City’s Planning Commission recommendations. Kudos to all for their hard work and attention to this difficult but important process. The text changes and updated map will be available for public review and comments, so take advantage and let us know what you think. The next public hearing for the final draft will be Feb. 10th.

Coming up soon – The La Pine City Council will be considering an ordinance requiring businesses within the city limits to obtain a city business license. This ordinance was passed by a past Council but the actual nuts and bolts have never been worked out. This Council is committed to making a decision one way or another. In my opinion this ordinance needs work. It has regulatory aspects that the City is not in the position to enforce with current staffing and limited resources. I think it will be im-portant to work with the business community on all these issues until we are all on the same page. Remember, your voices are important; your concerns are relevant. Come to the meetings, participate in the process and speak out for what you want. We are here for you and it is important you are involved.

If you have any questions or want to obtain any copies of the documents mentioned, please call City Hall at 541-536-1432.

If you would like to contact me, you can call 541-536-5773 or email amcafee@ci.la-pine.or.us.

An informed community is an asset to the political process. If you have enjoyed this article, let me know. Perhaps this can be an ongoing forum for questions and answers about current events and issues….See you at the City Council Meetings! u

emergency response service. He wants to consider input from the Board as well as the public when planning for the future of the District.

Daugherty served as Interim Fire Chief until Chief Supkis was hired. His focus is on maintaining and improving processes - or the way the District runs itself - so that it can become an efficient, well-oiled machine. With Operations Management experi-ence, Daugherty is an expert at developing and implementing operational processes. He plans to stay on as Assistant Fire Chief.

La Pine Rural Fire Protection District currently has 21 firefighting staff , 4 volun-teer fire fighters, and 12 additional support service volunteers. They also staff 6 office employees.

The Support Service Volunteers assist with firefighter rehabilitation at response sites. Originally a Ham Radio group, they are able to provide the District with emer-gency communication in critical situations. They also help with firefighter supplies during fires, and office staff administrative duties.

Volunteer OpportunitiesLPRFPD relies on people in the La Pine Volunteer Fire Association, which was

formed in 1968, to handle emergency response situations. A volunteer fire fighter must go through a selection process and then train as a beginning fire fighter.

Visit www.lapinefire.org/volunteer.html for more information.Goals

The Fire District will pursue the following goals during the 2010/11 fiscal year: 1. Maintain financial stability during the current recession and evaluate programs

while being receptive and responsive to the critical needs of the District. 2. Build processes to enhance existing short and long-term strategic planning. 3. Enhance care and development of District members to provide for personal, pro-

fessional, and organizational growth. 4. Build processes to create a solid facility plan while maintaining and improving

existing facilities. 5. Augment volunteer participation and services. 6. Establish a community relations strategy for strengthening community aware-

ness, relations, and FireMed Subscription programs.

Chief Supkis and his wife Heidi enjoy home and outdoor activities with their golden retriever, Cedar. They look forward to making La Pine their home. They enjoy home projects and gardening along with many outdoor pursuits such as hiking, canoeing, and winter sports.

About 20 years ago, Mike and Heidi knew they wanted to move to La Pine. Now they have met that goal. They have vacationed here often over the years with the boys, They love to ski Mt. Bachelor. Enjoy touring the Cascade lakes Loop, camping and fishing at Devils Lake . They are thankful after a wonderful Alaskan adventure they are ready for the next stage. Now it’s all about “Quality of Life”

Anyone interested in making a donation can call the Newberry Habitat office at (541) 593-5005 to make arrangements to either drop off donated items, or if they are too large to deliver, have one of our volunteers come to your home to pick them up.”

The other thing interested South Deschutes County citizens can do is volunteer to help with staffing the ReStore. There are numerous volunteer opportunities and the ReStore is looking for individuals willing to work a minimum shift of four hours per month. No previous experience is necessary.

Stop! This title may sound boring to you, but I say: “Community Involvement in La Pine is exciting.” There is so much happening in La Pine and the surrounding areas. Our city still seems new, committees are forming, new businesses are moving in, and people are living their dreams, here.

Did you know that we now have a Habi-tat for Humanity ReStore? Rolando Alonzo is the new manager and a very nice gentle-man. I understand that he has been helped by Habitat for Humanity. He brings a grate-ful and industrious attitude to La Pine.

There was a volunteer fair at the Senior Center. As nonprofit orgaizations set up their tables and got ready for their presenta-tions, a warm and comforting feeling was felt in the air. These givers of the commu-nity filled the room. I was amazed by the nametags that were handed out.

Instead of writing nametags with our names on it, we got to choose nametags that

said things like “Grateful”, “Energizing” and “Giver”. Wow! I can’t even think of all of them. Kudos to the lady that thought of these: Peggy Boone. She was also the Master of Ceremonies. Peggy has volunteered a lot in La Pine. The fair was a lot of fun. We also got prizes, and if your nametag was called, you got a moment at the mic to talk about why you chose “Grateful” or “Energizing”, or whatever you chose. I heard a lot of people talking from the heart.

Speaking of the heart, I would like to say that we have a great team. As you can see on page 5, we have a new team member, Wendy Korn. She will be the newshound for the community. Community involvement will be her charge. She is a real go-getter and will be snooping around meetings, organizations, making phone calls and looking for the news. We are so grateful to have her join The Newberry Eagle. I am also excited about Cat Culpepper and all that she brings to the table. She brings the cities South of La Pine – from Gilchrist to Klamath Falls, and even East to Oakridge. She has been travelling around distributing papers, gathering articles, selling ads, and telling people about the Eagle in that area. They don’t have a newspaper between Klamath Falls and La Pine. Oakridge is thrilled about the expansion of the Eagle. I am also excited about Jenny Nordstrand and work she does here.

Jenny will be bumping up the advertising with her new goals, so watch out! She is very proactive and plans to scour the area to bring new advertisers on board. She has done well with building relationships with clients. That is in alignment with the Eagle’s objectives - build customer relations. And, there are more movers and shakers behind the scenes at The Newberry Eagle.

We also have a Process Specialist, Cathy Oles from CEO Bookkeeping +, who works to keep us organized. She takes care of making sure everything is paid, invoiced, and records are kept. She is excellent at what she does. Process planning is her special-ity. With these functions, operations are expected to go smoothly. And, we also have another behind the scenes.

Our webmaster is Michael Card. He will be giving NewberryEagle.com more value. We are adding blogs that will allow the community to get involved and post their com-ments about articles in the paper. Michael is a MAC and Customer Service Tech for Apple and brings us new ideas for the website. We have plans to redesign the website and make it more valuable to the community.

This community has given so very much to The Newberry Eagle over the years. Writers, contributors, photographers, staff, and volunteers from the community have really shared their passion in this newspaper. I can’t list everyone here, there are so many. I can feel the warmth from this kind of giving as I write this. I want to tell you, that if you have contributed in some way to The Newberry Eagle, and are reading this, please know that I thank you personally for what you have done. April 3rd we will have an open house celebration at the new digs (John C Johnson Center) and I can meet you. I would like to say to the community, if you have not volunteered for something, just consider giving a couple of hours to an organization.

So, jump in! Get involved in this community. Follow your passion, and help out an organization that you enjoy. For more information, give us a call at 541-536-3972. u

Rosland Elementary School, La Pine’s newest Elementary School

The Bend La Pine School Board voted unanimously at their January 12th Board Meeting to name La Pine’s newest elementary school: Rosland Elementary School. Rosland was one of three names submitted by the Naming Committee for the new La Pine elementary school. The Naming Committee includes La Pine business and com-munity members, representatives from the La Pine elementary and middle schools, par-ents, and the La Pine Area Advisory Board. Names for the new school were solicited from the community through the Bend La Pine Schools website survey, via e-mail and postal mail. Students from the three La Pine area schools were also surveyed for their favorite names.

Over 175 names were suggested designating geographic places, people and things. The committee met during the months of November and December and submitted three possible names to the Bend La Pine School Board:

• Newberry Elementary – for the Newberry Volcanic Monument, a geological treasure of the La Pine area.

• Paulina Peak Elementary – visible throughout La Pine, is a symbol of beauty, strength and character.

• Rosland – the name of a community established near the site of the new elementary school that eventually moved and became the city of La Pine.

The Naming Committee will hold meetings in February to select the school’s mascot and colors. Rosland Elementary School is slated to open in September, 2010. u

La Pine Teen CenterLa Pine Parks and Recreation and the La Pine Community Action Team have re-

ceived grant funding to assist with the planning and concept design process for creation of the La Pine Teen Center and to make improvements to the White School Building. The teams will be interviewing potential architects in late January and plan to have community input design forums in early February. The teams have begun the process of applying for a Community Schools Grant to fund operation of the teen center. The grant, along with local donations, would provide operating capital to operate the teen center for the next three years.

The first public meeting will be held in the La Pine High School Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, February 10th. The meeting will introduce the project, gather ideas and information on the building project and youth programs, and provide prelimi-nary feedback on cost estimates and timelines.

We hope to see as many of you there as possible to support this important project! u

2010? I don’t know what our future holds for this year. If I think hard enough it can be quite depressing; but I have chosen to take walks this winter and enjoy the snow. I’m choosing to see the beauty that sur-rounds us. I want to try and love others as much as I love myself. I want to hear children’s laughter floating on a snowflake through my neighborhood and watch them play and see their rosy red cheeks glow-ing, their beautiful smiles. That is the future. God help me to choose the good things that You have blessed us with and not to worry about the things that I cannot change. Help me to help others. u

I don’t know about you but there was a time in my life when the thought of 2010 was scary! The old movies that I watched as a child...like the world ran by robots (they all wanted to kill you) aliens running all over the place (they wanted to eat you or use your body to live in). Everyone flew some kind of flying machine or a car that would take them for a ride in-stead of you taking the car for a ride. It is nice to know that I can still go where ever I want in my car, funny I was going to say, my car doesn’t talk to me, but I guess they do. Gee it can even tell me how to get there, of course, that doesn’t mean it will be the safest route! Ha! Its also nice to know that we don’t have to walk around in some kind of space suit and that the air is not going to melt us and devour our skin. No, for the most part the year of 2010 has been different; but not anything like I would have thought 30 years ago. This week I drove my car and saw the most beautiful country. Lakes that were crystal clear. Snow covered mountains. Green grass, yes, the grass in Oakridge was green. Nothing like what was predicted for our future years ago.

The Newberry Eagle: Wendy Korn – Joining us from Austin, Texas

This month is supposed to be the month of “love” with it being Valentine’s Day. This is a great holiday and I person-ally don’t mind getting flowers and going out to a nice restaurant where I get to dress up. However, I always get a little hesitant when it comes to that “special day” on February 14th.

I love the idea behind Valentine’s Day, but just the idea. The way I see it, why should we have only one specific day to show that special someone you love them? Especially when it is a day that everyone else is doing the same thing! You should randomly show that special someone you love and care for them no matter what day or time of day it is just because you want to, not because someone else tells you too.

I am not trying to get you down and discouraged about Valentine’s Day at all, I am just trying to question the fact. Why is it that on just one day of the year we buy flowers and cards for someone? Why is it that we don’t do it throughout the year just because we feel like it? Something to

I visited La Pine, Sunriv-er, and Bend during Christ-mas and by the end of the week, I didn’t want to leave. A feeling of melancholy had come over me when I real-ized I would have to leave the comfort of the tall pine trees around me and return to Austin for one more month before moving here. I would be in limbo for 30 days, then pack up my things and drive a truck halfway across the country.

According the Google Maps, the distance between Austin and La Pine is about 2,200 miles, or 1.5 days of non-stop driving. The plan is to drive with my dad, taking turns at the tiller, then stop in Los Angeles to visit with some relatives. I’m looking forward to the second leg of the trip, where we start travelling north from L.A. and wind along the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway. The long journey will give me time to let go of Austin. By now, the city has grown on me like vines covering a castle. Four days on the road will help cut away at those vines, slowly, and gently.

Austin is known as the Music Capital of the World, primarily because it’s the capital of Texas and the bar owners along sixth street can easily get a band to play any night of the week, even for free. Ev-erybody there has either been in a band or knows somebody in a band. I even dipped my hands into the scene when I sang in a trip-hop trio for a few months, then DJ’ed in dance clubs for about a year. That was my heyday. Austin was my stomping ground for my mid to late twenties.

The city of just over 700,000 residents lies north-south, divided by a river that runs just south of downtown. The river is actually a reservoir of water from the Col-orado River that runs so slowly it has been dubbed a lake, or “Lady Bird Lake”.

Like any big city, there is always something to do and see- and Austin is famous for viewing the bats that emerge from under the Congress Avenue Bridge at night in the summer months as well as bar-hopping along its infamous 6th Street until 2 am.

To describe Austin in a few words it’s: Laid back. Lush. Hot. Flat. Yes, flat

From Austinite to Oregonian

- there are no mountains for which to gaze upon when driving around town. Its wide open skies can be frightening to a young woman right out of college who is trying to live an independent and successful life. When I was offered a job nearly 10 years ago, the terrain wasn’t the deciding factor here- it was the monetary offer that sealed the deal. Now, almost 10 years later I’m going to enjoy a change of scenery.

I’m looking forward to learning all of the mountain peaks surrounding La Pine. I’d like to be able to memorize each one like my parents do and point to them and say, “The view from that one is breath-taking”. Of course, I have to get to the top of them to stake that claim.

My next challenge is to learn about Central Oregon and its affairs. I’m starting my position as a new writer and editor for the Newberry Eagle, which I have found to be the most important news source for people around La Pine. I plan to collect important news events in the area and recap them to readers. Even though it’s a monthly publication, I’ll do my best to keep you all (in Texas, that’s “ya’ll”) up to date with current events, new land devel-opment, and interviews from key players in the neighborhood.Feel free to write to me with comments and questions: wendy@newberryeagle.com u

As an investor, you might wonder what the new year has in store for you. While economic and market forces are, as always, somewhat unpredictable, the overall outlook is generally favorable — and by making the right moves, you can further improve your chances of making 2010 a good year for your portfolio.

And one of the best moves you can make is to stay invested. If you had jumped out of the market during the long downturn from late 2007 through March 2009, you would have missed quite a rally. In fact, the Dow Jones Industrial Average staged a considerable comeback from its March lows, climbing 61.1 percent in 2009. The S & P 500 rose 66.7 percent off of its low.

Still, it’s unlikely that we’ll experi-ence returns in this neighborhood for 2010. Although we may see reasonably strong growth in corporate earnings — a key driver of stock prices — stocks are no longer as undervalued as they were when the rally began.

However, although we still face some significant issues, such as high unemploy-ment and tight credit, most experts predict that the economic recovery will continue in 2010, though not at a sizzling pace. And a growing economy is usually good news for investors.

Of course, despite the potentially fa-vorable investment environment, there’s always the possibility of bumps in the road. To protect yourself, consider taking these steps:

• Stick with “buy and hold.” Despite some claims that “buy-and-hold” is no longer a viable investment strategy given today’s volatile markets, it worked pretty well for those investors who were patient enough to ride out the bear market. Con-tinue looking for quality investments and holding them until they no longer meet your needs or until the fundamentals of

the investments themselves change. • Own some short-term investments.

During the long bear market, short-term investments, particularly cash, held up better than most other assets. Yet many investors had too little cash in their port-folios. Don’t make that mistake. Keep an appropriate amount of cash for your age, income level, risk tolerance and long-term goals.

• Consider adding fixed-income invest-ments. By owning some fixed-income ve-hicles, such as bonds, you can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. And if you hold your bonds until maturity, which is often a wise move, you can rely on them for a source of steady income. As always, make sure you understand the risks before investing.

• Watch for changes in investment taxes. In the coming year, the tax rate may increase for long-term capital gains and stock dividends. If that happens, you may need to review your investment mix. However, even if the long-term capital gains rate rises, you’ll still likely be better off holding quality investments for many years, thereby giving them the time to po-tentially overcome short-term price vola-tility. And even if taxes rise on dividends, dividend-paying stocks, with their ability to provide both income and growth poten-tial, can be a valuable part of your port-folio. (Keep in mind, though, that compa-nies may reduce or eliminate dividends at any time.)

No one can say for sure what 2010 will bring to the investment world. But by preparing your investment strategy for a range of possibilities, and by mak-ing changes as needed, you can make this a year of progress toward your important financial goals.

tify the best, highest quality cycling routes in the state; and the vision of the Wyden Committee, to connect the towns of De-schutes County with a single, great cy-cling route.

The Sunriver-La Pine Loop would come down Huntington Road to La Pine, with opportunities for side excursions to the Newberry Caldera and La Pine State Park with overnight camping accommoda-tions at either. The designated track brings bikers through the heart of Downtown La Pine on Huntington Rd, past the Rodeo Grounds, out 6th street and back up Dor-rance Meadows to Burgess. Then return to Sunriver via Day Rd/State Park Rec Rd/Huntington Roads.

Cycling has emerged as a major driver of tourism, which represents a $570 Mil-lion Industry in Central Oregon. 34% of summer visitors will participate in cycling vs 15% for golf, 15% for fishing and 21% for camping (see RRC Research, Visit Bend). Almost every business in the re-gion is impacted at some level by tourism. La Pine has been a favorite stopping over place for the Cycle Oregon events, which will be even more appealing with a desig-nated Scenic Bikeway through our town.

In 2008 Senator Ron Wyden ap-pointed the De-schutes county Ad Hoc Com-mittee on Rec-reation Assets, formed to pro-pose an agenda

for improving the recreation opportunities in Deschutes Count. In their recommen-dations, the committee identified the op-portunity for a regional bikeway, stating that “relatively minor projects and efforts could dramatically increase the region’s attractiveness for recreational cycling, increasing tourism and attracting greater participation by county residents. A con-certed effort could enhance the connectiv-ity between the triangle communities of Bend, Sisters, and Redmond, as well as tie in the Sunriver and La Pine south county areas.”

The Three Sisters Scenic Bikeway pro-posal is the result of a remarkable collabo-ration of individuals working in regional groups in Sisters, Redmond, Bend and Sunriver-La Pine.

Ted is a native Oregonian who was born in Portland and raised in rural (at that time) Lake Grove. He attended West Linn High for 3 years and was the first graduating class at Lake Oswego High.

Following graduation, he attended the University of Utah and graduated with a degree in Theapuetic Recreation. During that period of time, he did a stint in the Army as an electronic trouble shooter on a 75mm anti-aircraft gun. He met his wife, Lorraine during those years and they were married in Modesto, California. After graduating from college, he went to work for the state of California as Supervisor of Rehabilitation Services in Psychiatric hospitals for 7 years.

He and his family ( wife Lorraine, son Todd and daughter Deb) then moved to North Da-kota where Ted was Department head in a Psychiatric Hospital for ten years. While there, Ted was active in community affairs and wrote several grants for the hospital obtaining funds for constructing and staffing a Vocational Rehabilitation Work Evaluation-Work Training facility

and an Indoor-Outdoor swimming pool. He also wrote a grant to establish a community crisis intervention center.After reaching all of his goals at the hospital, Ted and his family along with a partner purchased and ran a guest

ranch in West Glacier Montana. They developed and ran the ranch until their partner decided they needed to sell.Ted discovers that he enjoyed the hospitality field and owned and managed for large corporations restraints and

hotels and resorts.Ted and his wife, Lorraine moved to La Pine in 1987 when they purchased a restaurant in Sunriver. They sold

that in 1992 and became Realtors. Ted has been selling Real Estate here since then. He sells not only Residential, but also Commercial, Industrial and Timberlands.

Throughout Ted’s adult life, he has maintained a philosophy of giving back to the community in which he lives Ted has been a member of numerous community organizations such as: LCAT, La Pine Industrial Group, the incor-poration attempt in 2001, La Pine Community Campus, COCC Advisory Committee, Sheriff’s Advisory Council, Executive Director of La Pine Chamber, Chamber Board of Directors, Chamber Economic Development Commit-tee, and the Frontier Days Board of Directors.

It’s not a popular topic of conversation, but we are getting older each minute and many of us will need some additional care during our senior years.

According to the Underwriter’s Long Term Life Council, your chance of being in-volved in an auto accident is one in 240. Your chance of having a house fire is one in 1,200. Your chance for requiring long term care is one in two. That pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?

As you can imagine, long term care is not cheap. According to the latest survey by one of the most comprehensive and respected surveys in the industry, in 2008 the aver-age annual cost for a semiprivate room in a nursing home is $68,255 and $76,285 for a private room1. Those costs translate to an average of $187 per day for a semiprivate room and $209 per day for a private room. These numbers will continue to rise.

We can’t depend on Medicare; the odds are good that it will pay only a fraction of nursing home costs you incur. At most, it will help cover the costs for the first 100 days of skilled care. Before we become eligible for Medicaid, we may need to use up most of our own assets.

Most of us would rather deny we will need long term care, but denial is not the an-swer. Securing long term care insurance is the best thing we can do to ease our minds and conserve our life savings. Furthermore, it’s a good idea to obtain a policy early (you can get a policy as young as age 18) because the annual premium payments are lower and it’s easier to qualify for a policy.

Long term care insurance can pay the cost should you need to spend some time in a nursing home. But possibly the most important benefit of long term care insurance is that it may keep you out of a nursing home.

That’s right. A good long term care policy not only pays the cost of a nursing home. It also covers the cost of other care, including nursing services, home health care, hos-

pice, licensed therapy, adult day care and homemaker services.These services can provide someone to make meals and do laundry; they can pro-

vide assistance with bathing, dressing and other daily personal care needs; they can provide physical therapy at home, and more.

By covering the cost of other services, long term care insurance can eliminate or, at the very least, postpone the need for nursing home care.

You may also be able to use the benefits provided by a long term care policy more than once. Let’s say you broke a bone, which required a short nursing home stay or eight weeks of in-home physical therapy. Once you have satisfied the elimination pe-riod, your long term care policy would pay the cost of that short-term care, as well as care you may need in the future.

Long term care insurance can help ease our minds, but it is important to understand not all long term care policies are alike.

Some cover the cost of only nursing home care and others cover both nursing home and in-home care. Some offer tax-free benefits, while others provide premium dis-counts if policies are purchased for both a husband and wife. The better policies offer all of these options and more.

When looking for a long term care policy, it’s important to do business with a fi-nancially-secure organization. To find a policy that is right for you, it’s important to consider all the options, such as deductible period, daily benefits, maximum lifetime benefit and inflation protection.

Don’t wait until you need care and wish you had insurance to cover the cost. Con-tact a COUNTRY Financial representative to decide which long term care policy is right for you.

There is a term in physics, a very small distance measured in nanometers which is called the Fermi wavelength, it is a quantum mechanical barrier. Dimensions smaller than this barrier, which is only a few atoms thick and varies from one material to another, will have properties vastly different from the properties in the normal bulk material. So far we have only had a sneak preview of some of these properties and they are awesome. The strength of nano materials maybe 10,000 times stronger than in the bulk properties of the same material. Electrical properties including superconductivity, surface proper-ties for catalytic applications such as sequestering hydrogen, use as catalytic converters for auto exhaust to say nothing of carbon nano tubes used in medical applications. These carbon nano tubes can be coated with an enzyme which will adhere to an altered DNA strand. Now think what you can do with that. First of all it could be made to reproduce

itself in unlimited quantities. That is a scary thought. We can now produce synthetic life forms in unlimited quantities. Carbon nano tubes have been coated with light sensitive material that heats up when illuminated to destroy cancer cells in a localized region in a noninvasive procedure. Molecular motors can be made of single molecules. These can be injected in to humans and perform functions at the molecular level. The active surfaces can be used as a catalyst for many reactions. Surfaces can be coated with nano think layers which will be almost frictionless and be able to wear forever and be only a few atoms thick.

The name Nano is used everywhere for sales and descriptions to denote small in size. BUT the real nano world is what is described above, a wire, dot, film, rod with dimen-sions smaller than the quantum barrier for that material. This is what will change our world. This is really called molecular nanotechnology. The nano world could be thought of as two or even one dimensional, which is very hard for us to envision. The properties of these limited dimensional materials will be totally new, things we have never seen before, with properties unheard of before. For a scientist it is sort of like Alice in Won-derland going down the rabbit hole.

How can we make and control such tiny things? This is the big question where a great deal of research is now being done. We are trying to find ways to produce thin films, rods, dots etc. in a reproducible and usable way. With the new instruments such as STMs and AFMs we now have the ability to study the formation of these ultra thin molecular specks. Get ready for your world to change. u

forts to protect groundwater in the area.DEQ recognizes that 1) there is time to

address the problem; and 2) the problem does not lie wholly within South County. The fact is the entire basin is involved. Because this is not a localized problem, an invitation was extended to Klamath Coun-ty to become involved in the solution. At least one of Klamath’s Planning Com-missioners has indicated that he will at-tend the February 4th meeting.

The meeting will focus on forming a “steering committee” that will begin lay-ing the groundwork for the solution. In addition to the above named agencies, the committee will seat private citizens as members of the committee. Residents were angry at the County’s approach to a solution for the alleged nitrate contamina-tion because we weren’t given any other options. This steering committee will explore those other options and bring the best of them forward to craft a solution.

Written by Sunni Rounds, La PineA new Beginning

DEQ is committed to working with the citizens in finding a solution. They are not only willing, but want citizens to have a chance to participate in finding an acceptable, sustainable and affordable so-lution. We can’t afford to stand by and let someone else take the lead on this.

The following webpage: HYPER-LINK “http://www.deq.state.or.us/wq/onsite/nitrate.htm” http://www.deq.state.or.us/wq/onsite/nitrate.htm is the primary source of information for the community and involved agencies. It is to be updated regularly. Another source of informa-tion is CAG (Deschutes County Citizens Action Group). Their current president, Robert Ray, has worked tirelessly to bring about not just this historic meeting but to allow citizen involvement in finding a solution. CAG is committed to staying involved in the groundwater protection process. If you can’t commit to sitting on the steering committee, you can still have your voice heard by becoming a mem-ber of CAG. Currently, they meet every other Friday at the American Legion at 9:30 a.m. For meeting information call 541.536.9335. u

Maluhia means “Peace” in Hawaiian. This authentic log cabin (local builder Rod Gibson) is charming. 2BR, 1BA, 1000 sq ft with a social floorplan, it is great for cou-ples, or small groups of families or friends. A peaceful place to relax, it is decorated with both Polynesian and Western art. Fully appointed with linens, towels, a well-equipped kitchen, and quality stereo for the music & movie library makes for memorable get-aways. With custom furniture and cute propane stove inside, there’s even a washer/dryer for snowy or longer stays. Outside beckons a short walk to the Little Deschutes River through the 5 acre wooded glen. There’s an outdoor hot tub to melt muscles and enjoy Central Oregon’s clear skies and Milky Way. These three facilities are within walking distance of each other, together providing a total of 10 bedrooms with 10-19 beds for lodging up to approx. 30 people on the combined 10 acres.

Doug and Gloria tell the story of 5 couples who have been meet-ing at Diamond Stone regularly since 1992. The group started as college students on a group ski vacation. After graduating, some married, some now have children. From Washington, Oregon and California, they continue to meet regularly at DiamondStone, think-ing of it as their Central Oregon vacation home. Their children (and dogs) really love it; a place of fond memories for these long time college friends.

As vacation home property managers, the Watts hope to add a few more unique homes this year to their selection. Call them if you have one you’d like to discuss. They currently manage 3BR and 4BR homes on forested ½ acre lots in Oregon Wa-ter Wonderland and La Pine. All facilities are dog-friendly for an additional fee. The Watts’ Natural Resource Management background has them encourage recycling at all of the lodges, with deposit containers contributed to the local Boys & Girls Club or Boy Scouts.

In business here 18 years, DiamondStone Innkeepers Doug & Gloria Watt celebrate their business expansion with an intimate House Concert at the new HomeStead Lodge, adjacent to the DiamondStone main Lodge. There is no more diverse lodging options available in Central Oregon than DiamondStone Guest Lodges. They offer a beauti-ful Bed & Breakfast, a Log Cabin on acreage, and Group accommodations as well as a variety of unique vacation rental homes available to out-of-town visitors and guests of local folk. Attending this Concert, halfway between La Pine and Sunriver, sand-

wiched between the Little Deschutes River and Quail Run Golf Course, will give you the opportunity to see this beautiful vaca-tion setting. DiamondStone Guest Lodges gives guests peace and tranquility, as well as plenty of enjoyment, in a great hub lo-cation, with access to all the types of out-door activities and places we all love, like Newberry Ntl. Monument, Cascade Lakes, Mt. Bachelor, various Golf Courses, Sun-river Nature Center & Observatory, and the

High Desert Museum to name a few . How many of us who call La Pine home have not thoroughly explored these special places? For visitors in need of everything from a comfortable night’s rest, a family fun vacation, or perhaps a group retreat, Diamond-Stone provides it.

Doug and Gloria Watt have built their dreams here at DiamondStone, and enjoy sharing it with others.

LOCALS GET AN AUTOMATIC 10% DISCOUNT on lodging for friends and family. DiamondStone supports the local South County and La Pine economy as most of their customers are out-of-towners, spending their primary dollars (come from out-side the community) at La Pine area businesses. The Watts refer guests to local grocery and other stores, restaurants, gift shops, adventure outfitters and guides. Recommend your family and friends to stay at DiamondStone when visiting Central Oregon. Or think about using the HomeStead Lodge for your own upcoming special event.

The newly “green built” HomeStead Lodge, with pole barn architecture, solar as-sisted hot water and radiant floors, is a 5BR 5BA vacation rental of.4600 sq ft with lots of room to spread out. As you walk across the log bridge, a reflective pond seems to offer a welcoming hand. This outdoor water feature is frozen like a skating rink in the winter, and fun to splash in on warm summer days. Some bathrooms include amazing multi-head steam bath shower spas. The lighting is especially attractive, with one of the longest solatubes in the area, bringing natural light in from 21 feet away. With large decks and an upstairs great room, it can accommodate extraordinary events. Doug Watt is a guitarist and singer/songwriter whose music has been featured on the KLRR’s 101.7 “Homegrown” radio showcase.

Doug and Gloria have a full and exciting lifestyle. DiamondStone has brought thou-sands of guests from over 26 countries to their doors, “coloring our lives” they say. Married 28 years, they have a humorous & harmonious rapport. They were avid skiers, and motorcyclists for many years, initially attracted to this area by Mt. Bachelor. Doug is still a dedicated motorcycle enthusiast “offering discounts to anyone arriving on 2 wheels.” He’s also a great conversationalist and the chief cook and bottle washer as Gloria has developed multiple sclerosis over the past 30 years and has slowed down a bit. Not on her “Segway” though, which Gloria uses as an outdoor mobility device. (With ATV tires she goes zip-zip! Ever seen the movie “Mall Cop”? It looks fun!) I see her strong spirit, and ask how she combats the disease? She attributes much to their living in this peaceful spot, along with drinking barleygrass juice for many years to give her body the ingredients it needs to heal itself as best she can. The Watts’ passion for their lodging business, and the uplifting experiences they share with and receive from guests, enrich their lives, as well as all the great relationships they have made in the local community.

As long time Chamber members, the Watts are dedicated to La Pine. They have both been in the mortgage and real estate industry for over 25 years as well. You may have heard of their other business, ”MortgageUplink.com”, a residential mortgage broker-age. Doug has facilitated financing for many La Pine residents, helping them buy and refinance their homes. Gloria is an active Real Estate Broker with Prudential Northwest Properties of Sunriver. Her specialty is selling homes in the Three Rivers and Lazy River South areas, often to the out-of-town customers who visit their lodging facilities.

DiamondStone Guest Lodges is surely their passion, as they love sharing the natural beauties of this beautiful location. DiamondStone’s specialty is its rural setting with space and serenity. So now you know, one of Central Oregon’s jewels is right here in your own backyard! Call Doug or Gloria with questions or to schedule a tour. 541-536-6263 or 866-626-9887 or email diamond@diamondstone.com.

Elizabeth Eslami, a fresh new voice in literature, will be at Sunriver Books & Music 5:00 PM Saturday February 27th. Bone Worship is an insightful, en-

tertaining, poignant, funny and altogether interesting book about a family divided be-tween two c u l t u r e s . Jasmine’s Mum is a Sou the rn belle and her Dad is an Ira-nian doc-tor. They raised Jas-mine and her brother in a small S o u t h e r n town. Jas-mine went off to the U n i v e r -sity of Chi-cago, her

father hoping she would follow in his footsteps by becoming a doctor. As the book opens Jasmine is returning home not in the bright splendor of graduation par-ties and congratulations about her prom-ising future in medicine, but instead as a young woman who failed to graduate. She wasn’t even studying medicine with Dad’s money. Jasmine was tackling a double major in zoology and biology, do-ing quite well too until that last disastrous quarter. While Jasmine is uncertain what the future might hold, her father has no similar doubts. She is to be married; he will arrange it quite soon. This book is a lovely cornucopia of complicated fam-ily life. Jasmine has to discover that her father really does care deeply for her and like the rest of us is just doing his best. There are wonderful contradictions, af-ter all her father did not follow tradition, he married a southern girl. How this all works out in Jasmine’s life is a tour through the fault lines that occur as this family grapples with tradition, the future, and each other. Jasmine’s search for a cul-tural identity is heartwarming, funny, and fabulously interesting. It is territory Es-lami knows well, she was raised in a small southern town with an Iranian-American household. Stop by, call 541-593-2525 or e-mail sunriverbooks@sunriverbooks.comto sign up to attend. Monday February 15th the Mystery Book Club meets at 6:30. Half of Para-

dise by James Lee Burke is the first novel of an author so beloved that tours are given of the places in Louisiana serv-ing as settings for his books. In this early effort the promise of

Burke’s lyrical prose is evident. Half of Paradise is the story of three men. Trous-saint Boudreaux ,a black prize fighter whose career is ended too soon. JP Win-field, a country singer who throws his career away for the lure of drugs. Avery Broussard, a roustabout on oil rigs whose fondness for strong drink does not serve him well. Their lives will link; an inno-cent man will go to prison. Burke paints a Louisiana that is moody, dark, forbidding and oh, so alluring. The Piano Teacher by Janice Lee will fuel a lively discussion for the Fiction Book

Club on Monday February 22nd at 6:30. Claire led a sheltered life in England, liv-ing with her Mum and Dad. Traveling to Hong Kong as a young bride she is taken into a society for which she possesses no map. She is unmoored. Claire married because that was what young women did with their lives. Her husband is a pleasant chap,but not terribly exciting. Claire takes a job teaching the Chen’s daughter to play the piano. Will, the Chen’s Anglo chauffer, intrigues the young woman. They begin a torrid affair. Will reveals bits of his past in increments that shift her view of life. Will first arrived in Hong Kong before WWI. He fell in love with Trudy, a high spirited woman who will always own his heart. The world was their oyster until the Japanese invaded Hong Kong. Will was imprisonedwith the rest of the Brits while Trudy did her best to live under Japanese rule. The story alternates time periods, opening piece by piece like the petals of a rose, each layer slowly revealing the past. Monday March 1st at 6:30 the Clas-sics Book Club discusses The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey. Led by the intrepid Hayduke, a motley gang wages war on the big yellow machines that have come to destroy the landscape they love. Hilarious, outrageous, passion-ate, and totally full of himself, Edward Abbey was an original. He was vehe-mently opposed to the construction of the Glen Canyon dam, a dam that obliterated Native petro glyphs and is now viewed by quite a few as a mistake. Too late for all that pretty landscape, it has been drowned for a long time now. Abbey pours all the rage and furor of his opposition to despoil-ing wild places into his fiction. Edward Abbey defies definition, he is not about to fit into any neat little box of definition. An impassioned environmentalist, he was also known to shoot television sets and lit-ter the desert he loved with their debris. Ed Abbey was one of those guys who eat up life in great big gulps. In his fiction he lets us have a little taste of what it is like to live large. u

singing starts up. Its the coyotes. They yap and howl for about 15 minutes and then all is quite. Nothing is flying except for these little bitty birds that flit back and forth through the tulle’s and some hawks and ea-gles. The ground becomes rocky and cold when you lay there for hours. Then mother nature calls. Tim has it easy. Me, I have to take just about everything off and lose alot of stored up body heat.

Nothing flew all morning and half of the after-noon. Then we hear them coming. Tim starts to talk to them. I lie so still. I hear them getting closer, I can now hear their wings, and out of the corner of my eye I see them, Oh my, these aren’t gonna check things out, they are coming right in. They drop right out of the sky in a split second. Twenty yards in front of me are three geese, locked up and ready to land. I sit up and drop the first goose, get my bead on the sec-ond and nothing happens, something is wrong, that first shell is just barely wedged, probably from the cold, my sweet 16 gets that way sometimes, it didn’t completely eject. I yank the shell lose and and the moment is gone. The geese have gained to much altitude. I hear Tim’s gun go off and I know he has one down, hopefully more. I feel elated and deflated all at once. I got a goose and yet I know from ex-perience that I could have gotten all three. I thank the Lord for the goose I did get. You forget how big these birds are until you pick the things up. Their bodies are as long as my body. Tim got 2 geese and I got 1. The birds didn’t fly the rest of the day till the red light came on and then its all over. Its a weird feeling to be picking up decoys and having birds flying all around you. All in all it was a good hunt. The walk back always seems longer than the walk in. The cold has you hurting all over and before you get back to the truck you find yourself wondering why you do this to yourself. But once you get to sit down and get a warm meal down ya and talk about the days hunt...I know why I do it. I wouldn’t get up before dawn, in 12 degree weather, work myself like a mule, lie on rocky ice cold ground...for anything else. Hunting waterfowl makes me do what I never thought I could do. Thank you Lord for the experience. u

The truck thermometer reads 12 degrees and we are fixing to emerge from the warmth into the dark frosty morning. It is clear and the stars are shinning their last glimmer before the sun starts to rise. We start to unload the truck, breaking the silence which awakens the slumbering mallards who arise like a cloud of helicopters from the tall grass. Their silhouettes black against a dark blue sky. Two huge owls who were sitting on the fence lift effortlessly and glide across the fro-zen ice, their big round heads and heavy wings, I cannot help but admire them, they are truly a wonder.

We get our carts loaded with decoys, blinds, bags stuffed full of calls, gloves, lunch, water, hand warmers, shells ect. The last things that go on the carts are the guns, a heavy duty fish-ing pole for retrieving birds off thin ice and our heavy coats. We have a long walk ahead of us and we do not want to get overheated in this cold. The carts don’t seem that heavy when you first start out but as you push that cart through grass, sagebrush, rocks and fall in a few hidden holes along the way; you become hot, rocks seem to grow into boulders, sometimes something like a coat sleeve gets caught in the wheel. You become thankful that everything is frozen because mud is much harder to push through than cold hard ground. As we get close to the spot we want to hunt the air suddenly explodes with ducks and geese. It is a awesome sight to behold! The flurry of their wings as they lift off, almost like they are one entity. I stand and watch as they soar and within seconds they are small beings floating in the distance against a sky that is just waking up with a burst of color. Then its back to work. Unloading our carts. I start to put geese together. Heads and feet in this cold environment do not go on easily, the plastic is cold and hard. Tim crosses the warm water springs and drops waist deep before he reaches the spot where he will place his feeder decoys on the grassy bank. I watch him as he breaks through ice and climbs the bank with a heavy load. Its a perfect set up. Geese feeding on the other side of the warm water, floating geese and ducks on the water, feeder geese on our side of the bank. Looks good. By the time we have our blinds set up, our bod-ies are starting to cool off. It is time to get our neck warmers, warmer hats, dry gloves and heavy coats on. The sun is shinning, we are settled in our little nests and then the

Do you know the significance of the date June 1, 2010? You should if you haven’t already sent in your signed self certification form that is due June 1, 2010. This form is for Forestland-Urban Interface Properties in Klamath County sent to you in June 2008.

Compliance with this Act is intended to create an environment in which de-structive wildfires are less common, and one which is safer for firefighters and residents in the event a wildfire does occur. You still have time to complete your from. Use the Property Evaluation and Self-Certification guide provided to you June 2008.

If you cannot find your packet, contact our office and we can order you another. You will need to provide the legal tax lot information, the properties physical loca-tion and your mailing address when you call.

If you have already sent your card in, thank you. As of January 15, 2009, 365 people have returned their certification cards.

Every day, law enforcement officers and emergency workers put their lives on the line to save ours. Even a routine traffic stop has become risky business.

In the last 10 years, more than 700 officers have been killed in traffic incidents. In many of these cases, the officers were pulled over to the side of the road when inattentive drivers crashed into them at high speeds. That’s why there’s a strict law in Oregon designed to protect the people we depend on to protect us.

Move over or it’ll cost you. The Move Over Law (ORS 811.147) states that if you are driving up behind

any type of police car or emergency vehicle pulled over on the roadside with emergency lights flashing, you must:

MOVE OVER into another lane. If you can’t safely change lanes, SLOW DOWN. In all cases, the driver must try to provide as much room as possible for the emer-gency vehicle. Make room for safety.

The Move Over Law is in place to help protect law enforcement officers and emergency workers from a deadly threat they face on a daily basis: speeding and inattentive drivers. But the law also exists to protect you. Save yourself and those in your car from the physical and emotional dangers of a crash. The flashing lights are your cue to move over and slow down.

Failure to obey this law can cost drivers up to $355. u

Move Over It’s the LawProtect those who protect you.

The 16th Annual Chemult Sled Dog Races were great! We had a wonderful time! Yes, we had plenty of snow and the kids had a blast in the snowman contest. There were fairy’s, reindeer and the imaginations were awesomely working. The banquet dinner and auction was a success even though I didn’t win the beautiful elk gloves that were made special in Alaska by a Native American. The bead work and beaver fur...they were a work of art. Looking forward to seeing everyone next year at the 17th Annual Chemult Sled Dog Races.

I never considered myself an art-ist when I was younger, and my pro-fession became science. After many years of being intrigued by stained glass, I took a class in 2002 and was immediately hooked. The glass fascinates me. When I retired and moved to Chiloquin, no one here knew me as a scientist and I was welcomed as an artist. It still feels a little strange to be referred to as “the artist”. My inspiration for both art and science comes from all aspects of nature, and there is no shortage of wildlife or beauty here.

After several years of creating stained glass pieces, earlier this year I took hot glass and wire-wrapping classes at Light Garden Glass in Medford. I have been making pendants ever since. Dichroic glass is glass that is coated with multiple micro-layers of metal oxides and metals. To create a fused dichroic glass pendant, 3 layers of glass are cut. The bottom layer is a solid color, often black, the middle layer is the dichroic glass, and the top cap is usually clear glass. These are then fused together in a kiln. Since the colors change when the glass is fired, the final result is always a surprise. u

This week I enjoyed a wonder-ful winter afternoon at Hoodoo’s Crescent Lake Resort. I ate lunch there for the first time in a long time and it was sooo good! It looked as beautiful as it tasted. I had a half a Cobb Salad and still had plenty left over to take home. The atmosphere was awesome. I sat in dining room, nice and warm by the fireplace and looked out at Crescent Lake through these charming old window panes. Everything is wood and stone, even

the ceilings. It reminded me of when my family and I would take a trip up to New Mexico and stay in the mountains. We made some great memories there.

The beauty of this place is remarkable, what ever season you decide to go. Huge Ponderosa’s surround the resort and I imagine that many of them are hundreds of years old. The lake was like a mirror that reflected the landscape and sky like a huge master-piece of living art. The mountain air...there is nothing like cold crisp mountain air. It was prettier than any Christmas postcard that I have ever seen, it was alive! A wonder-ful place to bring the family or a romantic weekend. Speaking of family, Hoodoo is a family owned and ran operation. Kaly Harward who is general manager of Hoodoo recreation is married to Chuck’s 3rd daughter, Laura.

Hoodoo ski area is managed by Matthew McFarland who is married to Chuck’s oldest daughter Tasha. Josh Alder the director of marketing for Hoodoo is married to Chuck’s 4th daughter, Emily. Now that is what I call a family

Special thanks to so many community members that helped form the North Klamath County Chamber of Commerce. It is always a struggle to start something new. Mary Wilhelm’s water-color of our four communities marks the first North County brochure to be published in our area. Over the past three years we have worked hard to make the Chamber a positive, effec-tive link that supports our existing businesses and is a source of information to the residents of our communities and passing tourists. Big hugs continue to go to Tina Miller for the excel-lent Visitor Center that she maintains for all of us. Michael Fieler, our webmaster for www.northkccc.org also continues to donate many hours to improving our website. It looks great and is very appreciated. I am not leaving, but shifting gears. I will take on the role of secretary for the Chamber and am looking forward to working with Kathy Altman, our new president and the new govern-ing board.Please extend your support and congratulations to NorthKCCC newly elected officers.

News From Crescent Lake

North KCCC Welcomes in 2010 with a Brand New Governing Board.

Written By Linda Barron, Past President of North KCCC

The following articles are reprinted courtesy of:The Quarterly Newsletter of the Crescent Lake Area.

Published by: Crescent Lake Community Action Team (CLCAT)

Member at Large: Terri AndersonMember at Large: Kerry EllingtonMember at Large: Chris Shuey u

August 20, 1926: Mrs. Castondra W. Brock, the mother of Wm. H Brock was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1847 and was married to John Brock Sept. 26, 1865 at Bristol Texas. They moved to California in 1875 and moved to Oregon in 1887 and home-steaded at Bend, where Mrs. Brock was the first woman and was known as the Mother of Bend. She was the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. J. C. Rushing, early settlers of California. The father starting the first Santa Ana newspaper. She helped organize the first Christian church in Bend. Their homestead was on what is now the Mirror Pond. Castondra died at the age of 80.

Mr. Brock was blinded in the Civil War, otherwise he was very hardy, when Bill started the lodge at Odell Lake his mother and father lived with him, occasionally they would decide to visit another son in Oakridge, Mrs. Brock would fasten a string between them and they would start out on foot over a trail, she dipped snuff and quite often she would come to house to visit, she was a wonderful cook but the snuff usually bothered us quite a bit especially me. They lived in the Hoy house one year on Marsh Creek,

they did the washing outside with a boiler over a campfire and a tub and washboard, the clothes were always boiled in the wash boiler with a goodly supply of lye soap. Mr. Brock would scrub the clothes on the washboard, she would exam-ine them and usually slip them back in the tub for a rerun, several times I have heard him say, “Cassie, how did we ever get so many towels?”

When Bill married Kate Nacker a divorcee who had homesteaded near Crescent, and lived with her four year old son Don, Bill’s mother and fa-ther did not live with him anymore, they did not like the idea of Kate being a divorcee, so they moved to Oakridge, but before leaving Mrs. Brock threw all the pots and pans into Odell lake and for years they shone and gleamed from the clear water near the dock.

September 22, 1927: A 12 point buck, largest reported in the Bend coun-

try this season, was killed by Mrs. William H. Brock the first of this week in

the Walker mountains, east of Crescent, it was learned here today. Mrs.

Brock killed the huge buck with a shot from a 22 high power rifle. The ball

found its mark in the big bucks heart. Only one shot was fired.

A History of Crescent Lake and Surrounding AreaSubmitted by: Kerry Ellington, found in historical archives regarding Crescent Lake

Original Odell Lake Lodge: Built by Bill Brock - 1914L - R: unknown, Kate, Bill Brock. Photo Courtesy of CLCAT Newsletter

When Kate and Bill were married they decided to build a log lodge, until then it had been tent houses, all the homesteaders in the area and a great many from Crescent came and camped on the site, the men put up the log structure in a couple of days, at night there were huge campfires, I remember it very well, there was a girl my age about three times my size that seemed to enjoy knocking me down and sitting on me, I finally found I could outrun her.

At about his time the Game Commission decided to build a fish hatchery on Odell Creek, my father was given the job of building and running the hatchery, my mother and I stayed at the homestead, the hatchery was very successful, fish were spawned in traps in Odell Creek and eyed in troughs at the hatchery or sledded out and shipped to other hatcheries, a great many of them in other states. There were fish traps in Salt Creek at Gold Lake, in Crescent Creek at Crescent Lake, in Odell Creek at Davis Lake, the eggs were mostly rainbow. Most of the transportation was by foot, once in a while by horse-back if the small fish were being planted in local lakes such as Oldenberg Lake, which was named for my father’s boss.

owned and ran operation. Chuck Shepard bought the Hoodoo ski area in 1999 and in the last 10 years they now manage all of the Deschutes National Forest, about 2/3 of the Willamette National Forest and the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Wash-ington State. Hoodoo also owns 4 RV parks: Dexter Shores RV, Crescent Junction RV, Black Butte RV and Patio RV.

In August of 2009 Hoodoo bought the Crescent Lake Resort. They started by pav-ing the roads up to the Resort which in this area was the talk of the town. It is so great and makes it easier to find, just follow the paved road. They have purchased 12 new snowmobles for winter recreation. They have groomed trails all over and you can go as the crow flies and end up at Diamond Lake on one of the trails. Makes for a fun snow-moble trip with the family. They have cabins too, all sizes, from studio to 3 bedroom. Satelite TV ( who’s gonna have time for TV?) Full Kitchens with cooking utensils. I like to take a turkey or ham when we take trips like that, after the main meal you have plenty left over for snacks and sandwiches.

Gil Ernst, manager, a long time resident of this area, is really excited about the im-provements Hoodoo is making. They are keeping the charm, just restoring what needs to be restored. Hoodoo is planning on enlarging the kitchen at the Lodge. They are purchasing Jet Skis for the summer recreation and also a houseboat. They will be ex-panding the docks. It is so refreshing to hear plans for the future for the Crescent Lake area. Kaly has developed a friendship with the local businesses and is encouraged by their willingness to accept the new changes. Crescent Lake Resort is working hard to keep a positive approach for everyone in the community. As for me, I wish Kaly, Ryan, Chuck and Gil all the best in their new adventure! u

Recovering from a Fire

Crescent Lake

On January 21st 2009 around 9:00pm John and Kim Mat-kowski got a call, a call that no one would want to get. Their business (fam-ily grocery) in Cres-cent Lake on Hwy58 was burning down. The Matkowski’s had been smelling some-thing for the last 3 days before the fire but never could find the source of where the smell was coming from. They later found out that one of the refrigerated units wiring was faulting out. Kim was in the process of duplicating family photos, she had brought them all down to the store to do this on their computer. The fire of course devoured them all with no mercy. Her parents also had a Christmas tradition of making them special ornaments and had been doing so since John and Kim were first married. Kim had stored these and other Christmas items at the store. These items? You can not replace.

There were other personal items that perished in the fire but the photos and orna-ments are what Kim misses the most. John and Kim first opened KJ’s (family restau-rant) in June of 1998. They had just purchased the grocery which was next to KJ’s a couple of years before the fire. It was an investment for the family. John, Kim, Whitney their daughter and Beau their son; ran both the restaurant and grocery. I remember when Tim and I were on a trip to the coast, (we had not heard about the fire) we had decided to eat breakfast at KJ’s, I could not believe the damage.

Tim and I loved to go to KJ’s mainly to see Whitney, she was only 11 when we first started eating there and she just captured our hearts with her laughter and wonderful sense of humor for someone so young. Whitney is now going to College in Eugene and Beau will be leaving soon to start his new adventure with the US Navy. Kim said “ I lost my two best workers and my two best friends.”

After the fire they soon discovered that their insurance didn’t cover half of what was destroyed. The pumps outside were not covered, as well as the toxic debris that had to be disposed of after the fire. The agent had not calculated the square footage of the building correctly. Kim said “ Cat, When was the last time you checked to see what your insurance covers on your house? I wish that I had looked at my papers, I just took for granted that everything was covered.” I now ask all of you, when was the last time you took a look at your policy?

KJ’s reopened a couple of months ago after alot of hard work. John and Kim are a special breed, they have not given up. If you have never stopped by KJ’s you are missing a treat! They make the best burgers and they have ice cream too! I love ice cream. They are located on Hwy58 in Crescent Lake Oregon. They are opened 7 days a week. Sunday through Thursday they are opened from 7:00am til 3:00pm Friday and Saturday they are opened from 7:00am til 5:00 or later sometimes they stay open later. Great breakfast and lunches. Stop by next time you are headed down 58 and say hi from Cat. u

Boston is truly a national treasure. As one of America’s oldest cities, Boston gushes with historical intrigue and old-world charm that everyone will find interesting.

Whether you choose to visit the historic landmarks along Freedom Trail, rummage around the bookshops of Harvard Square or grab a pint in a pub on Beacon Street.

Walking is the best mode of transportation in Beantown to take in the sights. But it’s not the only way Boston is a water town and seaport, the town was first built on the shorelines and worked its way inward.

To truly gain a unique perspective of both the landmarks and the culture, take to the waters. Sightseeing by boat allows you to drift away into history as you explore Boston the way it was originally.

The Charles is a beautiful river offering spectacular views of the Boston and Cam-bridge skylines. Cruising through the turns, riverboats reward their passengers with views of Beacon Hill, Esplanade Park, Boston University, M.I.T. and Harvard.

Boston Harbor, on a sunset cruise; witness as the sun’s last rays set the Boston sky-line afire as the canons from the U.S.S. Constitution, “Old Ironsides,” the oldest com-missioned warship afloat in the world, serenade the end of the day.

Hop on a cruise and explore Boston Harbor Islands, a 34-island national park with lighthouses, forts and natural wonders. Go beyond the islands into Massachusetts Bay for whale watching.

PRIMARy ELEC- TION OCCuRS

ON FRIDAyBrief Summary of Candidates

Asking For Nomination On Both Tickets

THE FIGHT IS WARMPublisher Hurd Has a

Favorite And Wants His Friends to Vote For Him

The primary election which occurs on Friday of this week is of intense interest. Following the adoption of a law electing U S Senators by direct vote of the people,

afterwards to be ratified by the legislative bodies of the state, a presidential preference clause was inserted in the primary election law of Oregon two years ago. States to fol-low the lead of Oregon were North and South Dakota, Nebraska, California, Washing-ton, Illinois, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

It is significant that in the four states, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Penn-sylvania- where primary elections have already occurred, that President Taft has been overwhelmingly repudiated, not averaging one vote in ten cast for the other two candi-dates, La Follete and Roosevelt. North Dakota led off first by decisively choosing La Follete and Wisconsin, the senator’s home states, duplicated the former state’s action two weeks ago. Both Illinois and Pennsylvania have declared for Roosevelt. In Wiscon-sin and Pennsylvania the Democrats have selected the progressive candidate, Governor Wilson, but a combination of the reactionary forces of Clark and Harmon defeated him in Illinois. Nebraska and South Dakota hold primary elections this month and California in May.

MuCH DEPENDS ON MEETING

Well Attended Meeting Saturday Will Have Influence

Crescent To Be Represented With a Delegation

Recognizing the importance of the mass meeting in La Pine country people to be held in the club rooms at he La Pine Saturday afternoon, at which time will be discussed ways and means of having the immense tract of lodge-pole timber land in this section now in the forest reserve thrown open to settlement, the Crescent Commercial club in regular meeting last night passed resolutions commend-ing the step and voted to send down a representative delegation to aid in the movement.

Like La Pine, in the vicinity of Crescent there are thousands of acres of black pine land more valuable for agricultural purposes that anything else, and if congress can be included, through a statement giving a true light on conditions here, to throw open the land to settle-ment, the benefit to this entire region would be immeasurable. Development would be greatly augmented and the wealth vastly increased.

It is the opinion of the Inter-Mountain that no meeting has been held in years which means so much to the development of the upper Deschutes valley as will take place Satur-day afternoon. The club hall should be crowded. u

BAD SHOEING INJuRES FEETOther Troubles Cause Horses to Step Gingerly When Extended-Good Remedy is Recommended.

Owing to bad shoeing and also many other causes many horses suffer with con-tracted feet.

The heels are narrowed and the horse steps gingerly with a desire to extend him-self when forced to trot or gallop.

The writer is now using a horse 21 years old and when he drove him for the first time in December last saw that he experienced great difficulty in extending himself, especially on rough and stony roads.

He was shod with heel calks on the front as well as the hind feet and it was very perceptible that the heels of his front feet were too narrow.

After three unsuccessful trials with regular blacksmith the horse was exam-ined by a competent veterinary surgeon who pronounced his trouble to be con-tracted heels.

He had them shod perfectly level in the front, springs were placed in between the back of the shoes to keep the heels spread and a piece of sole leather was tacked across the hillows of the hoof below the hoof and the shoes to protect the sole of the foot and break the jar of traveling on rough and stony places.

About once of twice a week a hood ointment consisting of one pint of Neat’s foot oil with two tablespoonfuls of oil of tar was applied on the outside front feet with a soft rag and then, raising the edge of the leather, a little is poured over the sole of the foot and a few drops in the heel cleft.

Since the last shoeing and following treatment above described the horse has improved wonderfully in his road work and rarely flinches, even going at a 12 mile an hour slip. u

A Vision and a Beginningfor La Pine’s Culture

Written By Sheila O’Malley

Entertainment

Central Oregon Cultural Arts meeting brought together artists from all walks of cultural arts, as well as concerned arts patrons. Around 50 people from the La Pine and surrounding areas attended the meeting, which featured live music (Lino, Bella Via), a storyteller (Guy J. Jackson), a professional management consultant (Jane Boubel), hors d’oeuvres, and exciting conversation!

Areas of discussion were visions of our future, how to attract the arts, types of artists to whom our area is home, and what types of cultural arts we would most like to see in the area. We have film producers, musicians, storytellers, painters, sculpters, crafters – an amazing array of artists from all walks of life surrounding us!

The meeting, a vision and creation of several area residents- including Jade’s Jazz Productions owner Sheila O’Malley- was designed to inspire, excite, and start a dialogue regarding cultural arts among area neighbors. Her vision: viable venues for hosting live music, performing arts, theatre, dance, art displays to make our area known for the arts. Specifically, she would love to see the creation of a performance theatre of sorts, one that could host not only live music on stage with a dance floor in front, but also could use the same stage for a theatre production and the dance floor as an orchestra pit. It could also contain a movie screen in the back of the stage for movie nights! The foyer could be a reception area where artwork from local artists could be displayed. Theatre wall space could feature live musicians and performers who entertain in our area.

The possibilities are endless for dreaming and scheming! Meetings for this cultural arts brainstorming are planned for the future. You can contact Sheila O’Malley at Jade’s Jazz Productions (541-848-9470) or Dan Varcoe at the La Pine Chamber of Commerce (541-536-9771) for more information.

Mark your calendars for this year’s 2nd Annual Jade’s Jazz Festival, August 7-8, 2010, featuring live performers from around the country and local artists as well. Surprise musicians will be featured at the upcoming jazz festival, held in La Pine, Oregon! u

We are struggling to keep our house payment current due to a job layoff and want to see if we can get our payment lowered, but I can not seem to get through to talk to anyone and no one calls me back. What can I do?Answer: In general, you have to miss at least one house payment and become 30 days late, before lenders seem to open up conversation. After you become 30 days late, they will usually contact you. Sadly, when you are 30 days late, your credit score is effected, however if it allows you to negotiate with your bank to restructure or modify your loan to make it more affordable and keep you in your home under your changed circum-stances, then it is worth the blemish on your credit, which in time, can be repaired. It is a better alternative than loosing your home to foreclosure and ruining your credit for four years or longer.

What is the difference between a Short Sale and a Bank Owned Property?Answer: Great question because this is confusing to many buyers. A Short Sale is when the home owner owes more on their loan than the home will currently sell for. Because of this, if they need to sell their home, they have to have their lender’s approval on any offers that are received on the home. This puts a third party into the selling process; Seller, Buyer and Bank that holds the note. Many Short Sales take several months be-fore the bank responds to whether they will accept the offer or want to counter the offer. Also, when you write an offer on Short Sale, you can be waiting for several months for a response from the bank which offers the opportunity for other offers to be submitted. If another, higher offer, is submitted you can terminate your offer or choose to increase your offer to a price higher than the one submitted. Of course, then the second offer has the opportunity to increase their offer also. Bank Owned, or REO (Real Estate Owned) properties have already completely gone through the foreclosure process and the bank has taken title to the property back. Since the bank is now the only seller, the sale process time frame is just like a regular two party sale transaction and the price is usually negotiated with in days or a week. u

Once again members of the LaPine Blue lightning Mat Club have traveled to some of the sports most prestigious events and made their presence felt. Members have wres-tled as far away as Tulsa, Oklahoma, in renowned tournaments like the Rocky Mountain Nationals and qualified and competed in the notorious Oregon Wrestling Classic.

David and Derrick Kerr braved the long road to compete in the first round of the Cliff Keen World of Wrestling tournament in Tulsa, Oklahoma November 19 through 21. This tournament is the first of three nation wide tournaments for an opportunity to win the Triple Crown, followed by a second Tulsa tourney in January 2010 and a third in Reno in April 2010. David and Derrick both wrestled hard, Derrik placed 3rd and David was just out side the placing, missing finals by one point.

On the weekend of December 12 sev-eral of our wrestlers traveled to Salem for the Western Rocky Mountain Nationals. The six wrestler; David and Derrik Kerr, Hunter and Gage Dodson, Cory Reed, and Chad Jaynes all competed well and brought home hardware. Several Rocky Mountain Tournaments are held throughout the West Coast giving our wrestlers a chance to com-pete against quality opponents in a big time venue and these kids really rose to the chal-lenge.

On January 2, the team traveled to Red-mond for the Classic Qualifier. This tourna-

ment, as well as four others held on the same date across the state, gives wrestlers a chance to qualify for the Oregon Wrestling Classic. The Classic is held in the Redmond Fair grounds event center and showcases the best wrestlers of all ages, from college ath-letes on down. RJ McGinnis, Thorin Wilson, Derrik and David Kerr, Cole Lester, Chad Jaynes, Hunter and Gage Dodson, Jordan Daley, Tim Cushman and Derrick Dulley all represented LaPine at this prestigious event held January 9 and 10.

Derrick Kerr and his older brother David both placed first in their Intermediate and Novice classes respectively. Hunter Dodson placed third in his Intermediate weight class. Cole Lester placed fourth in his 80-pound Intermediate weight class. Rounding out the finishers, Thorin Wilson placed fourth in the 70-pound Schoolboy division. Of eleven qualifiers from the Blue Lightning Mat Club five brought home medals and the pride of knowing they are among the best in the West.

The fun is not over yet. Our entire mat club has the opportunity to wrestle at tourna-ments in Madras, Burns, at Mt. View High School, and in our own Central Oregon Cham-pionships in La Pine on January 31. This last home stand then prepares them to wrestle

ing our country. My husband studies WWII avidly. We have watched it on the History Channel many times. And I realize that each and every service man and woman gave their part in some way, large or small to help us have freedom. If we had not stepped up to the plate and “batted” the ball in WWII, where would our world be, now? The answer is only left to the imagination or an educated guess. And their work keeps going, right here in Central Oregon.

Recently, Randall Marchington, an expert mechanical estimator from Bend Heating answers questions about the newest high efficiency heat pump systems on the market. He also discusses how people can save money and benefit from the best incentives ever offered for installing high efficiency equipment for heating and cooling your home.

Q: Randall, what are the average fuel costs for the La Pine and Sunriver area?A: We measure the cost of heating in the amount of Btuh output (British Thermal

Units per hour). For example Propane costs $28 - $34 per Btuh, heating oil costs $28 - $32 per Btuh, and an electric furnace costs $20 per Btuh. What many people don’t know is that a high efficiency heat pump is the most cost effective source for heating a home at only $8 - $9 per Btuh. As an added bonus a heat pump also cools so you get air conditioning basically at no additional cost.

Q: If I’m heating with Propane, how much of a savings can I get by converting to a high efficiency heat pump?

A: Using that example you are paying approx. $32 per Btuh with propane as com-pared to $9 per Btuh with a high efficiency heat pump. That would be roughly a 72% savings.

Q: Can you give me an example of what it would cost to invest in a new high ef-ficiency heat pump system?

A: Let use this example of system based on a smaller stick or manufactured home costing an estimated $7,830.00. With Federal, State and utility energy incentives and rebates you can save $4,540 for a net investment of $3,290.00. There have never been incentives like this in the 25 years I’ve been in this business.

Green Energy – Heat Pumps, A Great Investment

Q: What sets Bend Heating apart from other well known heating companies?A: Bend Heating has served Central Oregon and the La Pine and Sunriver com-

munities since 1953. That’s longer than anyone in our business. We are required to be certified by federal, state and local agencies. We participate in rigorous ongoing training that requires us to perform many different tests to certify the installation is correct like duct testing and sealing – as much as 25% of heat can be lost to leaky ducts. We also perform air flow measurements. Air flow needs to be balanced to avoid burning up the equipment. But there are many other factors that need to be considered to get it right.

Q: How can people contact you for more information?A: You can contact me at 382-1231 or email me at HYPERLINK “mailto:randall@

bendheating.com” randall@bendheating.com and I’m happy to provide a no obligation estimate of costs and savings. You can also visit our website at HYPERLINK “http://www.bendheating.com” www.bendheating.com.

I was thrilled when I was invited to be the guest speaker at the Bend American Le-gion Meeting. They had never heard of The Newberry Eagle Newspaper, I was told. When one of their members, Clint, from La Pine told them about The Newberry Eagle, they asked him to invite me to speak. It was a great way to get the word out for The Eagle. The group was very receptive and everyone took the paper home with them. Af-ter my speech, I had the privilege of sitting with my Veteran husband, Dennis Jones and listening to the meeting. I was deeply moved by these military Vets at this meeting.

There were Veterans there that served in all parts of the world. The integrity was incredible in the room. From a 95 Year Old WWII D-Day Vet to a Vet that was proud that he served in No. Carolina. Vets from all wars, including Korea, Vietnam, WWII, Afghanistan, and the Gulf war were in attendance. I thought about the significance of each and everyone of our service people, and the vital part they have played in help-

The beginning of the New year is the time for positive changes. The Humane Society of Central Oregon would like to suggest resolutions that are easy to ac-complish and improve the quality of life of your four-legged friend and our com-munity.

Want to give back to the community? Volunteer your time or talents to the Hu-mane Society of Central Oregon (HSCO) Animal Shelter or Thrift Store. Walk dogs, play with the cats or help with adop-tions at the shelter. Thrift Store volun-teers help sort and display donated items. Visit www.freekibble.com and help feed HSCO’s guests and other shelter animals across the nation.

Getting rid of the old and replacing with new items? Donate gently used items to the Humane Society of Central Oregon’s Thrift Store at 5th and Green-wood. All proceeds from donations and sales help the animal.

Here are some New Year’s resolutions to consider for your four-legged friends:

• Update vaccinations to prevent dis-eases.

• Spay or Neuter your pet now to prevent pet over-population and certain dis-eases.

• Encourage friends, neighbors and acquaintances to have their pet spayed or neutered

• Make sure your pet is wearing an identi-fication tag that is easy to read and has current information.

• Make a lifetime investment in a microchip identification for your dog and cat.• Schedule a health exam for your companion animal(s).• Take a dog training class to develop the desired behavior and make them good citizens.• Follow County laws and get your dog licensed or the license renewed.• Take your dog for a walk or play with them every day.• Play with your cat every day to provide mental and physical stimulation.• Review the canine and feline diet to make sure it is meeting your pet’s needs.• Do the rib test (when running fingers over your pets ribs with light pressure, can you feel

the ribs?) and see if a few pounds need to be taken-off to provide good health.• Clean the cat litter box every day to make the kitty happy and prevent litterbox problems.• Buy new toys for the dog.• Teach an old dog a new trick.• Check-out the dog parks and make new friends.• Take a current photograph that shows identifying marks well, just in case the pet gets lost.• Adopt a new friend from the Humane Society of Central Oregon or encourage others to

open their heart and home to a very deserving homeless animal.• Make a donation to the Humane Society of Central Oregon in honor of or in remembrance

of a special pet or person. Donations can be made online at www.hsco.org. To see HSCO’s adoptable animals visit www.hsco.org or the shelter just south of Reed Market Road on 27th Street in Bend. For more information call the Humane So-ciety of Central Oregon at 541.382.3537.

Mike, Alissa & Lindsey Welcome Chief Mike Supkis to La Pine!Mike & Alissa asked the Chief a few questions:How does it feel to be the new La Pine Fire Chief?Chief: I feel very privileged. The La Pine Fire District has a very good reputation.How do you like living in La Pine compared to Alaska?Chief: I have only been here two weeks, but our family has vacationed here often in the past - so I know we are going to like La Pine a lot. Alaska was a great adventure however the climate is very harsh. So it is warmer in La Pine for one. (We still love winter and snow though!!) We also have lived in Oregon before and have family in Oregon so this is more like home coming for us.Do you get more emergency calls here than in Alaska?Chief: Yes - medical calls. However in Alaska we had more fires and law enforcement calls (I was public safety director and police chief as well as fire chief - many hats!)Why did you choose to come here?Chief: We had come to La Pine and Central Oregon to vacation often and have family nearby. La Pine is a great sized community with the friendliest people which is also surrounded by the best public lands, mountains, lakes, rivers and wilderness found any-where on the planet. La Pine is simply a beautiful place.How long have you been a fire chief?Chief: I been very privileged and fortunate to serve as a fire chief (and also as police chief too) for over 25 years. u

BUDDY THE CHURCH MOUSEIN THE KITCHEN

Written By Judy Keller – 2009 © Copyright

Buddy just loves hanging in the kitchen.Oh, the odors…sniff, sniff.Oh, the warm air under the hot water tank…joy! joy!

But, O-O-h-h, the CRUMBS! The fresh crumbs are the very best thing about the kitchen. Fresh or stale, soft or crusty, the crumbs are luscious.

Of course, Buddy liked to nibble on butter, brown sugar and especially cheese. But crumbs are his favor-ite since they are cooked with lots of yummy things.

Being in the kitchen has its hazards. People like to snoop in here, too. They want to know what is cooking and when is the next church supper, or who is taking a coffee break. Some people search to find what they can snack on.

The hazard is Buddy’s tail. Wow!!! He can’t count the times he has barely made it under cover before some-one stepped on his long, skinny, lovely tail. But, the crumbs are worth the risk of even a hurt tail. u

You, Too Can Loose Weight and Feel Great!

Just in time for Valentine’s Day a homemade gift the kids can make and give to family and friends! A Sweet Shovel!

Materials: Candy, Snack size zip lock bags, Twist Tie, Ribbon, Toy Sand Shovel, Paint Pen or permanent markerInstructions: Close a small bag of candy with a twist tie. With ribbon, tie it to the handle of a toy sand shovel. (good selection of shovels at www.iparty.com for 40 cents a piece.) Use a paint pen or permanent marker to write your message at the base of the shovel, just below the candy bag.

Message Ideas:“I dig you!” • “Here’s the scoop on Valentine’s Day... I Love You! or I Like You!”

“It’s Valentine’s Day – dig it! • “You’ve got the scoop on me!”

I have always struggled with my weight and at 44 years young, thought that I would never loose the 35lbs that I was carrying. For many years I suffered from a slow Thy-roid and had trouble breathing and was us-ing an inhaler regularly. I have tried other weight-loss programs, but did not have much success. I lost weight but usually gained it back. Before my weight loss I tried to exercise, but didn’t have the energy to continue for any period of time.

My friend had great success on the Medifast program, so I decided if she could do it, so could I. Once I started Medifast, I noticed results almost immediately. Losing weight within days, and having more energy then I have ever experienced in over 20 years.

On Medifast, all the work is done for you. The correct balance of vitamins, calo-ries, protein, fat and carbohydrates are provided in each meal. The 5 & 1 plan took the stress out of planning, shopping or cooking several meals a day. I learned to eat smaller portions 6 times a day. Medifast has a maintenance plan that will allow me to keep the weight off for good. Once a size 16 in my before photo, now size 8 in my after photo, I lost 35lbs in 14 weeks and feel amazing.

Diabetes and Heart disease run in my family, my goal is to be at a healthy weight to avoid these health issues. My thyroid is regulated and I have eliminated the use of my inhaler. This program can assist people suffering from cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and weight control. Medifast has been recommended by over 15,000 doctors since 1980.

I became a Health Coach to help others make positive changes to achieve optimum health and wellness. Call me if you would like to talk 541-408-2188. u

They found him in the templeAs he sat and taught the crowd;

They came that they might tempt him,Of themselves they were so proud.

These Pharisees and ScribesBrought with them a woman,

An adulteress, they said,Describing what she’d done.

Caught in the act, they saidAs they confronted him that day;Now Moses would say stone her,

But what would be your way?

But rather than replyHe stooped and wrote on the ground,And seemed not to have heard them;

And no one uttered a sound.

But they continued to ply himWith questions of what should be done,

And as he rose and faced themHis words their hearts did stun.

Let he that is sinless among youBe the first to cast a stone,

And as their hearts convicted themThey left him and the woman alone.

Then he looked upon the woman,And with compassion said to her,Woman, where are your accusers?

She replied, I know not sir.

Then Jesus said to the woman,Neither do I condemn you,

Go therefore and sin no moreAnd begin your life anew.

Today I might have a chanceTo really learn about romance

It took a lot for me to find Someone who is warm and kind

To only look across a streamFor the kind of love we all dream

I look in awe up at the skyAt the geese as they fly by

To stand in place and honor themWho through their life together will stand

In their life “Till death do us part ” Means just that and comes from the heart

It’s never a question or a doubt To them it’s their only route

Pine’s Local Heroes: neighbors Who Come When

You need Them

I am writing about this tragic and true event that occurred 1-14-10 on Meadow Lane in La Pine. I will not use names because I have not had the chance to contact them before deadline on the paper. It is an important story for all of us to think about and hopefully take action.

When the owner of the horse’s east side neighbor heard the strange thumping sounds and realized that the horse was in trouble, he and his wife rushed over to see what had happened. Somehow the poor creature had rolled into the side of the building and was unable to get up. No one knew how long the horse had been caught up in the folly of an ill-timed roll in the mud, but it was now a serious situation made worse by the fact that the horse’s owner was away at work. The fast thinking neighbor tried to get the panicked horse to stand, but was unable to negotiate with the 1400 pounds of stressed out flesh. Finally, grabbing a garden hose, the neighbor wrapped it around the horse’s back legs so he could pull the animal away from the building far enough for it to get some purchase and get up. He and his wife successfully moved the horse.

The great brown gelding stood up and went down four or five times moving a little closer to his shed and the side yard on the opposite side of the house. Each time the horse seemed to be losing more strength as he tried again and again. The neighbors were trying to help the horse and at the same time call the owner on their cell phones. All to no avail.

Soon enough, the neighbor lady on the other side of the owner’s property saw un-usual people and activity and came out to find the horse and two neighbors struggling, each in their own way, to help the downed animal. She went in and successfully reached the owner at work and told her to come home. And then she went to assist the animal, too.

By the time the neighbor on the west side arrived about eight minutes later, the neighbor down the street had come to help, too. He was next to the horse rubbing the horse’s neck and talking gently to the injured animal. The neighbor ladies got horse blankets and coverings and tried to warm up the horse while the eastside neighbor man and the neighbor man from down the street continued to rub down the animal, all the while speaking to help soothe the poor horse with soft and encouraging words. Every-one started to rub the horse, checking the colic that made the horse’s belly swollen and painful. Every few minutes the neighbors would try to get the horse to his feet. By now it was clear that the horse was suffering terribly from his falls and the colic. Everyone involved waited for thirty minutes and decided that they had to get the horse up. Pushing gently, the horse was coerced enough to try and suddenly the horse rolled and came to

will meet oth-er like minded i n d i v i d u a l s and, even if they are not re la t ionship p r o s p e c t s , they know people who are. Through those volun-teer friends you may have the chance to meet someone who wants to share your life because of the fact that you do stay active.

So that brings us to the question of whether or not you can find someone to love when you are in the AARP years bracket. The research does not say that a loving relationship is the only thing that will feed the soul and gain you all of the benefits of what the experts say. You can love in many ways and you can love many. Most importantly, you can get many kinds of love in many “safe” places. If a person is committed to activities that help others and finds satisfaction in helping- he has love. If a person has a pet or two (more in my case) she has someone who depends on her and returns her care with a wag of the tail or a purr of contentment. That is love, too. If person belongs to a church or an organization where they feel safe and comforted by their association with others in that setting – then there is love from you and to you.

So while you are out there looking for Mr. Right or Mrs. Special, don’t forget to give yourself a chance to experience the love that is available to everyone by be-coming a part of something bigger than yourself. Good luck and good lovin’! u

The New SeniorA few years ago I wrote a piece called

Thoughts on Romance. It created some in-teresting reactions and I think it is time to address the issue again- maybe because of Valentine’s Day, or maybe it is because it has been cloudy and I have cabin fever. When I wrote before, I mentioned that it is important to have a significant other in your life because we all need a witness to our lives and that means someone who shares our thoughts and actions and cares about us in spite of what we are “not”! Now I also think it is important to address because it can affect your health and well being.

In a recent flurry of research, after a Dr. Oz show that I saw on TV, I found that it is indeed important to our longevity and well-being to have love in our lives. It is all about creating a compassionate and/or passionate existence where we can share our hopes, dreams, complaints, activities and love with another person. If new love, growing love, longtime love and great friendship is a part of your everyday exis-tence, you are going to add years to your life and health to your years.

Now, we all know that this is not al-ways easy. Some of us singles might de-sire these wonderful relationships for our-selves, but widows, widowers, divorced seniors-new and old- face many obstacles when it comes to finding love after the AARP membership committee contacts us! We are too old, or too gray, or too fat, or too thin, or too boring, or too……fright-ened to get out there. There are websites you can use to meet other singles online: E harmony, Match.com, Chemistry.com and etc. You can become a part of a church community and meet the kind of person who has similar belief systems. You can go to the usual meet-markets in your towns. Or you can let altruism lead you to vol-unteering in different activities where you

his feet once again. The neighbors tried to clear the blankets from under the horse’s feet and they leaned into the animal’s sides to help the horse stay up. With no bridle to pull and encourage the horse forward, the horse stayed up for a few minutes and then went down again, this time his agonized breathing and guttural sounds adding to the helpless-ness of all of the neighbors who cared about this gentle animal.

The neighbors talked out loud about what they were feeling; about what the horse needed. All of them were saddened by their inability to relieve the animal’s agonizing pain. Each of them was hoping that the owner would appear soon and have the magic touch to make the horse get better.

The owner’s car finally pulled up to the gate and when the horse heard his mistress coming down the drive, he summoned up his strength and stood up, moving a few steps at time to get closer to where he usually greeted her.

When people say that an animal does not have strong feelings of love and trust for the humans they belong to, they need to see how this very afflicted animal was able to respond to the sound of his “Mother’s” car and voice.

Then the neighbors helped to get the horse moving. The owner found the bridle. The neighbor man from down the street and the one from next door who found the horse earlier started walking the horse. The ladies scurried to try to help the owner with what they could do to help. One neighbor went to get oil so there would be enough to help the horse lubricate. By the time the neighbor lady came back, the owner was having a hard time making connections to a vet that could help her and by then with her feelings of how she was personally reacting to the extreme seriousness of her animal’s condition. The neighbor lady got the owner a cup of tea and brought the man down the street a cup of cocoa to drink while he walked back and forth with the gelding.

Soon there was another flurry of activity around getting the horse to take an oral syringe of pain and stress reliever, and lots more syringes of oil while the neighbor down the street kept the horse moving. After an hour or more with the horse continually moving the owner connected to an equine vet. The doctor told the owner by phone that since the horse had moved his bowels to try some grass hay. One neighbor went and got water while the owner gathered up a box of grass hay to get the horse to eat and start some belly movement. The horse’s droppings showed no dangerous elements. But, the horse did not want water or hay.

Everyone started to relax a bit because it looked like the horse was doing better. Two horse trainers from the local horse stables came with an injection of pain killer for the horse, but when they checked the belly sounds and saw that the horse was moving, they returned to their work. There was another sigh of relief. Now it was getting dark, too. The couple that originally found the horse in distress that afternoon had to leave, telling the owner that they would be gone for an hour. Both offered to come back if she needed help when they got back. The horse continued to walk with the neighbor. The owner continued on the phone checking to see what else she could do without the services of a large animal vet available in her area.

The other neighbor lady saw that the horse was doing better, and hopeful, she left to go home and get dinner for her family. About fifteen minutes later, she brought over some hot snacks and found that the horse seemed to better still. She returned home and called the owner to say she needed an hour and would be available right away if the owner needed her. A little while after that the neighbor down the street left, too.

In the middle of the evening, others arrived as the neighborhood settled into their evenings at home. Each one of them had done something for the lady with the horse and, even though it had been terrible to see the poor horse go through what happened, they had tried to band together as a force to show their respect to their good neighbor and show their love of animals to her horse. It felt like a small victory and work well done.

When the neighbor lady to the west of the horse owner’s house saw the cars come in and then leave in late evening, she felt sure that the owner was splitting shifts with other friends. When she woke up in the middle of the night to let her dog out, the neighbor’s house was strangely dark. A hopeful feeling of “all must be well after all” came into her head, and she finally went back to sleep at about two am.

Some stories of heroism don’t work out like we dream they should. No one could have tried harder than that group of loving neighbors to save their friend and neighbor from the loss of her horse, but try as they did, the poor creature did not survive.

The horse had stress colic. He had fallen, been stuck and was so upset and scared by the time he was discovered that his internal systems had begun to shut down. By the time everyone was back home thinking that the neighbor’s horse had a fighting chance to make it, the real fact was that the horse got sicker and when the vet finally arrived, there was nothing more to do. The horse had to be put down.

The memory of the dark house will be a reminder of what it is like to lose a battle against time and odds. All of the neighbors join to express their sympathy to their friend for the loss of her special horse.

When a horse founders, it is always difficult to properly treat the belly swelling horse colic that occurs. It is extremely dangerous to the horse and can be lethal if not treated correctly or fast enough. The trouble is that there are many symptoms for colic and other than removing food and water, hosing down the animal around the belly to cool it and getting the horse moving, without a vet coming to help immediately, there are many things that can go wrong. It is most common in the springtime because of new grass and other things that sprout up. (Go to HubPages.com for additional info on horse colic.)

Our community needs a big animal vet that is available to help us right away. It can make a difference to the horse’s chance of recovery. Please call our local veterinary care givers and let them know that you think it is important, too. u

Health & FitnessEven Healthy Kids Need Health Care

Darin Vaughan, MD, FAAP, Pediatrician, La Pine Community Health Center

Darin Vaughan MD, FAAP, Pediatrician

By Peggy Boone, The Health and Wellness GroupIn 2006, Pastor Will Bowen delivered

a life changing message to his Kansas City Missouri congregation. His message of “stop complaining” has spread around the world and drawing international atten-tion.

He said, “Good things will happen for you in abundance if you can just leave your grumbling behind!”

Complaining is a habit and we do it without even realizing it. We complain about the weather, how we slept, how we are feeling, our wife’s snoring, our husband’s cooking, a cupboard door left open, the newscaster, the driver in front of us, not enough time or money, and our health.

While complaining is a habit, people also complain to gain attention or sympa-thy, to have something to say or to fit in with the group.

But how does complaining affect us? Complaining can actually make us feel de-pressed, angry, and not fun to be around. Complaining perpetuates the problem be-cause what we think about or speak, we bring about! As the lovely Maya Angelou says, “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your at-titude. Don’t complain!”

The other problem with complaining is that we usually complain to someone who can do nothing about the complaint! We complain at work about our spouse or to our spouse about work and we complain to our neighbors about the rude store clerk or about government. We even complain about things that we cannot change or that over which we have no control. The weather is a good example.

So how did Pastor Will move his con-gregation to a complaint free congrega-tion? He passed out purple bracelets. He challenged his congregation to wear the bracelet on their wrist and whenever they found themselves complaining, criticiz-ing or gossiping, that they would move the bracelet to the other wrist. The goal

was to keep the bracelet on one wrist for 21 days in a row, meaning that they hadn’t complained in that many days, thus form-ing a new habit.

The great benefit of this program is that even before you accomplish your 21 day goal, you will feel the results in the form of a sunnier attitude and a happier life. I have caught myself about to com-plain or criticize and abruptly closed my mouth not wanting to move my bracelet. While it is only what you verbalize that counts toward moving the bracelet, you will find that you will also be checking your thoughts and those too will become more positive.

Think it will be easy to go 21 days without moving your bracelet? Most peo-ple take 6 months or longer to reach the goal, but it is worth it!

There are nearly 6 million purple bracelets being worn around the world by those who have taken up the challenge in-cluding members of the LaPine Chamber of Commerce! There are military bases, congressional offices, city governments, schools, churches and organizations par-ticipating. If you’d like your organization to participate go to HYPERLINK “http://www.acomplaintfreeworld.org” www.acomplaintfreeworld.org and order your bracelets for $1. Let’s turn our community of LaPine into a complaint free community!

I wish I could talk to every family in the area. I wish I could share the good news with them. But, I don’t have the time to do it, and I really like my day job. So, I need your help.

Even healthy kids need health care. When kids come to see me for a well child visit, there is a lot to cover. We certainly will talk about any new or acute concerns, but mainly, we want to talk about being healthy. A child’s weight and growth, school progress, social development, mental and emotional health, nutrition and activity, development, behavior and safety are all complex topics that change every few months for infants and every year for children and adolescents. We will test a child’s vision, development, and blood for lead or anemia. We have 14 childhood diseases we can prevent with immunization. Fewer children are sick, disabled or dying now with the sup-pression of diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, meningitis, pneumonia, measles, mumps, rubella, gastroenteritis, hepatitis and influenza. Sorting through the real, honest facts of keeping kids healthy is a big job for parents when you consider all of the above. There are people like me who want to help you do that for your child, grandchild, niece, nephew, brother or sister.

The Oregon legislature made a deci-sion in 2009 to create Healthy Kids, a program which aims to dramatically re-duce the number of uninsured children in Oregon. Regardless of family income or background, Healthy Kids is available to children under 18 who do not have health insurance. Healthy Kids is planned to reduce the number of uninsured Oregon children by 95%. Healthy Kids will cover well child checks, sick visits, vision care, dental care and mental health care.

I really hope that we can ensure that all children in this community can find a way to see a doctor regularly in a medical home, where they have a reliable relation-ship with their health care provider. Pay-ing for that health care is critical. People, even if they are sick, often delay or don’t seek health care when they think they can’t afford it. We should not tolerate that for children. No child should be hospital-ized, disabled, or die because their parent feared going to a clinic because they were not sure how to pay for it.

You can sign up by phone or online, or let people like us help you enroll your kids in Healthy Kids.

Healthy Kids 1-877-314-5678 / www.oregonhealthykids.gov

One more thing, enrolled or not, in-sured or not, every child can receive immunizations, either through their in-surance or through the Vaccines For Chil-dren program. Don’t wait any longer to get your child’s vaccines updated.

La Pine Community Health Center, my employer, is a part of the safety net of health care, and it is a part of this great community. It has become a Federally Qualified Health Center in the last year so that it can continue to meet the needs of its patients and expand the service of providing quality, compassionate health care for everyone in the area.

Sabai Healing Arts Center is pleased to announce that Jennifer Slater, Licensed Massage Therapist, will be joining our team of professionals. Below is a note to the community from Jennifer:

The old cliche “every dark cloud has a silver lining” is so very true! In the spring of 2006 I was finishing up my second year as an educational assistant and my 9th year as a coach at La Pine Middle School, when I learned y job was not going to be renewed. I was devastated! So I took a job working for Lin-da at L&S Gardens for the sum-mer, since I had no idea what I was going to do now. I had been getting massages while work-ing at the school and had one scheduled for right after school got out - nothing was going to keep me from it now; they are a wonderful stress reducer! I felt so much better after the massage and shared this with my co-workers. After hearing my praises for massage, one of my fellow workers re-ceived her first massage. When she returned she said, “You know, I think I could do that for a living.” I replied, “I think I could too.” I did some research and a little leg work and before I knew it, I was enrolled at COCC in the massage program. My daughter said I decided over night... well, not that fast, but it was quick and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. What a beautiful silver lining to a very dark cloud!

Hi, I’m Jennifer Slater; I am a licensed massage therapist. I have an Associates of Applied Science in Massage Therapy from COCC. This month is my two year anniver-sary in practicing massage. I have training in several modalities of massage, and have developed my own integrated therapy work directed toward therapy and pain reduction. I work with clients with chronic pain, acute injuries, fybromyalgia, and more - even sleeping and digestive problems. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my job! How many jobs have people coming in hurting, grumpy and physically “stuck” but leave smiling, upright and generally much improved? I think when clients get off my table they are often at their purest, most beautiful moments. This is truly a rewarding career!

I opened my practice doing mobile massage, and worked out of Bronze Beach, but when the opportunity arose to have my own room at Kroma Hair and Nail Design, I was on it! Sadly, due to unforeseen circumstances, Kroma had to move, and there was no massage room in the new place. Once again, a beautiful silver lining appeared in the form of Amy and Brad at Sabai Wellness Center. Sabai is a place of therapy, wellness and calm and I believe it will be a wonderful fit to the direction of my practice. I am very eager to join their team of healing and wellness and I thank them for this wonder-ful opportunity!

Yes, the darkest clouds have the brightest silver linings! I hope you will come see me at Sabai! I look forward to working with you!

So you have started your New Year’s resolution to lose weight and you have already experienced a slip up or two. Don’t worry...we all slip from time to time. The key is to learn to minimize your mistakes and learn from them.

Think of your mistake as a single event, a bump in the road on your way to success. Forgive yourself and move on. How can you learn to prevent another mistake? You can start by keeping a journal of your experiences. What did you eat? Where did you go? Was it a party? Who was there? Was it some-one who influences you in a negative way? How did you feel?

Once you can pinpoint the trigger that sent you to go off track, you can begin to find a workable solution. Ask yourself “What can I do different next time?”

The next strategy is to plan ahead. For instance, if you pinpointed your trigger to a party, you can sit down and form a gameplan to handle the next party with more suc-cess. Being prepared will make a world of difference. It can also help to tell someone else about your gameplan, they can help to keep you on track.

After the party, go home and write your experience in your journal. Include the gameplan you used this time and write its outcome. Was this gameplan a success? Did this gameplan need a little more fine tuning? There is nothing wrong with trial and error. Just try new ideas until you find the one that works.

Remember, THERE IS NO SuCH THING AS FAILuRE, ONLy OPPORTuNITy TO LEARN.

Let’s sum it all up real quick. Here is your five star strategy to success:

F Forgive yourselfF Keep a journalF Pinpoint your triggerF Form a gameplanF Get support

Now that you have the tools, I am sure you will be more successful in the future.If you have questions or need advice on other topics feel free to contact me at:Heather Dietrich (541) 610-7621. u

New cellular and texting restrictions went into effect on January 1, 2010, which has sparked debate on blogs and public gathering spots throughout the state. House Bill 2377 states that you may not use a mobile communication device while operating a mo-tor vehicle except in certain circumstances.

HB 2377 amends a previous Oregon Statute 811.507 that placed these restrictions on drivers under the age of eighteen. Now everyone over eighteen has these restrictions and drivers under the age of eighteen cannot use mobile communication of any kind, at all, while operating a motor vehicle.

Some exemptions in the bill allow for business related calls and calls for medical or fire emergencies while driving. Bend Police Traffic Officer, Ryan Shore, said, “Calls made must be within the scope of employment like plumber, florist, and delivery driv-ers. You can’t drive while you order Chinese food.”

Shore said, “We go by the drivers statement unless they appear intoxicated or im-paired, in which case we may confiscate their mobile device and confirm the last num-ber dialed but that driver’s biggest concern should not be how they used their device but their level of impairment.” He added, “We want people to use good judgment. We don’t want people getting killed due to texting and using their hands for other than driving.”

One way around these restrictions are hands free devices, all of which are accept-able for drivers over eighteen. Oregon State Trooper, Josh Nagle, said, “Drivers need to have two hands on the wheel. Texting requires much more attention down, away from traffic.” He added, “Persons under eighteen are not allowed any kind of mobile while driving.”

Bend Police Sergeant Chris Carney said, “Habits are hard to change. I haven’t seen anyone in violation while I have been in transit on official business or in my personal vehicle.”

The Oregon Department of Transportation HB 2377 Fact Sheet says the aim of the bill is to reduce distractions for drivers so Oregon roads are safer for everyone. It spe-cifically prohibits drivers from using a mobile communications device for talking or texting while driving unless the driver meets a specific exemption. Those in violation face a maximum fine of $142, (Class D violation).

Nagle said, “I have pulled one person over and only issued them a warning for op-erating a mobile communication device while driving.” He added that he could not see that anyone would see jail time or suspension of his or her driving privilege for violating the bill.

The wording of this bill is difficult to follow with “exceptions” under “certain cir-cumstances” for “some professions.” Checking with a lawyer before you drive and talk may not be a bad idea but not entirely practical. The standard response from all the of-ficers involved with this story is to drive safely, pay attention and, if you must talk on a hand-held or text, pull over and park to do it. u
