MAY 1st, 2012 NEWBERRY EAGLE Issue

At the La Pine Senior Activity Center Board Meeting on April 17th, there was a great deal of discussion about the future of the Center. After approving the new budget for the coming year, the board sharpened their pencils and began the task of evaluating where they stand with fundraising, energy-levels and expenses.

For years the Senior Center has stood alone as an example of what hard work and dedication can do for a group of determined individuals. During their long road to the

present site, they worked tirelessly to raise funds so they could build the wonderful center that sits on Victory Way.

Now, it seems that the hardest Senior Center workers are of an age where they are running out of steam. Fundraisers are lots of work without the results that they need to keep going. The catering, dances, Granny Pies, special dinners and parties are not attended by the membership and Andi Ferguson, Pat Potter, the wonderful

Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO) Update

At the City Council Meeting on Wednesday, April 25th, the Sewer and Water Districts met with City Councilors to formalize the final agreement for moving the two districts into the City. The two boards have been working for months with City Government to settle issues about how best to make the change. Every aspect of the administration of the individual districts had to be considered including how to transfer the financial management and the impact of changing to a new location for the many ratepayers.

In an interview three weeks ago, Steve Hasson said he was working hard to help make the transition smooth and easy for customers. The City wanted to be sure that customer service was a priority.

Ken Mulenex explained in an interview, “I was extremely pleased with the very high level of cooperation between the City Councilors and the Sewer and Water Board

SCOOTR Helps Blake-Gitchell Family

Within 1-week of Tina Blake losing her home to the tragic fire on April 2nd, South Central Oregon Outreach Toy Run, Inc. (aka: SCOOTR)—a motorcycle-oriented 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to helping families and benefiting the community) started working as an organization to cover some of Tina’s losses. SCOOTR has a policy where they take a poll of the members and can handle emergency requests with a minimum of five consenting SCOOTR members. In a meeting with the family, to determine what they needed most and then another to negotiate a deal with Little d Technology to provide young Rosie Blake with the tool she needed the most, the group worked for days to coordinate what they would do to help the family. All that was left was to get the family to a meeting by the

THE NEWBERRY EAGLE • MAY 1, 2012www.NewberryEagle.com

The La Pine Park & Recreation District will be hosting a walk/run/bike event as a fundraiser for the La Pine Park & Recreation Foundation. The Foundation supports the District through scholarships, fundraisers, and is currently leading the capital campaign to complete the La Pine Event Center.

The Big Pine event presented by Rebound Physical Therapy of La Pine, will take place at Finley Butte Park (51390 WALLING LN., LA PINE, OR) on Saturday, June 9th, 2012 at 8:00 A.M.

There are four events, 50-mile cycle, 25-mile cycle, 10k run/walk, and 5k run/walk. For each event the overall male and female winner will receive cash prizes; $100 each for the 50 mile cycle & 10k run/walk, and $50 each for the 25-mile cycle and 5k walk/run. The Foundation and the District would like to thank our sponsors; Fit Zone, Hutch’s Bicycles, La Pine/ Sunriver Physical Therapy, Rebound Physical Therapy of La Pine, Sabai Wellness, and La Pine Florist.

The cycling routes follow a low-traffic, well-paved forest service road through tranquil, second growth Ponderosa pine trees. The run/walk event is on forested, low-traffic trails and forest service roads. Routes for each event are posted at www.bigpine.org.

For more information about this event, go to www.bigpine.org, call the La Pine Park & Recreation District office at (541) 536-2223, or e-mail [email protected].

The La Pine Parks & Recreation District serves an 85 square mile area in Southern Deschutes County. The service population is approximately 15,000 people. The District operates a campground, community park, two meeting rooms, office space, community center and several under-developed parcels of land. For more information, call Justin Cutler, Director of Parks & Recreation (541.536.2223) or visit online at www.lapineparks.org. P

Deschutes Lodge for seniors. He explained that the builder, Rob Roy has developed a plan that includes the latest in green technology and it will be even more up-to-date! He told about the City’s new ordinances, the La Pine Industrial Group, Inc.’s (LIGI) agreement with Biogreen and mentioned that every day is fun as the City is exposed to new issues. He said, “We are going forward with the assimilation of the Water and Sewer Districts and will be a “one stop shop” by July 1st.”

Steven Hasson was introduced as La Pine’s new City Manager. “This is my ninth jurisdiction in 30 years of public service,” Steven told the group. “We are in the middle of a transition from County to City and we have just worked on setting goals for the City.” He went on to discuss the influence of the highway through town, the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) points that need to be met so that we can move forward and he touched on enforcement of the new ordinances. “We just bought a camcorder and are taking baseline pictures of each property in the City Limits to use for enforcement in the future.”

Justin Cutler (LPRD) addressed the group and talked about raising money to finish the Community Center (LPEC) “We have done the basic things and are working on the details that will make the space more exciting.” He discussed the different properties; Rosland’s 42-acre park, the little league ball-fields at Finley Butte and talked about the scheduled shows and events for LPEC. LPRD holds community school classes and is working to do more every month. “The LPEC is a real benefit to the community because it brings dollars into the community.” He showed the group where he was on his fundraising and then passed out a pamphlet that talked to the fundraising campaign.

Lee Smith, LIGI’s Executive Director, told the group about how South County is really making a statement by investing money into our area. There will be $25 Million invested into (Sunriver Homeowners’ Aquatic & Recreation Center) SHARC at Sunriver, the Newberry Geothermal project will add $43.8M now that the Department of Energy (DOE) and other sources have approved the next step of testing. Midstate is putting $4.7M into building warehouses and other projects, Interfor Lumber Mill is going strong —thinking about adding a second shift to cover their demands, and La Pine gets the business as the center for this area!

Bill Peck (SRO) told the story of going to homeowners in Sunriver to figure out how they would create a waterpark with new swimming pools for residents and Sunriver lodge visitors. The result was that each of the 4,177 property owners came up with $4,300 per lot to fund the 22-acre waterpark called SHARC. They broke ground a year ago and have completed a dream park for the area under budget and on-time. During their construction, 1% of all private construction in the State of Oregon was at Sunriver SHARC. The grand opening will be in Saturday, May 26th, but right now, all 8th graders at Bend-La Pine Schools are coming to the facility to use the pools. Sunriver is undergoing the completion of renovations throughout the resort and residential areas. There are new paths, upgraded buildings and Sunriver has that look of “Oh my gosh, this is beautiful” again!

Dick Luebke told about the Telecom fiber project that will be in every home in the Sunriver Village/Circle areas by 2014. It adds 1 Gigabyte capability to each home and people will be able to access the internet at that level for around $100 per month! (The SRO has decided that they would install the lines underground because it will save money and enhance business and residential capabilities of the entire Sunriver area. Sunriver Communications will take care of the project.

After a few business items on the agenda, there was time for others to share what was happening in their areas with the EDCO Board. Madras, Redmond, Sisters, Bend, Sunriver and La Pine were all present. COVA Director, Alana Audette-Hughson , attended on behalf of the Central Oregon Visitors Association (COVA). The next meeting will be on May 10th in Bend. For more information, visit online at: www.edcoinfo.com.m P

Mothers day is May 13th. She gave you life — and all you’re going to give her is a scarf?

Well, that might not be a bad idea, particularly if she asks for one, but this is a preparedness column! One of the goals is raising awareness of simple, inexpensive items that can be used to help folks get ready for disasters and emergencies.

We’ll be discussing personal survival kits in the next few weeks, so this time, we’re going to combine suggestions for Mother’s Day gifts with preparedness.

Here are some gift ideas. None of the items are expensive or hard to find.

Bandana: Here’s that scarf! A 100% cotton bandana has a multitude of uses, including wiping your nose, but it can also be worn on your head or neck to protect from the sun, be fashioned into an emergency bandage, be a signal device, or used as a towel or washcloth.

I have an agenda when it comes to the color. We know pink shows support for breast cancer victims, but my favorite, lavender, shows support for all victims of all forms of cancer. Get a list of the colors off the internet, decide which group you want to support and carry a bandana of that color; then when you use it, you may have a chance to explain the significance. The traditional red, incidentally, represents emergency preparedness!

Swiss Army Knife Classic: Your only survival knife is the one you have when you need it, so calling this dinky piece of key-chain cutlery a survival knife may be considered a stretch

in some circles! Mom can conveniently carry it with her car keys or in her purse, and she’ll soon find a multitude of uses for it. The Classic has a scissors, nail file, toothpick and the best tweezers in the world. The blade is only 1½-inches long, but it can handle many of the everyday cutting tasks that need to be done.

Mom will go from wondering, as I did, what good the little knife could be, to wondering how she got along without it.

Mini BIC® Lighter: I don’t smoke, but I always carry a small butane lighter. If I need to start a fire in the aftermath of an emergency or disaster, PLAN A is to flick the BIC®. I wrap my lighter with about two feet of duct tape. Duct tape is fine firestarter, and you won’t believe how often you will use it.

The “Survival Mom” Book: The author, Lisa Bedford, is my friend and author of the wildly successful website TheSurvivalMom.com. Her book is an easy read, and chock-full of expert advice. (Disclaimer: I am mentioned in the expert sources list.)

This is a great book to introduce mom to the concept of preparedness, without gloom-and-doom scare tactics or the wacko Doomsday Prepper approach.

These gifts can be a good start toward setting up mom’s own personal survival kit and getting the discussion started about preparedness.

You only get one mom: This Mothers Day give her something she can really use. P

How did you go about checking out houses?Cami: “Right away we started looking online all the time… Homes.com, Zillow, Prudential, John L Scott websites. That gave us a good idea of what we could get for the money. But we found out later that the photos online can be a little misleading. Quite often you find out the houses are trashed, when you get inside.”

I know you are looking with a Realtor now…Jon: “Yes. We are working with my best friend’s dad. He’s a Broker who has been in the business several years and we trust him. He knows what we are looking for and doesn’t show us things that don’t appeal to us. We want a house that is in good condition and is in a good location with a big garage. Most of the short sales and foreclosures need a lot of work. After looking a bit we found that investors were snapping up the low priced homes, anyway.”

Cami: “Now we are looking in the $150,000 range, but there is a lot of competition in that price range. Some of the places we are looking at are having 6 or more showings a day and our Realtor says they will end up selling for $10,000 - 20,000 over list price. We now know may have to go to $175,000 to get the right house. “

What kind of interest rates are you looking at?Cami: “Rates are good, 3.9 – 4% right now. That really helps keep our payment down and we can buy a little more house that we thought.” Jon: “It looks like we can get into a house we like for $5,000- $6,000 down and a little over $1,000 per month. For a conventional loan, the bank wants to see us have two months payments in reserve, too.”

Do you have any advice for young first time buyers like yourselves?Jon and Cami: “Save and Save. Save up more than you think you will need. But it’ll be worth it. We hope to buy something and be in it within the next 3 months. “Guess you can tell, I’m proud of these two. There is nothing like having your own place to call home. Hard work and making a few sacrifices is all worth it to have the opportunity of home ownership in America. P

My 23 year old son, Jon and his wife, Cami, are in the process of buying their first home. It will be in Bend. Although I was a Real Estate Broker for 25 years, I have been away from the real estate market for about 4 years and a little out of touch. They agreed to an interview for a story to share with our readers.

What made you decide to buy a house?“We wanted to have a place we could call our own and when you pay rent, it feels like you are just throwing your money away.”

How did you approach the process of buying? Cami: “We started making plans about a year ago to get married and buy a house. Julie Nash, with Bank of the Cascades had worked with our family in the past and both of our parents know her. I made an appointment with her to get some advice. She suggested I take a 6 hour Online Homebuyers course before going any further, so I would know what we were getting into. I took the course and received a certification.”

Jon: “We knew then that we had to raise money for a down payment. We started paying off our debts because we knew that would help our credit as well as make it possible to start saving for our down payment sooner.

Cami: “We didn’t have much of a life for a while, there, trying to cut back on anything extra. Before we went out looking at houses, we went back to Julie to get pre-qualified, to find out what price range we should be looking.”

Real estate

Here's a topic that's almost guaranteed to bring some heat.. the now classic question (or argument) with regard to which type of building construction is better to purchase.. "Stick Built" (classic on-site framed construction) or a home that has been, for the most part, "Manufactured" at a remote site and assembled, at least partially, on-site. There's a lot of strong opinions out there, so let's see if we can sort it out.

Ironically, one of the classic arguments, for both systems, is the notion of Strength of Construction. Those that favor frame construction will argue with great gusto that there is simply "no question" that a frame built home is, by its very nature, a more sturdy and better constructed structure, better suited to endure the rigors of time, weather, and well, just life. On the other hand, those in the Manufactured and Modular camp will argue the very same points. They begin by saying that the fact that the home has to survive getting delivered in the first place necessitates a level of construction that is stronger than any stick built home.

"Modular homes are the strongest of all frame homes built, because they are built with more framing and fastening materials to withstand the stress of transportation and erection." http://www.ritz-craft.com/about_advantage.cfm Manufactured homes are built using an assembly-line process that encourages a consistent high level of quality. Manufactured Homes are assembled within a climate controlled environment that does not expose construction materials to the elements. Conversely, a stick built home isn't constructed within cookie-cutter guidelines that limit flexibility. An on-site contractor has the freedom to make last minute modifications, corrections and/or improvements that are not always offered to the manufactured home customer. It is this very flexibility and overall versatility of design and/or construction of a framed stick-built home that allows for a level of superiority above and beyond that of the alternative.

Or so it's said.One positive argument concerning Manufactured/Modular construction is that it

is almost always much more energy efficient. But this isn't always a plus. Some manufactured homes are so "tight," that they are sometimes too efficient. Modern manufactured homes can seal the indoors so effectively from the outdoors, that "fresh" airflow from the outside can be virtually eliminated. Indoor air quality can actually be a problem with some manufactured homes if airflow is not carefully managed. On the other hand, that's a strange argument in favor of a relatively drafty stick-built. Lets just leave it as a matter of opinion beyond the scope of this venue to

determine what type of construction is superior. There are however, other factors to consider before purchasing either. How about price? Stick built construction whether superior or not is more expensive. No question. Manufactured home construction is highly efficient allowing for more bang for the buck. If you're a 200k or lower potential home owner, you can achieve a far higher level of "finish level," dollar for dollar, with a manufactured home. In our region of Central Oregon in particular, if you're looking for a home in this price range, there's a lot of very nice manufactured homes available with acreage and outbuildings. On the other hand, stick built homes under $150,k are few and far between, and what you can find is sometimes in need of a lot of TLC.

Unfortunately; however, manufactured homes are at times more difficult to finance and if the unit is, say, a single-wide made prior to June of 1976, well forget financing; its virtually impossible. Many lenders warn that such difficulty of financing will only increase in the near future, and some even argue that this potential difficulty of re-sale should be included among those items that must be formally "disclosed" to buyers.

Some people just look down on any kind of manufactured construction. Right or wrong, manufactured homes still, in some circles, carry the stigma of being "trailers" belonging in "trailer parks" while being occupied with residents of a corresponding negative demographic. These things should all be considered before you buy and especially if you ever intend to re-sell your beloved modular or manufactured home.

A huge percentage of us in this area have opted to take the manufactured route; myself included, but that doesn't mean everyone should follow suit. As a Realtor I sometimes catch myself leaning in both directions. I really do love my little double-wide above even the stick built homes I've owned before. For me, at the time I bought it—it made perfect sense. I will say however, that especially after being exposed to a lot of different alternatives, there's no question that when you walk into a particularly nice site-built home that the feeling is that you're no longer fooling around and have entered into a "real house." I'm a big manufactured fan, but there are times when the solid feeling of permanence and substance inherent in a quality stick built, simply can not be denied. Of course, it's one's own individual life circumstances that will determine the proper choice to be made in the end.

After two and a half years of service to La Pine, Justin Cutler, the LPRD Executive Director will depart our town and leave for the coastal community of Seaside, Oregon where he has taken a position of Executive Director starting in June. Cutler has accomplished a long list of ‘first time’ policies, procedures and fundraising grants that has made the difference between the initial renovation of the La Pine Event Center (Old Blue White School Building), the changes to Rosland Community Campground, the Little League fields at Finley Butte Park and the general clean-up of Audia Park, Leona Park and initial exploration into how best to communicate with the resident stakeholders.

Cutler also helped to form the La Pine Park District Foundation, a partner and friend to the district and the chief fundraiser for the future. The Foundation, led by Connie Briese, Bruce Abernethy and Howard Finck, is engaged in a capital fundraising campaign to finish Phase II of the LPEC. They are raising $265K in order to qualify for the same amount in matching funds. The figure will guarantee that the LPEC will have all of the amenities the community needs to be a real Community Center.

Board President, Arlo Fertig explained, “The board will meet and discuss plans to fill the position at the next board meeting. In the meantime, Cutler will continue in his position until the end of the fiscal year in June.” P

Bud Graham stopped by the Sportsman Jamboree with his wife Sharon to tell the attendees about their recognition in the latest national bi-monthly magazine Trap Shooter.

The Grahams have been active in the sport of trap shooting for years. Bud started in 1963. He was also responsible for the many educational programs that the organization sponsors for young shooters. The two of them have a stack of awards that they have accumulated over the years they have been competing. Bud has been the National Champion and is currently on the third All-Star Team. Sharon won placement on the First All-Star team for Women.

Congratulations to our local champs! You can find them both in the March-April issue of Trap Shooting Magazine. P

“I can’t keep going like I have,” said Vivian Cooper. “We need some of the younger members to step up and take the torch!”

The Facility is one of the points of pride for our town. The seniors are currently exploring options about other ways to secure funding or even management of the center. One consideration is to form a small Special District that will allow them to operate for all of the area from a small Tax base.

“We are talking about $100,000.00 operating budget at this time,” explained Katy Ecker. “With a staff or two, that amount would go up minimally, but so would the availability of the use of the facility by the public and we could work to do more things that cover interests of all of the members of both the New Senior and the Old Senior groups!”

The Senior Center needs an answer and we need to look at saving this building for our town. If you have ideas, please contact Katy Ecker at the Senior Center right away. 541.536.6237. P

STATE SENATE DISTRICT 28

LetterS to the Editor

The ballots are soon to hit the mailboxes and with that, you are given the responsibility to choose who will represent you in various elected positions.

My name is Karl Scronce and it would be a privilege to receive your vote as State Senator for District 28. Southern Deschutes County which includes La Pine is now included in this expanded District.

I made a decision to run for the position of Senator in December 2011. That decision was made based on reasons closer to my home in Klamath Falls, but later after filing, I realized the problems we as constituents suffered in the Klamath Falls area were even more widespread in other parts of the District.

As past president of a statewide association and national organization, I bring to the table a resume that includes experience in the process of government and how to accomplish the stated goals. The complexities of how our State Government works can be broken down into a very simple process: Talk and listen to your constituents, formulate a list of what you hope to accomplish during Legislative Session and finally, go work hard in Salem to accomplish your goals.

On January 2 when I filed for the position of State Senate, District 28, I was not personally acquainted with anyone in your community. Today, I know you through my many visits and involvement in community activities. That is the first step in good representation.

The second important step is to formulate a plan that fits with your community’s needs on State issues. I see many similar building blocks in my philosophy of government’s role in our lives as I see in yours. I believe in a bigger carrot, smaller stick form of regulation. I think we live where we do to exercise that independence but are respectful of our neighbor’s space. These values are what I have carried forward in my life and career. I have enjoyed talking to many on issues.

Please visit my website at Scroncecampaign.com for more information concerning my campaign and contact information. P

From Karl ScronceRecent Well Re-test Fails to Support the AgendaFrom John Huddle, Ed.D.

DEQ, Deschutes County and the USGS supported an agenda that nitrate-laden affluent from standard septic systems was loading the aquifer in the La Pine Basin. Many, including this author, pointed out that an agenda should follow scientific evidence and opposed the agenda. It was only after the insistence of members of the DEQ Steering Committee and the public that DEQ agreed to re-test a select number of wells. Citizens wanted to know if nitrates had increased over the sixteen years since the original sampling. A longitudinal study of nitrate levels in the water wells to support the agenda did not appear to exist.

The agenda began with the 1978-79 sampling of wells in the La Pine core area, an area with small lots, bottomless cesspools and antiquated septic systems. Many of those wells were elevated, apparently resulting in the assumption that the entire Basin would load with nitrates. DEQ sampled private water wells in the Basin from 1993 to 2001. In 1999, with funding totaling $10.4 million, DEQ and Deschutes County undertook the La Pine National Onsite Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Demonstration Project. At the same time, the USGS developed the computerized Nitrate-Fate Transport Model to predict nitrate loading in the aquifer for the Basin. The agenda built momentum in 2008 with Deschutes County ordinances requiring ATT systems (since repealed) continues today.

Opposition to the agenda included:Citizens commented they do not believe there is a problem. As far back as 1978-79,

there were rumors of wells “selected” to support the need for a sewer.The USGS Model has flaws. (a) The annual nitrate loading per household appeared

exaggerated by 20-30%. (b) The occupancy rate for the Basin seemed exaggerated. (c) USGS compared the Model to the 2000 well sampling (including wells drilled in septic drain fields) and to real estate well testing, observing that the measures like the mean were “similar.” However, that comparison failed to remove “outliers,” the anomalies that distort measures like the mean, elevating those measures and giving a false comparison that the Model was “true.”

No public agency has yet to demonstrate a cost-benefit analysis that demonstrates ATT systems or sewers are the most cost-effective solution to protect public health, if a problem exists.

This author obtained the data (1995-2011) from the wells in the re-test (n=37), and many other relevant sources, seeking an answer to the question. Does the private well test data support the nitrate-loading agenda? (The full report is available at www.johnhuddle.com.)

Findings from the analysis: The analysis looked at trends from nitrate levels in the well tests over time to see if the Basin or parts of the Basin were loading with nitrates. (a) Real estate well tests for the Basin (1989-2009) did not show increased nitrate loading. (b) Real estate test data for the Deschutes Recreational Homesites

area (many ½ acre lots) showed decreased nitrate loading to negligible levels. (c) The data from the re-test wells failed to show increased nitrates. Those wells showed a slight increase until 2000, decreased by 2011, with an overall

Rhubarb is a vegetable with a unique taste that makes it a favorite in many pies, desserts and BBQ sauces. It originated in Asia over 2,000 years ago. It was initially cultivated for its medicinal qualities; it was not until the 18th century that rhubarb was grown for culinary purposes in Britain and America. Rhubarb is often commonly mistaken to be a fruit but rhubarb is actually a close relative of garden sorrel, and is therefore a member of the vegetable family. Rhubarb is rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber.

Rhubarb is a perennial plant (the kind that grows from year to year) which forms large fleshy rhizomes and large leaves with long, thick (and tasty) petioles (stalks). Rhubarb stalks are commonly found in supermarkets, fresh rhubarb is prized by gourmet cooks and those of us that are so lucky to have it growing in our gardens. In our neck of the woods Rhubarb usually starts emerging from the soil about mid-April. If the weather is favorable, rhubarb is usually ready to harvest by the first of June.

When harvesting I grab a stalk right down where it emerges from the ground, and use a sort of rocking, twisting motion. Visualize snapping away a single celery stalk from the bunch. If the stalk is

grasped too high it snaps in two. Harvest no more than one third of your plant at a time. Remove the leaves and clean the stalks. The stalks can be stored for several weeks in the refrigerator or frozen. When freezing, cut into one inch chunks and place in a freezer bag.

When used in desserts, rhubarb will require sweetening to minimize the extreme tartness. It can be served as a sauce over ice cream, combined with fresh strawberries, or made into pies, tarts, puddings, breads, jam, jellies, and refreshing beverages. In case you forget,

rhubarb is a vegetable and can be used in any recipe that calls for tomatoes. Rhubarb makes a wonderful BBQ sauce and receives rave reviews in my world famous salsa.

To sample dozens of recipes using rhubarb, be sure to attend the High Desert Rhubarb Festival being held Saturday June 2, 2012 at L & S Gardens in La Pine, Oregon; hours are from 9 to 4.

See ad on this page in the Newberry Eagle. For more information or call Linda at 541-536-2049.

In all of those seed catalogs you are receiving you will find the tomato section. Tomatoes are not to be left out at night or have a heated greenhouse. Our extreme weather fluctuations do not make for the ideal climate for avid tomato growers. But if you are determined to grow your own tomatoes please read about the

difference in seed types.Before ordering you need to

know the difference between Determinate and Indeterminate tomato seed and make the choice for the type of plant you want.

Determinate tomatoes are varieties that grow to a fixed mature size and ripen all their fruit in a short period, usually about 2 weeks. Once this first flush of fruit has ripened, the plant will begin to diminish in vigor and will set little to no new fruit. These varieties are often referred to as “bush” tomatoes because they do not continue growing in size throughout the growing season.

Indeterminate tomatoes are actually vines that continue growing in length throughout the growing season. Also referred to as “vining” tomatoes, indeterminate tomato varieties will also continue to set and ripen fruit until killed off by frost. The majority of tomato varieties are indeterminate including most heirlooms and most cherry types. Some of my favorite indeterminate tomatoes include: Beefsteak, Big Boy and Brandywine. Early producing varieties like Celebrity and Early Girl are also indeterminate. However since they tend to mature earlier and die back before the end of the season, they are sometimes labeled semi-determinate.

Ripening time varies with

location and growing season and is influenced by soil and weather conditions, but the days to maturity cited on the seed packet will give you the approximate number of days from transplanting until the first fruits should ripen.

Keeping plants well-watered during the growing season, particularly during periods of hot days, will help ensure better yields and help control problems such as blossom end-rot. Blossom end-rot is a blackening of the fruit on the blossom end due to a calcium deficiency often related to water uptake. P

The older I get the more I act like my parents! Old, narrow-minded and judgmental!I am blown away by how juvenile adults who are in their thirties seem to be. I

cannot tell you how very different these younger generation individuals are from my own generation- in terms of growing up and taking on responsibilities.

My folks would be the first ones to tell you that when they were in their late teens and early twenties they were adults. They might have gone out and danced until dawn, but they went to work in the morning after a busy fun might out and when they established a home and family, it was all business! Some women worked, but most of them stayed home to raise the kids. Vacations were usually planned around family events and reunions and the occasional trip to Disneyland and for the very well to do, a trip to Mexico or Hawaii.

By the time a couple was entering their forties, they were looking at adult children and possible grandkids. Retirement was still twenty years off and empty nesters got involved with their communities in altruistic activities.

My generation, the one responsible for questioning everything about how we were raised in the sixties and seventies (the establishment) fell into line as adults by the time we were in our mid-twenties. There was a song that spouted the lyrics ‘Lather was 30 years old today’ and we all felt that to be thirty was the end of youth and the beginning of us joining the establishment. We might have been wild and crazy, but when it came time for us to fall back into the world, we grew up and went to work, got married and raised the generation I am talking about. H-m-m-m.

So, what am I saying? We have lots of people in their thirties who cannot seem to stop expecting things from society and their parents. It is a generation of entitlement and they are so busy doing the things that make them happy and fulfilled like going for weekend trips, dragging their own children along to every event and restaurant (and I might add- letting them run wild half the time) or spending time with leisure activities and personal fitness activities and hobbies that they don’t volunteer and they don’t try to accommodate anyone but their own little group of friends and family! So the people in their thirties act like they are in their early twenties.

The people in their forties and fifties are trying to be in their thirties and those of us who are in their sixties and seventies? Well you can squeeze, smooth, shape, dim the lights and dress to perfection, but 60 is not the new 40- even if Oprah said so! Puh-leeeeeeze!

I guess what I am saying is that aging is not the end of life; it is the beginning of being wise and wonderful. It is the time when you see how you can make contributions

to those around you- spend a little time with the grandkids, bake a cake for a sick friend, or help clean at your local church or charity. If thirty year-olds cannot act like adults, I am going to ignore them. If 70 year-olds act like they are too young, I may not pay attention to them, either! My point?

People are terrific at any age. Children are magical. Teenagers are inquisitive and they test the waters for all of us. Young adults are full of hope and ambition. Thirty-somethings are established and beginning their climb to success and making a difference in their profession. Forty year-olds are old enough to know that an individual can really impact society. When you are fifty you can do anything. By the time you are sixty, there is lots to look back at and you have experience that allows you to see the big picture. When you are seventy, you should be able to enjoy what you have and spend time doing some things that give you memories. In your eighties, it is all about the memories and you can share the stories with the younger folks so they will remember who you were. Any age? Just be who you are! P

Cancer AdventuresFirst of all, you have to understand

that Gary is the type who would pay to not have to stand up in front of people and speak. Keep that important detail in mind.

In 2004, Gary was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer at a relatively young age. Hormone therapy was prescribed. Not a cure, it basically buys us time.

And so we recruited a cancer team. Gary is the coach and I signed on as assistant coach. In no particular order, here’s what our team looks like:Medical Professionals & Treatments

Superstars. The doctors and medical treatments are our superstars, but a superstar can’t win games by himself – he needs the coach, the rest of the starting five, the bench.Nutrition

After doing some research, we came up with a common sense diet that works for us. We’ve increased our fruits, veggies, whole grains and legumes; eliminated unhealthy fats and sugars; and eat more seafood.

Check out our For Your Health Web site for general nutrition tips and scads of recipes. Physical Activity

Gary started walking two miles every morning before work. I don’t do 5:30am,

but on weekends we hike and snowshoe all over the beautiful Cascade Mountains near our home.

Here’s an interesting tidbit: nutrition and physical activity, when combined, are exponentially more effective than the benefits of each … separately. (You followed that, right?)

The map featured on the opposite page features some of our many hikes we have taken.

Stress ManagementHaving cancer is stressful. On the

entire family.As much as we’d like to frequent a

spa, we’ve learned to manage stress in simple ways.

One of the things we do is date each other more. I love it when Gary asks mid-week, What are we doing for our Friday night date?

Getting outdoors, practicing living in the present and keeping long thanksgiving lists – this is how we manage the stress.Support SystemWe’ve been a strong support for each other and have some pretty amazing friends and family members that have been very caring and supportive. And we found it was critical to connect with others within the cancer community.Positive Attitude

Gary says that when I talk about our future together, it gives him hope. For example, we’d like to hike the Swiss Alps. We’ve been stashing away funds in a separate savings account and we recently got our passports up to date.Having realistic goals, determining first steps, and then working in the direction of our dreams has been a very hope-giving, positive exercise for us.Faith

People have asked us if cancer has driven us to finding faith, or if we already had faith.

We already had faith.We believe that someone larger than

we are created us for a purpose … that things don’t just happen randomly, but God is able to bring good out of everything, even a diagnosis of cancer.Finding purpose

“So, if we have cancer,” Gary asks, “what can we do to make the journey easier for others?”

We began sharing our story at cancer centers and medical conferences; to community and church groups; and in classrooms of high school, college and nursing students.

We published a book of short stories – Cancer Adventures: Turning loss into triumph – about cancer heroes who are giving back

March 5th, 2010 marked the 7th annual community-wide Ladies Church Tea. 110 women of various denominations from over 9 local churches and 6 churches from out of the area braved the snowy elements to attend. It was held at the La Pine Christian Center on the corner of Day Road and Mountain View Lane in La Pine, Oregon. The theme of Unity in Sisterly Love was well received.

Visitors were treated to a beautifully decorated hall. Individual hostesses were responsible for the placement and

décor of their own table. Each of the many round tables was decorated with fine china, flowers and tea services in c o o r d i n a t i n g

colors ranging from lavender, cobalt blue and spring-green to gold and silver. The visions of such lovely accoutrements gave encouragement and excitement to the winter-weary guests. Cold weather apathy gave way to interest, decorum and zest.

Photographer Don Habner was on-hand before, during and after the event, to “make some memories” of this special occasion.

The coordinator, Marie Grant, opened in prayer and welcomed the ladies to an afternoon of both spiritual and physical refreshment. She encouraged them to relax and enjoy the fellowship of friends both new and familiar; to enjoy some excellent music, special foods and the sharing of The Word by their guest speaker.

Beginning with the musical focus of the day, Marie introduced both a soloist and a trio group. Prelude music was performed by the beautiful and talented Lillian Jones, who is a master on the accordion. This led the women attending the Tea into a mood of worship and praise. This flowed into more musical arrangements presented by a trio of lovely and talented ladies: Angi Graham [lead singer/vocalist], Ali Graham [keyboardist], and Elisha Fields [guitarist]. The trio began with a special number presented by Ali Graham, who sang one of her original compositions called HIS DAY, while backed up by Elisha and Angi. They continued by treating the audience to some contemporary Christian music. And finally Lillian Jones again inspired everyone with more hymns and choruses

played on her lively accordion. Marie Grant introduced the guest

speaker, Reverend Donalee Phillips. This lady is a seasoned preacher, teacher, evangelist, poet and musician with over 50 years in ministry. Pastor Donalee, as she is called, is currently the associate pastor for Grace Fellowship Church of the Nazarene of La Pine. She began her speech with Christian humor, then shared the Scriptures from a grass roots perspective of life coupled with a Southern accent, more delightful humor and country charm. Focusing on what Christians have in common, she stressed “We are called to be one through the cross of our Lord. We are one through the cross, in that we are allowed a diversity of administrations, but still we are still bound together… for regardless of our denominations…we share a common promise…we are one in the Spirit”. She based her sermon on Ephesians 4:4:

“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.” This Spiritual Food for thought, was followed the by joyous, corporate singing of “We Are One In the Spirit”, an old camp meeting song with Native American roots.

At this interval, the seventh Annual Tea offered the group delicious physical foods. An abundance of homemade fancy Tea-sandwiches, veggies, dips and crackers, scones, cookies, candy and finger foods of all kinds delighted the guests. Naturally, all of the china tea services were put into use, serving prolific amounts of fresh brewed tea to the assembly.

The finale of the tea was marked by door prizes, more photographs, fun, and laughter. Door prizes were given to those with numbers on their name tags; and awarded to women who traveled the farthest, or who were the oldest attendees. What a grand conclusion to a fine time of worship, fun, food and fellowship!

We wish to offer a special thank-you to Don Habner for giving of his excellent skills as a photographer; and a thank you to the local merchants who donated their services and door prizes to the Tea. May God bless each and every one for their generosity and kindness.

Please join us next year for the Annual Community Ladies Church Tea! P

Annual Community Ladies’ Church Tea

By Rev. Donalee Phillips associate Pastor, Grace Fellowship COTN

I finally realize what a heathen is. It is a person who gulps down a fine dessert in four big bites and does not savor anything, but instead, swallows as quickly as he can and declares, “That was good.”

Sometimes I want to open up a business that teaches manners to people of all ages. I know that even mine are getting rusty. I find myself talking with my mouth full sometimes and I know I am too loud most of the time. Would re-learning the civility that we were raised with help in today’s society? You darn betcha’!

I have recently been playing with compound butters. Have you used them? Garlic bread is made with butter and herbs and spices- so you have probably eaten a few different kinds and never thought about it. What I will tell you right now is that when you whip up a stick of butter with a few flavoring agents, you are opening a door to possibilities for new tastes and new ideas.

Orange-honey butter: Take 2 sticks of softened butter and whip them with two tablespoons of honey and a tablespoon of orange concentrate, a tablespoon of orange juice and the zest of an orange. Serve this butter on biscuits and scones or pancakes or on roast chicken right out of the oven for a dash of sweetness. It ages very well and you can wrap this or any of these recipes in a log wrapped with wax paper and then foil to keep and slice when served.

Lemon butter is one of my very favorite things for on top of sautéed veggies, asparagus or shrimp. 2 Sticks of butter softened and add the juice of a large lemon and the zest of a large lemon and whip. Roll up and serve in slices on the above or on top of a well-cooked steak or baked chicken breast for a ton of flavor and o-o-hs and ahs at the table.

Garlic butter: You can use this on bread or anything that would taste better with butter and garlic! 2 sticks of softened butter mixed with a tablespoon of finely chopped mixed Italian herbs and two Tablespoons of roasted garlic (easier on the stomach and milder to taste). This needs to be carefully wrapped or your fridge will pick up the odor very easily. I use a Tupperware type container that does not let the smell out and I slather this on bread, pasta, meat and anything that needs a little Mediterranean flavor!

Another fan favorite from long time ago is my Peanut Butter, Honey and Butter mix. I use 1 stick of butter, ¼ cup of honey and 2/3-3/4 cup of butter. Beat until light and fluffy and keep in the fridge until you need it for sandwiches, the top of a bowl of oatmeal, biscuits or whatever you like to spread it on. This spread is wonderful on a piece of fresh French bread torn right off the loaf with a bowl of canned peaches for lunch or a light supper. It is one of those OMG moments you experience and it will take you to a very happy tasting place!

Have a good time with these butters. Bon appetit! P

Everything La Pine

SUNRIVER – LA PINE -- The Eagle Advantage Marketing Group released its latest business and tourism marketing tool on April 25th. “The Sunriver Experience” is a powerful mobile app that brings everything that Sunriver, Oregon has to offer into a very convenient and easy-to-use centralized resource for the Mobile Phone user. The new user-friendly app instantly opens to a complete menu of Sunriver options. The user

just clicks on colorful buttons for Shopping, Lodging, Vacation Rentals, Restaurants and Attractions, which include playful titles like: “Golf Stuff”, “Summer Stuff”, “Year Round Stuff”, and “Winter Stuff”.

David Harms, Eagle Advantage Marketing Group partner and developer of “The Sunriver Experience” released a similar app, “Everything La Pine” in March of this year. It is already enjoying more than a thousand page views a week. The new apps are available FREE on Apple Market, I-Tunes and Droid App Market, Play Store. Harms says, “We are all about providing opportunities for Sunriver and La Pine businesses to make themselves easily accessible to local residents and visitors alike. Users just click on the business

listing and their phone will connect to the business number or they can touch a “Map-it” button to display their location on a map.”

Mobile is the fastest growing media in the world and is showing no sign of slowing down. There are already more people who communicate via text messaging than with email. More people now own cell phones than credit cards. Google’s CEO has been reported to say that mobile use is growing faster than even Google’s internal predictions. Mobile marketing presents the opportunity for brands to connect with consumers at the right time, the right place and with the right message. The average smartphone users spend 667 minutes a month using mobile applications.

These two new mobile apps have the potential to put “Newberry Country” Communities and Businesses (Sunriver, La Pine, and North Lake and Klamath Counties) in front of a new, and rapid growing audience. Every business in the area may list their business FREE of charge. There is an option for additional promotion of their brand with banners, ads and coupons along with affiliated print media.

Eagle Advantage Marketing Group and its partners work with businesses to explore and develop an innovative and effective approach to marketing their products and services through an appropriate mix of print, internet, radio, social media, direct mail and mobile applications.

Recent Well Re-test Fails to Support the AgendaFrom John Huddle, Ed.D. trend of zero (0.002575). (d) Finally, comparing the real

estate sale tests surrounding the elevated wells (5 mg/L) failed to show an upward trend. (See figure 1 on page 9.)

For future investigation, the analysis looked at relationships between nitrates and other variables, to see if something influenced (but not necessarily caused) the nitrate levels. The deeper the well or the screen the less likely elevated nitrates. The deeper the depth to a layer of impermeable soil, like clay, lessened the likelihood of elevated nitrates. Repairing a septic system increased the likelihood of elevated nitrates. Finally, the greater the precipitation, the greater the likelihood of elevated nitrates in the wells that were elevated (over 5 mg/L). (Figure 2 top right.)

Wells with a sampling over 5 mg/L showed wide sample fluctuations. Some had the

wellhead below ground level. Agriculture run off probably accounted for two elevated wells. A well adjacent to a reservoir showed a very strong relationship between precipitation and nitrate level. Three wells with elevated samples were in the now sewered areas of La Pine. One property did not show a septic permit. One well was located just north of an old sawmill and an abandoned road became elevated too soon for the source to be from a septic system. Two wells along the Little Deschutes River had a history of septic system repairs and showed moderate relationships to precipitation and nitrate levels. Another well originally had a substandard septic system within 100 feet of the well. The last well was at the edge of Klamath County in an area with gravity irrigation. (Figure 3 bottom left).

There are important lessons from the analysis. (a) The soil layers suggested that that an impermeable layer flushes the nitrates. Otherwise, wells with contaminated samples would show consistency while more wells became elevated. If nitrates pool around a badly constructed well on top of an impermeable soil layer, no septic system, including an ATT, would prevent eventual contamination. (b) Expensive ATT system requirements and permit fees pose barriers to septic system repairs, a possible source of contaminate. (c) It is important to have proper well construction, such as a good seal and well depth while keeping contaminate away from the wellhead. (d) Finally, the available data suggested but left unanswered what caused the elevated wells, an area for future investigation.

These findings did not support the agenda. According to the well test data, the Basin is not loading with nitrates. After sixteen years and millions of taxpayer dollars, and an extensive analysis of the data (thousands of data points and countless hours of analysis), no trend of nitrate loading emerged. P

This Mother’s Day, Think of Lifetime Financial Moves to Help kids

Most brokers will tell you that investing in a 401(k) is animportant way to save for retirement. What few bother tosay is that it’s not enough just to have a 401(k).

To get the most from your 401(k) when you retire, youhave to actively manage it now. At Edward Jones, we’llwork with you to help ensure that your 401(k) portfolioaccurately fits your goals. So your 401(k) can work for you,not the other way around.

To learn how Edward Jones can help you make sense of your 401(k), call or visit your local financial advisor today.

IS YOUR CHECKBOOK MORE BALANCED THAN

YOUR 401(k)?

Bob Cox, AAMS®Financial Advisor.

If you’re a mother, you’ll probably get some nice cards and flowers on Mother’s Day. But of course, your greatest gifts are your children themselves. And since you want to see them happy and financially secure, perhaps you can use this Mother’s Day as an opportunity to consider ways to help your children at various stages of their lives.

So, let’s take a look at steps you can take:When Your Children Are Young

• Teach them to be savers — Encourage young children to put away part of their allowance, or any money they receive for household jobs, in a savings account. Offer to match their contributions dollar for dollar.

• Help them become investors — Consider giving your children a few shares of stock in companies with which they are familiar. By following the movements of their stocks with them, you can explain how the markets work and how increasing share ownership is one key to helping build wealth.

• Contribute to a college savings plan — One of the best things you can do to boost your children’s chances of success in life is to help them go to college. You’ve got several good college-savings vehicles available, such as a 529 plans, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and custodial accounts. Your financial advisor can help you choose the vehicle that suits your needs and objectives.

• Maintain adequate life insurance — When it was just you, it was a good idea to have life insurance — but now that you have a child, it’s an absolute necessity.

When Your Children Enter the Working World• Encourage IRA contributions — An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a great

retirement savings vehicle. As long as your children have earned income, they can contribute to an IRA, so you may want to help them “max out” on their contributions each year. While you can’t directly contribute to a child’s IRA, you can write a check to your child and encourage him or her to use it for funding an IRA.

• Make long-term care arrangements — If you needed long-term care, such as an extended nursing home stay, and you had inadequate financial preparations, the burden could fall on your children. Now is the time to consult with your financial advisor to begin preparing for possible long-term care costs.

When Your Children Reach Middle Age• Communicate your financial situation and estate plans — Don’t leave adult

children in the dark as to your financial information. Share everything you can about how much you own, where you keep your assets and how you plan to eventually distribute them. By clearly communicating your situation and wishes now, you can avoid major problems later.

• Create a durable power of attorney — By creating a durable power of attorney, you can appoint another person, such as an adult child, to conduct your business and financial affairs if you become physically or mentally incapacitated. Such a move can help reduce stress your children may be feeling, while allowing them to make moves that can help preserve your finances. Mother’s Day commemorates the special bond that mothers have with their

children. By following the above suggestions, you can help strengthen that bond throughout your lifetime.

I am a member of the Collective Visions art quilt group whose projects resemble works of art rather than traditional quilts. The traditional three layers (top, batting and backing) — found in quilts — are maintained; however, the art takes over with original design and innovative embellishments including: paints, inks, beads, yarns and special fibers. Each member of the group designs a pattern that is divided into sections and given to the other members of the group. The artists independently complete the sections and return them to the original designer who then joins and finishes the quilt.

I began my quilting career in the 1980’s as a traditional quilter, but soon came to the conclusion that I enjoyed doing pieces which were a little ‘outside the box’. After viewing a trunk show by Cassandra Williams, I met a few like-

minded people, became a member of a guild, and thus the inception of Collective Visions (fractured quilts) came into being. The group has evolved and members have changed; however, I remained as one of the three original artists.

The designs for the first three pieces, which I designed were inspired by images from various Dover Books which were copyright-free.

The first one completed is titled “Bamboo Gardens”. The original image is the part on which the butterflies and flowers reside. Five members of the group at that time (Carol Dougan, Joanne Baethe, Susie Fitts, Dona Ford and myself) created this piece. The piece was painted, trapuntoed, beaded, thread-painted, stenciled and quilted. Wire-crochet, melted yarns and recycled pieces of jewelry were also used. Once the main focus piece was completed, I added the

black and white borders on the top and the left sides. These were done via cutouts of the black material and stenciling.

My second endeavor for this group was a water scene entitled “The Pondering Life”, which is actually three separate pieces which hang as one. The section with frogs was the original pattern done by Carol Bowen, Joanne Baethe, Dona Ford, Susan Massini, and myself. It was accomplished through painting, beading, trapunto, fusing of fabric, creating silk fabric with rovings, thread-painting, and quilting. Once again, it felt as if the piece was begging for more to complete it. I used hand-

dyed silk ribbons adorned with various fabric and wire beads, which I had made to emulate the feeling of marsh grasses. The bird on the far left was done by quilting the image first and then adding numerous layers of color through the use of colored pencils, watercolor pencils and gel pens.

The last piece of this display is an tropical underwater scene titled “Sushi Anyone”. This piece was constructed in a different manner than the first two in that the five participants (Joanne Baeth, Cheryl Carbone, Dona Ford, Susan Massini and myself) each completed e l e m e n t s

i am Klamath county Sheriff candidate, Brian Bryson. like you, i have felt the budget crisis in Klamath county - not only as a citizen, but also as a Sheriff’s deputy sworn to protect and serve. as a resident for over 40 years and a deputy for 16, i have the work ethic, commitment and experience needed to lead the Klamath county Sheriff’s office efficiently and effectively. My Law EnforcEMEnt ExpEriEncE incLudEs:• February 1996 – reserve deputy KcSo• november 1996 – Jail deputy• november 1997 – Jail Field training officer• march 2003 – corporal, supervising deputies & inmate Work crews• october 2002 to 2007 – reserve officer for KFPd

• Field training officer• honored to be 2010 exchange club - KcSo officer of the year• over 1900 hours of dPSSt training to date.

in the last 16 years with the Sheriff’s office, i have learned what works and what doesn’t. Sheriff evinger began, promoted, and upheld outstanding programs such as Search & rescue and the mature Volunteer Program (mVP). While it is unfortunate that county budget issues have affected not only the department, but the county as a whole so extensively, we haven’t given up! What the Sheriff’s office provides for Klamath county is essential and positive.

as shEriff, My iMMEdiatE pLans incLudE:• Working with the Klamath county commissioners to fund at a

minimum of 2 pods in the Klamath county Jail; however, i prefer to operate all 3

of the design and then I created the background for the elements to be placed on. The piece includes the use of free machine embroidery, beading, painting, ribbons, yarns, texture magic and lots of other techniques and fibers. It is a very dimensional and interesting piece. The outside border is made from wool felt and has seashells attached to it.

Being a member of this group has been a very special experience for me. Not only have I gotten to know and become friends with some wonderful people, but they have caused me to grow as a fiber artist in ways which I had never imagined. I highly treasure the relationships and education which I have garnered over the past seven years.

This 9 part series that will be authored by the American Red Cross, Klamath County Emergency Management, and Klamath County Public Health. During this series we will explain how to prepare for major (or minor) disasters and what to put in a 72 hour kit, how to store it, and why it is vital that we each have at least one kit for our home, work and car. We will also provide ideas on how to network with your neighborhood and get involved with your community to increase your preparedness.

Natural or human-caused disasters can strike suddenly, at anytime and anywhere. The possibility of an emergency can be unnerving especially in wake of recent tornados, tsunamis, acts of terrorism, and the threat of pandemic flu in the United States. Though it may feel impossible to be ready for the unexpected, the truth is that you can be prepared. You can save your life by taking the simple steps of building a 72 hour kit, making a plan, and getting trained.

Throughout the series will highlight the top hazards in Klamath County and will give tips on how to best prepare for these hazards.

72 Hour Kit: Step 1 What you have on hand when a disaster strikes can make a big difference. It may take some time for professional emergency responders to get to you, so plan on storing enough supplies to last three days. At the end of each article we will provide information regarding basic supplies you need to have on hand in case of an emergency. These items should be kept in a durable but easy to carry container such as a large covered trash can or overnight backpack. This week find a container in your house and add containers of water.

You will need more water than you might think. Each person needs one gallon of water per day, for drinking, cooking, and sanitary needs; so, put three gallons of water per person in your kit. The same amount is needed for each pet. To lighten your kit, consider having enough iodine tablets or a filter on hand to purify water instead of carrying bottles.

Tips & Other Water Sources:

Fill up the tub if you have time and utilize the water in your water heater or toilet tank (not the bowl), unless you have added chemical treatments to the tank. Do not use this water for drinking until it is purified.

Any water with uncertain purity of must be treated. The Red Cross can provide you with instructions on how to distill water.

In the event of a disaster, it is important to quickly turn off water to avoid flooding or possible contamination. Locate the main water valve and label it for quick identification. If you need to turn the water off, turn the valve clockwise until it stops.

with the intent of inspiring others to look for purpose. Because we happen to think that’s part of living well.

We created a Central Oregon Trails web site to encourage physical activity and designed a nutritional recipe site where we’ve posted more than 90 recipes.

Gary says that whenever he can encourage or inspire someone else, it gives him a boost. This from the guy who would pay to not speak in front of people.

Victory – So what does victory look like? For some, it may be a complete cure; for others, it might be living longer than expected. For us, victory represents living well with cancer even when there is no proven cure.

Cancer is not anything we would ever wish on anyone else, but it has enhanced our marriage and family relationships. It’s caused us to rethink our priorities, make some healthier living choices, take more risks and create adventure.

And for this, we are grateful. P

Cancer Adventures(Continued from page 16)

Who are we and what do we do?La Pine, South Deschutes County, Northern Klamath County and Western Lake

County collectively have a large population of Veterans Many of these Veterans need help and many Veterans are willing to help. In recognition of this, COVO is working with community partners in South Deschutes County to expand available services for Veterans.

Central Oregon Veterans Outreach (COVO) is an advocate for veterans of all generations with a main office in Bend. Our mission is to serve, assist and create support for veterans who reside in Deschutes Crook, Jefferson, and parts of Harney, Lake and Klamath counties. COVO has four (4) major areas in which we support veterans:

Homeless Outreach Program provides clothing, gear, food, water, propane, and other sustenance items as well as mobile medical and dental service vans to the homeless veterans living in camps, homeless shelters and transitional housing.

Veteran Service Office in COVO has a certified VSO who advocates for veteran seeking health, pensions or disability benefits from the Veteran Administration.

Homeless veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) is a jobs training program that assists homeless veterans re-enter the labor force and access the hidden job market to find long term employment. Once in a desirable job with livable wages, these veterans can reclaim a position in society that they deserve.

Veterans Housing Program has a growing inventory of COVO managed programs and properties that provided emergency, transitional and permanent housing solutions for homeless or at-risk veterans. COVO operates an Emergency/Transitional Housing Program in Bend in partnership with Bethlehem Inn, housing for homeless male and female veterans, and housing for Veterans families including a house in La Pine.
