The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) has received a grant of $100K to renovate a house in La Pine that will be rented to a local Veteran’s family at a subsi-dized rental price. The lucky recipient will go through a local committee review and be qualified for the renovat-ed residence with an application process that is about to be opened for public consideration. Chuck Hemingway from the Veteran’s Outreach in Bend, is very excited that La Pine has qualified for the grant.

During the beginning of the Obama Stimulus pro-gram, monies were set aside to assist rural areas where there were high percentages of bank owned properties, neighborhood blight and foreclosures. These monies were to be used to buy properties outright and renovate

them for use as subsidized housing. Bend and La Pine applied for the grant and La Pine received the award with Bend designated as the agent for NSP-2 dollars.

The current La Pine property is a one acre parcel with fenced corral, an RV barn and 4 bedrooms. It is located on Jory Road, and was purchased by Veteran’s Outreach. Now a contractor and his teams of carpenters, plumbers and electricians are busy working on bringing the build-ing up to code and finishing the details that were started and left undone by the former owners. Work will be com-pleted when they add curb appeal. The project should be ready for applicants to apply on August 20th when the contractor turns the keys over to the Veteran’s Outreach Committee.

CAG continues to fight for transparent and responsive government. Recently, CAG members prevented a new taxing authority. The members also forced a revisit of the South Deschutes and North Klamath County ground water protection issue. In addi-tion, CAG advocated for veteran’s issues. CAG members now question the lack of a college education center in La Pine. CAG states: “Ýou can make a difference!”

CAG members vigorously fought to stop end-run land use bills sponsored by Rep-resentatives Conger (R, District 55, Bend), Huffman (R, District 59 The Dalles), Mc-Clane (R, District 59, Powell Butte) and Whisnant (R, District 53,

City of La Pine - Job announCement

City Recorder / Finance Officer (Non-Represented, overtime-exempt position)

Do you take pride in your city and our community? Of course, you do! I detect it every time I talk to someone. I hear regularly about our unique, friendly spirit, com-ing together to help our neighbors, we pitch in, our “can-do” ways, which gives us that pride. It is obvious when I hear all of this, I can feel all the passion. La Pine is known for accomplishing so much with so little!

I am very proud to tell people when I travel, that I’m from La Pine. It gives me that chance to share with them, so many of the qualities that makes La Pine such a great place to live, work, and play.

I’m also very proud of what has happened in and around La Pine since we started looking at how we can clean up our city. There are groups, businesses, and even more, individuals, in town that have stepped back, looked at their property, and said, “we can fix this”. One in particular, that I’m extremely proud of, is the Mountain View Motel’s tremendous effort in cleaning up their property. All of this adds to the many organizations, residences and businesses who proudly maintain, on a daily bases, their properties.

I can also point to the Senior Center. They are working to clean up their property frontage. At their last board meeting, they adopted a landscape maintenance plan that calls for appointing a manager to oversee the ongoing upkeep of their landscape.

Then there are those who daily rise to the challenge and continue their passionate efforts in what they do, from SCOOTR to the Community Kitchen. They go out of their way to “do their thing” which adds in no small piece to the pride and uniqueness of La Pine.

I attended the ribbon cutting of the new preschool playground for small children at Finley Butte Park last week. It was funded by the Sunriver Rotary in collaboration with the La Pine Park & Rec District (LPRD). The ribbon was no more cut, than the young kids jumped on it! Now, that made my heart leap with pride as it confirmed in me, things are getting done and I know it is happening because of the passion held by those involved.

Along with that is the direct efforts of the LPRD with the massive revamping and remodeling of the La Pine Event Center (old While School building). Think of the ad-ditional pride we’ll have when the work is completed.

Having spoken to all of this, I will ask you to remember, that while you may not agree with each and everything that has come to be in La Pine of late, or that is cur-rently in progress, you cannot fault those directly involved because it’s an honest and committed passion for what they do.

So please don’t let these small distractions you have hold back your level of pride in our city, community and/or any of the many great organizations, one of which may be your favorite. If it wasn’t for the passion of all those who, from the beginning, moved forward where would be! $

City Goes With Same Law Firm, on Contractual Basis La Pine City Council put out a request recently that called for a law firm to use for

municipal legal matters. It was an easy decision to choose a firm because only one had sent a proposal. This was okay by the City, since it was hopeful that they would stay with Bryant, Lovelein and Jarvis of Bend, but this time on a contractual basis.

New City Auditor Selected As required by Oregon law, the city will need to do yearly internal audits to main-

tain the integrity of its record keeping. Even more so since creating a Public Works de-partment that will provide the utilities to city residents. During the August 10 meeting, the council selected Pauly, Rogers and Co., out of Tigard, Oregon. Pauly, Rogers, and Co. are one of the largest municipal auditors in the state and specialize in non-profit, municipal, and corporate auditing.

The contract for the auditors will be at least two years in order to lower the learning curve of the company when working consecutive years on La Pine’s records. Upcoming Work Session with Animal Control Discussion

Work session scheduled for Wednesday evening, September 14th will discuss ani-mal control within the city of La Pine. Public welcome. For time of meeting; check city website at www.ci.la-pine.or.us, or call 541-536-1432. $

Dear Newberry Eagle Editor:I would like to voice my praises to the City of La Pine Mayor, Ken Mulenex and

Deschutes Commissioner, Anthony DeBone for their personal interest in the clean up project of the City of La Pine. It has made a positive impact at the trailer park where I live. the owner and property manage have been doing back breaking work on a major clean up with repairs and landscaping in the works. Some of the neighbors have even become involved.

Thanks to all of you for this awesome project. I love the beautification, and take pride in where I live. Kudos!

If you are interested in sharing your outreach we would like to know if we can get that information out there and put you on our list of resources. There are many unmet needs and if you would like to choose something, such as auto repair, homeless kits, housecleaning, haircuts, transportation and school supplies, etc. We would love to have you do so, and it will be a huge blessing to the community.

All churches that participate will be listed as a community resource as well as par-ticipating non- profits.

Deschutes County News

Deschutes County has been chosen to receive $109,977 in federal funds to supplement emergency food and shel-ter programs in Deschutes County. The awards are based upon total number of unemployed as compared to the total number of unemployed in all qualifying jurisdictions in the country.

The selection was made by a Na-tional Board that is chaired by the De-partment of Homeland Security’s Fed-eral Emergency Management Agency, and is composed of representatives from national charities and relief orga-nizations which provide supplemental funding to shelters, soup kitchens, food banks, rent, mortgage, and utility as-sistance programs, such as The Salva-tion Army, American Red Cross, United Jewish Communities, Catholic Charities USA, National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and United Way of America. The Local Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Con-gress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country.

A Local Board made up of local charities and local government repre-sentatives will determine how the funds awarded to Deschutes County are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local ser-vice organizations in the area. The Local Board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds available under this phase of the program.

Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local organizations chosen to receive funds must: 1) be a private voluntary non-profit or a unit of government, 2) have an accounting sys-tem, a DUNS number, and a valid email address, 3) practice nondiscrimination, 4) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and 5) if they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board. Qualifying organiza-tions are urged to apply.

Deschutes County has distributed Emergency Food and Shelter funds pre-viously to many non-profit organizations in Bend and Redmond, and to LaPine Community Kitchen and St. Vincent de Paul. These agencies were respon-sible for providing additional emergency meals and emergency nights of lodging with last year’s Emergency Food and Shelter federal funds.

Public or private voluntary organiza-tions interested in applying for the Emer-gency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Jane Wendell at United Way of Deschutes County at 541-389-6507. The deadline for applications is Tuesday August 9, 2011.

Community Partner programs impact one in four lives in Deschutes County each year and focus on help-ing kids get a great start in life, keeping youth on track for success, meeting basic needs of individuals and families, and keeping children and families safe from violence and abuse. $

On a cool Sunday morning in late July, nineteen people from different area churches caravanned to the San Quentin area of central Baja Mexico. On the way, the met in San Diego with seasoned missionaries Dr. Chance and Lisa Steffey - past CEO and doctor from La Pine Community Health Center. Leading the La Pine group was Kyle Kalmbach and his wife Michelle. Kyle is a well-liked middle school teacher and a past State of Oregon Award recipient.

After arrival at the mission’s base and a briefing by missionary Todd Fink and fam-ily, the troop got to work.

Many gifts were provided to a very poor neighborhood church in San Quentin. The Pastor and his family were delighted to have the front of his home rebuilt and sealed from watershed, two doors installed, bathroom privacy upgrades, and even repainting the entire exterior of the church. In addition to the labor, four days of vacation bible school helped 34 children devote their lives to Jesus. Daily evangelists and prayer groups traversed the community to aid in any way possible.

The mission became a huge success with-in the American group itself when one young woman gave her heart to the Lord during a devotion time back at camp.

On the afternoon of August 4th, an unex-pected event changed the lives of the troop forever when a near-death experience oc-curred at the beach. John Thomas and his wife Terri volunteered to supervise a dozen

people, including kids, at the beach two miles from the camp. He stayed back up on the rocks and watched the kids jumping and playing as the waves broke on them. They were having a blast, until the ocean became fierce.

John says “From his vantage point I could neither hear all the laughing and scream-ing, nor could I see any facial expressions. The following chain of events could only be explained as an act of God. I saw one of our younger kids (Jace) running up to a wounded pelican near the waters edge that drew me down to warn him about getting too close. Then Chris trotted up to me saying ‘John, Logan is being sucked out’. In an instant I looked and saw one of our girls (Miranda) with a horrified expression. Shucking my flip-flops and throwing the van keys behind me, I headed out. It wasn’t long before six-foot waves were crashing over me and I was getting tired. Two girls, Emily and McKenna were behind me and I yelled ‘Get him!’. They sped past me and actually got to him before I did, but his panic was pulling him further down. They handed him off to me and I grabbed him by the throat and tried to

Local Photographer Takes Top Honors...Award Winning Photography & Article by Mike Jensen

Photos left top: “Tulip Sunrise.”Left: Blue ribbon and “Best In Show” – a photograph of the Viet Nam Wall and Washington Monument taken at night. $

Its Here! You may not have felt it, but I do! Senior Photo season. Senior Photos are usually due to the yearbook staff at La Pine High School in about the middle of October. And right now, we are in PERFECT senior photo weather!

So here’s some dos, don’ts and trends for the 2011 Senior Photo season.

Dos:• Try to use a professional photographer, or at least someone who knows their way around a camera (and

it’s not on Auto). I know that sounds like a plug coming from a pro, but you don’t ask your best friend to take out your appendix, or buy insurance from the person who pumps your gas. You use the right profes-sional for the right job! The person who pumps your gas may also know how to fix your car, but probably doesn’t know the intricacies of an appendectomy. So try to use a pro, it’s very affordable, at least in my

world. If you look on my senior photo website (www.lapineseniorphotos.com), you’ll see the photo packages are very affordable, especially if you get together with a few friends. If you look at the photo of Jena you should know that it takes years of photography to get a shot like that. You have to know how to manage the light!• Be flexible and have fun with it. The best time of the day for Senior Photos is

the last hour of sunlight of the day. This is called the Golden Hour, and the light is wonderful for photography.

• Bring several changes of clothes.• Ladies should bring hair clips and different necklaces and earrings. Guys, if

you want to or need to, you can do the same thing!• Take it seriously. I guarantee you, you’ll look at these photos over your life and

think about the experience. If you go in to it without caring, or knowing what you want to come out with, then that’s what you’ll get.

• Sometime before your photoshoot get your teeth cleaned, and have your hair cut or groomed.

Don’ts:• Don’t over schedule. My senior photo shoots usually last at least two hours,

and I take over 200 photos. Usually 300-400, and different locations. So don’t be late, and don’t schedule something right after, you may want to stay longer and do more photos.

• Don’t worry about blemishes or skin problems. Almost every Senior has a couple of them, and the advantage of using a pro is the fact that we usually have software to fix those things.

• Don’t even think of doing Senior Photos with a Point and Shoot camera or a phone. You won’t be happy. You need an adjustable camera (DSLR) and someone who knows how to use it.

• Don’t try something dangerous, just because it might look cool. This goes along the lines of tightrope walking on barbed wire, or anything on a railroad track, you get the idea.• Don’t ignore your parents or guardians wishes. Do them a favor and do a

couple of really nice shots for them!• Don’t procrastinate!

trends: This year the I’m getting the best photos with people who are trusting me to know what I’m doing. That means shooting at the right time of day for the light, and relaxing during your shoot.

Just as with any other year, every senior wants a completely unique photo. That’s a piece of cake! There are so many places to photograph around here, you can’t help but make it unique. Try to follow

PHOTOGRAPHYa theme of portraying what you like to do. Use props if you like. I just finished shooting a senior photo with a young man who loved golf and skiing, so we put him on the golf course with a putter in his hand, and the skis in his golf bag. Turned out great! I also just finished a session with a young lady who loved flowers, so I gave her a single Sunflower to hold. Awesome!COLOR – Bright colors are in! Especially with solids, and in photos taken with harsh sunlight late in the day. SMILES…OR NOT – I always get a great photo with a great smile, but lately I’ve asked my subjects to give me a nice “thoughtful” look, perhaps smiling with their eyes!Duo-Tone – Or mixed color. Sometimes you only need one thing in the photo in color to bring out the beauty, personality or essence of the subject. Again, an advantage of using a pro with the right software.

That’s it! If you have questions, or need some advice, feel free to give me a call at 541-610-8683 or email me at [email protected]. You can get some senior photo ideas at several of my websites at www.lapineseniorphotos.com or www.michaelcjen-senphotography.com. Moms & Dads, don’t let your seniors procrastinate! We are in prime photography season, and you need to “nudge” your senior to get it done. $

NEWSNEWSPark District Celebrates Gift from Sunriver Rotary at Finley

Butte Community Park By T. MyersThe warm summer sun was shining down on the new playground equipment as a

group of Sunriver Rotarians met with the Mayor, Sunriver and La Pine Chamber mem-bers, Park Board officials and community guests to celebrate the latest contribution to La Pine Park and Recreation District (LPRD) from our neighbors to the north! By the time the ribbon was cut to open the new pre-school section, kids were running across the playground, adults were visiting and everyone was enjoying a piece of cake and punch at the August 9th ribbon cutting!

Members of the Sunriver Rotary purchased and assembled the new preschool play-ground equipment (low steps and access to slides and a playhouse) and then they gath-ered to celebrate with a ribbon cutting to inaugurate the new structure. Dennis Smeage

and Arlo Fertig represented the SR Rotary and LPRD Board. Mayor Ken Mule-nex and other LPRD Board members and Rotarians were out in force to join La Pine in celebrating such a great gift. Arlo Fertig ex-plained in conversation to guests that the playground is ADA accessible. Too!

Justin Cutler, LPRD Executive Director, took the microphone and ex-plained that this is the only preschool play equipment in the area. He made the decision to try to get the new equipment after a con-versation he shared during his interview period over eighteen months ago. (A young mom told Justin that

I sent my great grandson, Jaryth, to Park & Rec’s first attempt at summer camp,. They did a fantastic job! Lynn Buck’s great ideas and organizaiton of the activities were well thought out. No matter the time of day, I saw kids involved, having fun and getting along. Besides each week’s special theme, there were hands-on activities, reading and quiet time, and in the heat of the day, good ol’ messy, fun water play. On the last day going home, I said to Jaryth, “the staff was great weren’t they?” He said, “NO! They were awesome!” He’s looking forward to next year.

Thank you to Park & Rec for making this available for the sum-mer. Now that they finally have a foundation to work from, we are seeing remarkable growth and changes for our community. $

A Prescription for Safety: Educating your kids, safeguarding medicine cabinet can help

prevent prescription drug misuse.Reprinted with permission from the Oregon Partnership

When your kids were young, you made sure they understood that medication was not candy – that they knew the difference between, say an over-the-counter cold pill and a Red Hot.

Now that they are a little older, do you and they know the different affects that, for instance, Tylenol and the painkiller Vicodin have on the body? Unlike Tylenol, Vicodin produces a sense of euphoria. Some people even feel and energy boost and are tempted to take more, creating the potential for abuse.

Prescription drug abuse trends are cause for increasing concern. Oregon ranks among the top five states for non-medical use of pain relievers among 12 to 17 year olds, according the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. A state survey found that nearly 8 percent of high school juniors in 2007 said they used prescription drugs (without a doctor’s order) to get high in the past 30 days. That’s more than two young people in a typical high school-size classroom, and up from 5 percent in 2002.

Teens say prescription drugs are widely available from an array of sources, includ-ing their homes, friends and relatives, and online pharmacies. In some cases, young people perceive prescription drugs to be safer than illicit drugs, leading them to casu-ally share these drugs with friends. One high school student, for example, took a pre-scription drug designed for Attention Deficit Disorder not because she had ADD but to get through final exams. She got the drug from a friend.

What You Can Do: Educating ourselves and our kids about the po-tential dangers of prescription as well as over-the-counter drugs- and safeguarding our medicine cabinet- are a big part of helping young people stay safe and healthy. The following are a handful of tips:• Talk with your children about the inappropriate use of prescription drugs and the

dangers that can result- just as you would talk with them about the harms of underage drinking and other drug use. Young people may not always admit it to their mom and dad, but as a parent you’re the biggest influence in their life. The message you send about the harms of misusing prescription drugs is a powerful deterrent.

• Monitor the prescription drugs in your home-from the medicine cabinet and master bedroom to the kitchen-and keep them in a secure place. Keep track of how many pills are in a bottle or packet, and keep tabs on refills. The practice of monitoring prescription drugs and keeping them in a secure place is equally effective when it comes to alcohol in the home.

• If you take prescription drugs such as those for pain or insomnia, the good example you set, including following a doctor’s instructions and dosage recommendations, is invaluable when it comes to helping children stay safe. Explain to your child why you take prescription medication, that you are careful about it, that pills should not be shared and that it’s important to have a doctor’s approval to take them. Also discuss the importance of not mixing medications without a doctor or other medical provider’s OK.

• Information about prescription drugs can be easily found online, and the internet is rife with sites that sell prescription drugs without a prescription. Monitor your child’s online activities and together establish rules about things such as how much time they spend and what they can do online. Post the rules on or near the computer.

Put your family’s computer in the kitch-en or other well-trafficked area. And be up front about the fact that monitor their online activities just as you do their other activities.• Advertisements for prescription drugs

are all around us. Talk with your chil-dren about these ads and help them think critically about the messages they see and hear.

• Throw unneeded and expired medica-tions in the garbage and take care to conceal them first. (You can also take them to your local Law Enforcement to dispose of) Be sure to remove personal information from bottles and packages before discarding them and never put old pills down the toilet or drain unless the directions indicate it is OK to do so.

• Talk with your friends and extended family members about the harms of prescription and over-the-counter drug misuse, especially those whose homes your children visit. Encourage them to monitor their medications and to keep them in a safe place. Get to know the parents of your children’s friends, a great way to find out if other families share your values when it comes to ex-pectations and rules.

Donald “Bill” SeibertJune 18, 1919 – May 27, 2011

ObituaryBill Seibert passed away on

Friday, May 27, 2011 in Paradise, CA at the age of 91. He was born in Reedly, California on June 18, 1919 to William and Minnie Seibert and was the last survivor of 10 children.

Bill served as a single engine fighter pilot in the US Army Air Corp during WWII. Following the war, he worked as a brakeman for the railroad in Portland, OR. He was a Regional Sales and Service Manager for 3 separate manufacturers of lawn, tractor, and garden equipment traveling throughout the Western US and Canada.

He retired in 1981 after 26 years and had homes in La Pine, Oregon and Paradise, CA. He was an avid hunter and fisherman.

He is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Vera Seibert; his son, Dennis Seibert (Kristen); grandson, Greg Seibert (Angie); granddaughter, Stacey Ramos (Andy); 6 great-grandchildren and nephews, Roger and Dean (Lisa) Seibert.

At his request no formal services will be held.Arrangements under the direction of the Neptune Society of Northern CA,

swim. After going down a few times, I came up and yelled ‘No God, please help us.” I was remembering the scripture that we are promised that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Shortly after that I felt sand under one of my feet and knew it was going to be all right.”

More people helped Emily and McKenna to bring little Logan to firm soil where they all collapsed in tears of joy and tired muscles. Logan was safe and in good hands.

The van ride back was filled with quiet discussions about the event. It seemed the group of kids had matured well beyond their age. When they arrived at camp, everyone went to change then to dinner, but John and Logan went to find his parents Todd and Angela, to talk about the powerful forces of the sea.

John is honored by the group’s courage and had this to say about the kids: “We adults were commenting on the way home how very proud we are of the youth in La Pine. These kids around here are the best you’ll find and I’m confident that the future is indeed Bright in La Pine. A huge thanks goes out to all who sponsored, donated, and helped with this positively successful and rewarding mission.” $

Sunriver). Those legislators sought to force a taxing sanitary authority on South De-schutes County without allowing a vote by the electorate, including who could be on the board! This was a blatant attempt to appease environmentalists so mega-corpora-tion Lowe Enterprises could have carte blanche to develop Pine Forest by Sunriver. CAG members said “No!” and won!

CAG forced Deschutes County and the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to listen to the voters about ground water protection (septic systems). CAG continues to advocate for solutions based on need and sound science. CAG points out that Deschutes County and DEQ have failed to properly research what is around the wells that tested elevated for nitrates. Could it be a failed or no septic system, a parking lot on the septic drain field or livestock uphill from the well? CAG believes that we need to use sound science by looking at all explanations instead of rushing to a solution based on improper science. CAG states: Let’s solve current problems, not create new problems with unnecessary and expensive solutions!

CAG campaigned for veterans, including supporting a bill to honor Phil Belle-feuille, an Iwo Jima survivor, and a bill to create an award to honor the fallen from Af-ghanistan and Iraq. CAG also supports the Oregon Secretary of State’s Flag fund that sends a state flag to overseas service members who request one. CAG states: “They served, bled and died for us. We must always support, honor and remember!”

La Pine no longer has local COCC courses. South Deschutes and North Klamath Counties is about the same size as Redmond, or Crook or Jefferson Counties. Those three areas all have a COCC education center with on-site courses. We pay taxes, but students must drive to Bend. CAG asks, “Why?”

CAG is a nonpartisan nonprofit corporation, started in 2007 by three angry home-makers over unresponsive local government. CAG meets Friday, August 19 at 9:30am at the La Pine American Legion Hall (side door).

“…the who, what, why, and when…with the how provided by the host!”

Oh, my goodness! There has been so much going on during the last month! Officer Pete held a garage sale for the Christmas Basket Association on Saturday the 16th. Nakima Geimausaddle and the Crossbow Society of Native Americans held an Indian camp at Pringle Falls campground the same weekend.

On July 17th the Black Tie Ford Foundation Dinner raised funds for the remodel project at the Heritage Park. Thursday night, July 21st, the local Chamber Toastmas-ter’s Club was vetted and they held a sample meeting and it was followed by a lovely

potluck and Bar-b-que at L&S Gardens. At the end of the week the First Annual Chicken Coop Tour went off without a hitch. People all over the area opened their gardens, coops and greenhouses for public display and we tramped from one spot to the next looking at the wonders of growing local produce in our extreme climate. La Pine Rocks! Walk, Run and Bike event took place on the 23rd, too.

Local writers started a local Critique group at their first organizational meeting on the 27th and on Saturday the 30th, a great Bend band, Ruckus, performed at the Village at Sunriver for one of their South County Free Concerts and every-one turned up!

The local Chamber planning commit-tee is putting together plans for an awe-

some Heritage Celebration on September 9-11 with special events that include won-derful music, gospel choirs and a lovely memorial tribute to 9-11, ten years later. This will be a community wide event that lasts from Friday afternoon through Sun-day in the LPEC Park

The Cascade Lakes Relay went through La Pine on August 5th and 6th. Bicyclists from all over stopped at LPHS for a little rest and recuperation. Local Non-profits hosted the visitors with ev-erything from sleeping cots, showers and meals before they went on their way! On Sunday, local maven, our own Marilyn Russell celebrated her 80th Birthday in the company of family and friends at Stan and Rene Russell’s home. Her sons (who recently completed the Pioneer Brothers Photo Shoot for the upcoming

Cowboys of La Pine project), Vic and Vicki Russell, Stan and Rene Russell, Neal and Peggy Russell, Kim and Kathy Russell and daughter Sharon and husband Rick Riffle hosted the party. Peridot was the theme of Mari-lyn’s Birthday day and she was lovely surrounded by so many people who love her!

LPRD held their after hours and ribbon cutting for the Finley Butte

Community Park from 4-6 on Tuesday the 9th and viewers saw the wonderful playground equipment and new ball field and changes to the community building. Punch and cake was served to all! (See page 6 for full report on Finley Butte Park)

Local activists, Robin and Marc Mirrasoul, held their annual River Float and Pot-luck Saturday the 13th for one and all. Good food, great water fun and a wild time was at the guest’s fingertips on the Little Deschutes.

After eight or nine years of tent camping and aching backs, travel enthusiasts, teacher Linda Bethane and High School nurse, Barb Tanner, decided they would get off the ground and upgrade to a pop-up trailer. That led them to a travel trailer pulled by a truck and then to a c-class motor home. It was the idea of going to new places and seeing the country that intrigued the two at first, and then it was meeting new people from all over the USA who shared their interests. They were in Custer South Dakota, (right by the Mt. Rushmore monument); visiting with new friends around the fire, when they decided that they would retire and buy a big motor home they could live in and take to the road full time!

“We did not “plan” our retirement adventures; we were actually already retired when we were in Custer and decided to RV full time. Once that decision was made, we just started traveling and in fact traveled for a couple of years before we joined any membership programs. As we traveled around the country we found membership programs that had camping facilities where we wanted to be,” Linda explained in her email to me.

After they decided to make the leap, they sold their St. Louis area condo in 2004 and hit the road. Now their home is a 40 foot Fleetwood Discovery with bedroom and living room pop-outs that let them live simply, but luxuriously, in plush accommodations that reminded this reporter of a great spa setting!

Linda declared, “I just love this country. Every area is wonderful and beautiful!” And they have been everywhere from Michigan to Maine, Arizona and New Mexico to the Oregon Coast!

Barb added, “I love seeing the national parks!” The two maintain a website about their travels- complete with pictures and notes about their journey that they can share with their families and friends! I saw two hardcover books complete with pictures and notes that Linda and Barb have put together about their full time travels across the country and it is amazing what they have seen and done.

And it isn’t just America, either! Both of them excitedly told me about their trip to Canada’s Vancouver Island last year. “It was a real challenge taking the motor home (pulling a Honda behind) onto the Ferry,” explained Linda. “Once we were on the is-land, our plans to go to the mainland were way laid. We really loved travelling around the beautiful British Columbia spots like Victoria, Nanaimo and Deep Bay and others! We just stayed and stayed!”

How did they get to La Pine? I was talking to the managers at Cascade Meadows Resort and a lady, (Linda Bethane), standing in the line for check-in at the counter asked if I was a local and would I please tell the Chamber about the great local vet, Gor-don Pickering helping them with a pet emergency last year when they came through. This led to a conversation with Linda and an invite to see the big motorhome and meet the little Havanese dog that was the object of the compliment! It turns out that last year, they came through here and spent some time having repairs made by locals John

Davis and Dave Root (RV specialists). While they were here, something happened to their cute little dog, Bailey, and they needed a vet. When they called La Pine Animal Hospital, Gordon Pickering waited for them to come over at the end of the day and was able to see their special doggie! After that, they visited for a while before travelling on to a different area.

The full-time RV-ers travel to Arizona to spend their winters in Apache Junction, but now, since they discovered the Oregon Coast, they have purchased a lot in New-port and will spend time in La Pine when they come up to Oregon every year.

Linda and Barb are terrific ladies with an ability to put new friends at ease immedi-ately. We will be lucky to have them visit us again in the future and share their stories about people and places all over America with those of us who happen to be in the same RV Resort. See you next year! $

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife took to the air to release 345,000 trout in approximately 500 lakes throughout the Cascade mountain range in late July.

Rainbow, brook and cutthroat trout ranging from 1 to 2 inches in length were trucked from five ODFW hatcheries to heliports at Mt. Hood, Hoodoo Ski Area, Fall River Hatchery, and Klamath Falls so they could be airlifted to some of the state’s most spectacular fishing destinations.

“There is a lot of interesting in fishing Oregon’s high mountain lakes, especially this time of year,” said Rhine Mess-mer, ODFW Recreational Fisheries Program Manager for Inland Fish-eries. “It can be really good fishing. The thing about Oregon’s high lakes is there are not a lot of places in the lower 48 United States where you can have this kind of wilderness fishing experience.”

The trout are transported by heli-copter in a custom made shuttle car-rying 30 individual canisters that hold a couple gallons of water and up to 1,000 fingerlings apiece. The canisters can be opened individually by remote control while the chopper is hovering over a lake. Biologists like to use the smaller, juvenile fish because they can make the 50-100 ft. fall to the lake with less trauma than larger fish, which improves survival rates.

Data collected afterwards in ODFW sampling surveys have shown that once in their new environs the trout are able to establish themselves and grow to harvestable sizes, mostly in the 8- to 12-inch range, but some lakes do produce trout up to or larger than 15 inches.

“It can be very rewarding after a long hike to catch some nice trout and be able to cook them up for dinner or breakfast right out of the lake,” Mess-mer said.

High lakes fish stocking is noth-ing new in Oregon. ODFW has been releasing trout in the high lakes for decades. What is new is technology that is making aerial stocking more ef-ficient. Biologists for each participat-ing watershed district plot the flight paths and release sites on handheld GPS units, which they then use to

help the helicopter pilot navi-gate directly to each lake with pinpoint accuracy.

High lakes fishing is very popular according to a sur-vey of anglers conducted by ODFW in 2006. Of those anglers surveyed, 25 per-cent identified Oregon’s high lakes as their preferred place to fish for trout. That equates to roughly 52,000 anglers per year, according to Messmer.

“It can be a really good fishing experience,” he said. “The crowds are usually smaller, you don’t have com-peting activities like boats and jet skis, and it’s generally more relaxing, not to mention some exceptional scenery.”

ODFW is currently devel-oping a database of high lakes fisheries, which the department plans to post on its website. In the meantime, anglers are en-couraged to consult with local district fish biologists for in-formation about specific lakes.

Just when you thought you could take a break from financial drama, following the resolution of the debt ceiling issue, here comes Act 2: the downgrade of the U.S. long-term credit rating. As a citizen, you may be feeling frustrated. And as an

investor, you might be getting worried. But is this concern really justified?Certainly, it was news when Standard and Poors (S&P) lowered the U.S. long-term credit rating from AAA to AA+. This was, after all, the first time that the U.S. has lost its AAA status since its initial publication 70 years ago. Furthermore, S&P put a negative outlook on the rating, which means that further downgrades are possible. But despite these developments, there’s no reason to think that the sky is falling in on the investment world. Consider the following:“Downgrade” doesn’t mean default. Rating agencies such as S&P assign ratings to bonds to help investors measure credit risk — the chance that they won’t receive time-ly payments. The downgrade to AA+ just means that investors would be slightly less likely to receive future payments than if the bond had an AAA rating. This is far dif-ferent from a default, which would result in investors not receiving current payments.U.S. credit rating is still high quality. S&P didn’t change the U.S. government’s short-

term credit rating, which applies to debt maturing in less than one year. Further-more, even the long-term rating of AA+ is still considered high quality. Also, keep in mind that two other major rating agencies, Moody’s and Fitch, both affirmed their AAA rating on the U.S., although Moody’s has a negative outlook on its rating.Downgrade was not a surprise. Because

the downgrade had been rumored for weeks, the financial markets may have already “priced in” some of the impact. While it’s possible that interest rates may rise, it’s also important to note that similar downgrades of other countries’ debt in the past have not

Grandparents May Need to Balance Gifts and Goals

Grandparents Day falls on Sept. 11 this year. While not as widely observed

as Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, Grandparents Day nonetheless serves a valuable purpose in re-minding us of the importance of grandparents in the lives of their grandchildren. If you’re a grand-parent yourself, you already know the joy your grandchildren bring you, and through the years, you have probably been generous with them in many ways. At the same time, though, you probably need to strike a balance between your heartfelt gifts and your financial goals.It can be challenging to achieve that balance. For one thing, you and your fellow grand-parents have not been stingy in your giving over the past several years. America’s grandparents provided an estimated $370 billion in financial support to their grand-children between 2004 and 2009, according to a survey by the MetLife Mature Market Institute. This averages out to $8,661 per grandparent household over that same period. However, many of these same grandparents may not be accumulating sufficient finan-cial resources to enjoy the retirement lifestyle they’ve envisioned. In fact, the median balance of retirement accounts for 55- to 64-year-olds is only about $100,000, accord-ing to the Center for Retirement Research. That’s not a lot of money for an age group that could spend two or even three decades in retirement.So, as a grandparent, what steps might you take to bolster your retirement savings while simultaneously helping your grandchildren? Here are a few ideas: Maintain permanent life insurance. Once your children are grown, you may feel less compelled to carry life insurance. But the right type of life insurance can benefit you throughout your life. Permanent life insurance offers you the chance to build cash val-ue, which you may be able to access, depending upon the specifics of your policy. And you can name your grandchildren as beneficiaries of your policy.Open a 529 plan. Use the money you’re already gifting to fund a 529 plan to help your grandchildren pay for college. These plans have generous contribution guidelines, and withdrawals are tax-free, provided the money is used for qualified expenses. There may be state tax incentives available to in-state residents who invest in their home state’s 529 plan. And a 529 plan offers you a degree of flexibility; if the beneficiary grandchild decides to forgo college, you can transfer the unused funds to another grandchild, tax and penalty free. However, withdrawals used for expenses

resulted in significant rate jumps. As for the stock market — which was already vola-tile, partially due to the debt ceiling issue — the negative reaction we’ve seen to the downgrade will likely be short-term. This downgrade should not be as calamitous as we’ve been led to believe. Corporate profits, always a key driver of stock prices, are still strong, and with the market cor-rection we’ve seen in the past couple of weeks, many quality stocks now appear to be more attractively priced — which means it may actually be a good time to look for investment op-portunities that make sense for you, rather than head to the “side-lines.”In any case, you never want to overreact to any one piece of news. If you were to make big changes to your investment strat-egy, you’d likely incur fees and expenses — and, even more im-portantly, your portfolio might no longer be positioned to meet your long-term goals. You’re much better off by sticking with a strategy that’s based on your individual needs, risk tolerance and time horizon. This can be challenging, especially in light of the screaming headlines. But remember, although past performance isn’t indica-tive of future results, the U.S. financial markets have seen plenty of traumas in the past, and have always survived — and, usually, eventually prospered. As a smart, disciplined investor, you can do the same. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. See Bob Cox’s ad below left. $

1938, when the camps moved to Gilchrist, many woodcutters moved to Bend to work in the mill. Families needed to stay close to schools to make sure the kids received a good education.

Grace’s first two years of education started on the ranch at the schoolhouse, which is still standing today as a historical building in Vandevert. Starting around 1937, Grace’s dad drove her to and from school at the Old White School Building (now the La Pine Event Center). Once her older brother Claude got his driver’s license, he took over the driving duties.

Grace’s driving career started prematurely at age 15. To receive a high school educa-tion, she had to attend school in Bend, where there were no buses for transporting kids. The Bend school district gave her a 1940 Chevy with explicit instructions on paper for where she was allowed to drive the car (to and from school only). She was the envy of all her friends because they also gave her a class C gasoline rationing stamp, which was usually given to school buses and doctors.

When the war started, everything changed. During 1943, 10,000 soldiers arrived into the army engineering Camp Abbot. The Vandeverts were forced to sell their cattle because they ran out of range on their leased forest service range land west of Sunriver.

From her book, Vandevert, The Hundred-Year History of a Central Oregon Ranch, Grace describes the changes in detail:

“When the Army maneuvers were in the ranch area, they were all over the place from our property line east to Highway 97...One camp was just to the north of what is now Vandevert Road - about half way out to Highway 97. Dad pulled in there on day and saw soldiers burying food of all kinds. There was bread, cheese, and other things. He asked them why they were doing that. One of the soldiers said they did that each time a new batch of soldiers came to the area for a three or four week stay. He said that if they didn’t bury what was left from the previous group, they couldn’t get enough supplies to last through the next bunch! Dad had a fit. He said ‘If you will let me come and pick it up, I’ll see that it gets used.’ There was so much rationing going on then.”

The ranch has a long history that is best described in Grace’s book, which is co-authored by Ted Haynes. To read more about the fascinating history of Grace and the ranch, visit http://robledabooks.com and purchase the book. $

Your grandchildren may appreciate your generosity, but they’ll also no doubt want you to enjoy a comfortable retirement. As always, you need to do what makes sense for your situation. You may find there are ways to help both your grandchildren and yourself.

BEND, OR – June 18, 2011 – Soon, hindsight won’t be the only thing that’s 20/20. Central Oregon law firm Karnopp Petersen is proud to announce its new Business 20/20 Executive Breakfast Series, sponsored by Oregon Business Magazine. The first execu-tive breakfast will be held Friday, September 9 at the Tower Theater in Bend from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m.Modeled after the highly successful Portland Power Breakfast, Business 20/20 will bring high caliber business experts to Central Oregon to encourage new ideas, pro-mote professional growth and provide sophisticated educational opportunities to Cen-tral Oregon’s business community.

Access to capital is vital to Central Oregon companies whether they are aspiring to grow or simply working to sustain business. Despite difficult economic times, financial experts claim money is all too often left on the table in the financing process. Business owners may not fully understand their financing options at each stage of a business’ life cycle. The first Busi-ness 20/20 Breakfast will inform business leaders about opportunities for financing and provide insight into what investors are looking for.

A nationally-renowned business speaker, Gopalpur is president and founder of Monsoon Inc., a Portland-based online selling solutions company and winner of the

“I know how to save a dollar”, said Grace McNellis-Vandevert. Dur-ing the early years of World War II, Grace said that people had to manage their money or else living became problematic. When her dad gave her a dollar bill, it was a big deal. “I knew that a dime meant something”, she ex-plained.

Grace was very young during the Great Depression, so she doesn’t re-call much of the bad times. “Some-how we made some money”, she said in an interview. When money was

tight, her dad worked on the highway, and hunted deer near Big River. They sold cream to the dairy company for a few extra dollars, and picked fruit for canning. The family lived at Vandevert - a well known cattle ranch between La Pine and Sunriver.

The Vandevert Ranch housed a fairly large family, including eight grandchildren. The extended family included Grace’s school friends, like Vivian Cooper from La Pine, who would stay for sleepovers on the ranch. Grace is a middle child between two broth-ers. Fortunately through hard times they always had food on the table and handmade clothes on their backs.

The ranch was the hub for Shevlin logging camps. The Vandevert parents would throw picnics and invite campers to swim on the ranch. Grace’s dad donated about four acres (now across from Crosswater) so they would have a public place to swim. Around

The Chiloquilters recreated a photograph taken by Chiloquin’s own Joan Rowe into this beautiful art quilt depicting a view of Mt. Scott from the Wood River Wetlands in Chiloquin. The photo was taken in March, so is this Spring or our typical continuous Winter?

Under the guidance of Kathy Adams, the quilt was made using a variety of tech-niques, all new to most of us, and using things not found in your typical quilt. Yarns, roving, raffia, and things from just outside our doors were all fair game. There was even a package delivered to one of our quilter’s husbands with mysterious contents that made us start wondering if whatever was inside would work in our quilt! The process took about 8 months and we had our “moments” but we are thrilled with the results.

The Chiloquilters had often discussed making a quilt for the Chiloquin Community Center to hang in its lobby. We hang our raffle quilt there, but when that quilt is gone the wall is so bare. We felt the need to make a permanent quilt for this location, and accordingly, this quilt will be donated to Chiloquin Visions In Progress for just this purpose.

The photograph was divided into 14 sections as there were 14 of us who wanted to participate. The finished quilt is only 7 sections, so each of the 7 sections were divided into top and bottom parts. After the tops and bottoms were completed by each indi-vidual, they were joined.

The 14 people who created this quilt are listed below in the order of their section, starting from left top to bottom right:

August Klamath County Events

Artist Cathleen Casey and Poet M.E. Hope team up for display at LibraryThroughout the month of August, during all library open hoursSubmitted by Klamath County Library

The Main branch of Klamath County Library is currently displaying the artwork and art books of Bonanza artist Cathleen Casey, along with selected poetry from local published poet, M. E. Hope.

Artist books are irresistible because they take you in right away with their pre-ciousness and their invitation to touch, explore and experience. And the best part, the part which engages me most, is the ability of artist books to produce a unique experi-ence for the viewer. The viewer becomes part of the art. Because it is the viewer’s ex-perience in the “reading” or the process of interpreting the artist book which becomes the art.

Cathleen Casey has this to say about her process and her products: I discovered artist books when I took a letterpress class at the University of Ore-

gon and was immediately smitten. The combination of graphics, words, images, crafts and concepts is perfect for me. I’m a graphic designer and had already worked for several publishers.

Two recent artist books, Blue Between and Dovecote, were done in collaboration with local poet M.E.Hope and were featured last April at a show in the Illahe Gallery in Ashland, OR. I have also collaborated with Mary on Yonna Valley and Stranded Sunlight.

The two artist books, Florilegia and Whitebark Pine “Ghost” Trees, from my 2-week Crater Lake artist-in-residency consist of 35 drawings of wildflowers and Whitebark pines. Whitebarks are dying from a fungus, blister rust, so it was important to document them. Flora Delanica, my “china plate” series from my artist-in-residency at The Cabin at Shotpouch Creek, refers to china painting, the only occupation and art venue open to women for many years. The plates are made from discarded wheat straw and are botanicals from the site. The plate backs contain botanical journaling and backstamps as well as gold, silver and copper leaf. Flora Delanica refers to Mrs. Delaney, a British aristocrat from the 1700s, who started making “mosaics,” stunning botanicals made from cut paper and watercolors. She created over a thousand of them, and they were so accurate that they were highly regarded by scientists. She began her art career at age 71.

A Girl, a Table and an Inkpot, selected for the Eugene Mayor’s Art Show, is a complicated artist book which celebrates women artists and writers such as Gertrude Stein and Georgia O’Keefe. As you open each page you get a little glimpse of art through different kinds of operable windows which prompts you to open it. The art ex-pands into its own room, following Virginia Woolf’s treatise of A Room of One’s Own.

Passim, honorable mention winner in the Lewis and Clark Journey’s End National Art Competition [National Park Service and the City of Astoria, OR], focuses on the minority members of the expedition such as Sacagawea and her baby son Jean Baptiste Charbonneau who were critical to the success of the expedition. The book unfolds much like the expedition and the back of the pages consist of a woodcut of the night sky during the first summer of the trip.

Klamath Falls poet M. E. Hope’s first book of poetry, The Past is Clean was re-leased in 2010 by Uttered Chaos Press. $

Berk is a wonderful Hound mix looking for a home that will last a lifetime. He was brought to HSCO as a stray but like many dogs, he was sadly never re-claimed. He loves to play with other dogs and doesn’t mind the company of kitties. Hounds are scent driven and Berk is no exception!
