THE NEWBERRY MAY 2010

If you are a veteran then you are are welcome here. Every Wednesday at 9:00am a group of Vets meet for breakfast at Gordy’s Restaurant on Hwy 97 in La Pine. Their intention is to grow as a support group, inviting all area Vets to join them. A typi-cal meeting starts with an opening prayer by a chaplain, followed by some announce-ments, breakfast, friendly greetings, conversation and lots of positive energy.

The main purpose is to help Veterans by providing support, friendship and fellow-ship. The members want to reach out and let people know the group is available.

According to Robert Waters, La Pine Vet, “Being here is like being back in the ser-vice and in your own company. It makes you feel good knowing you can come here and feel relief. You can get answers about assistance here also.”

The group started 7 years ago with only 6 people. Presently around 50 Veterans from various areas such as La Pine, Bend, Crescent, Redmond, Sisters and Prineville meet regularly for the morning session. There are Vets from WWII,

After all of the “should haves”, the Farley household learned the hard way how to fix their septic failure. Zetta Farley and her husband recently replaced an old, failed system with a DEQ approved nitrate-reducing system that cost over $10,000 – an ex-pense for which they were unprepared.

Farley waited 30 days for a rebate from DEQ that paid for $3,750 of the costs, and received it on April 16th. She had given the septic company nearly all of her savings in order to get a working system.

“I just want to let La Pine know this is what’s going to happen to them if they don’t do a simple thing as having your septic pumped.”

Raised a city girl, Zetta Farley said she had no idea how to maintain a septic system. She was under the impression that it would cost $1,000 to pump their septic tank. This discouraged her from performing this routine maintenance.

“If I had known it was only $200, I’d have had that thing pumped every 4-5 years, like they recommend. But, I did not know that.”

The Farleys realized there was a big problem when drains in the house starting backing up. After failed attempts to plunge, the Farleys decided to call La Pine Septic for help.

Stan and Jake Russell from La Pine Septic Service pumped the

Biogreen Sustainable Energy has announced the location of its Biomass power plant

in La Pine; the Finley Butte property close to the Water and Sewer Districts. The deci-sion comes after researching other possible locations for Biogreen’s biomass plant. The company had considered the Interfor Mill Site in Gilchrist because of its potential to interface with the mill’s fuel and steam.

Rob Broberg, owner of Biogreen and Manager for H&H Wood Recyclers, said they chose the La Pine Finley Butte area because of “the ability to use the recycled effluent from the sewer district.” To create the plant’s expected output of 25 megawatts (MW) of power, (enough to power an average of 25,000 homes,) the plant will use 250 gallons per minute of recycled water and 50 gallons per minute of potable water.

The plant will create clean, carbon-neutral, steam power by using water and recycled wood, or “hog-fuel”. Hog-fuel comes from wood recycling companies, mainly H&H

1,000 gallon tank, which normally would keep a system up to par. This appeased the Farley’s anxiety for a couple more days until the drains began backing up again. But the Russells began to suspect a more serious problem because the tank and the drain fields were completely full.

“We pumped her tank- a ton of water came back in from her drain field into her tank- that’s how we knew her system was backed up”, said Jake.

After a second attempt to pump, the final decision by La Pine Septic was to replaced the failed system as soon as possible. They completed the project on March 16.

To avoid reliving the Farley’s experience, there are some basic guidelines for home owners to follow, such as pump the system every 3-5 years, only flush biodegradable products, and do not use powdered detergents.

Besides pumping the system, Jake Russell recommends upgrading old steel tanks. “One of the main things people can do to preserve life for their system is to do a tank

replacement if they have a steel tank, and put in a concrete [tank].”If a septic system fails in Deschutes County, it is required by law to replace it with a

nitrate reducing septic system. This law was passed in an ordinance in June 2008. The county will help foot the owner’s bill by rebating $3,750.

There are also agencies that can help with this cost. Usually, they assist low-income households or seniors in home repairs, so be sure to find out if you qualify in advance.

Barrie Lasure, the Area Director of USDA’s Rural Development, says that money is available to seniors that need to make changes to their property for it to be “decent, safe, and sanitary”. This includes upgrading a septic system. For a household of four to qualify, they must make a combined total of less than $32,000 (gross income) per year. The family will be eligible for a 20 year loan, up to $20,000 at a 1% finance rate. For more information on other Rural Development programs, contact Barrie at (541) 923-4358 ext 130.

Neighbor Impact is another possible avenue for receiving money for this type of repair. They assist low income people in rural areas by offering loans and grants to qualifying residents. For information on Neighbor Impact’s programs, call 541-316-2307 or email [email protected] or visit

In previous years, Deschutes County Veterans Services have been available to Sis-ters Veterans and their dependents through the Bend office. Now for the first time, services are available at a “satellite” Veterans Services office located in Sisters.

In the past, if Sisters Veterans needed help completing and processing VA claims paperwork, they would drive to Bend to receive assistance. The Sisters office was cre-ated because the Veterans Office has seen a significant increase in claim filings from Veterans living in Sisters.

Deschutes County Veterans Services Sisters location: Malda Bailey Building

151 N. Spruce, Sisters, OR 97759(Original library located behind the Sister’s Chamber).

Hours: first and third Monday of the month from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. by appointment only. Please call the Bend office to schedule appointments (541) 385-3214. The Veterans Services Office helps Veterans and their dependents file claims with

the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Office can help fill out applications for the VA Medical Health Care, Service Connected Disability, Non-Service Connected Pensions, Widow and Widower Pensions, Vocational Rehabilitation, and many other benefits that are available. No benefit is automatic and must be processed through an application.

Veterans can also receive assistance completing forms necessary to receive military records from St. Louis, MO (Discharge application, Discharge Upgrades and Correc-tions of Military Records).

The Veterans Outreach Program is also available to Veterans who are not able to drive, or obtain transportation to a Veterans Outreach Office.

For more information about Deschutes County Veterans services, please call the Bend office at (541) 385-3214. u

City Kicks Dust, Considers Zapping MosquitosThe city council is squeezing Mosquito Abatement into its budget, and creating a

Terminex contract to get rid of the bugs in the 8 miles of city limits. Not only would it help the Rosland Campground and the Rodeo grounds, it shows tourists that we are serious about being able to go outside once in a while. The council will do its best to provide the public with days and times of the fogging so we know when to close our windows. This decision comes after La Pine residents took a survey in 2009 and responded in favor.

As for Dust Abatement, even though Mayor Shields said “we live in a dust bowl”, the council as a whole decided not to dish out the $60,000 to magically get rid of dust. The work around? Drive slow on those gravelly roads.

The director of Parks and Recreation, Justin Cutler, is knee-deep in creating activities and making improvements to the District. Here is the latest news from the District.

Can I Kick It? Yes You Can!Kids Soccer teams formed until the end of April. Cutler expects that a total of 10

teams will be coached by parent volunteers. He expressed his gratitude toward the community volunteers that helped make this league sport happen for La Pine kids. Let’s support these teams all the way through the end of the season (June 7th) by watching their games! Game dates will be listed on the Park and Recreation website soon. If you would like to sign up or volunteer to be a Youth Soccer Coach, call (541) 536-2223.

Festival In The Snow According to Cutler, a lot of parents in the town stepped up to make this year’s

Spring Festival happen. This included hiding and stuffing 5,000 plastic eggs in vari-ous places for both the Youth Egg Hunt and the Teen Egg Hunt. Young children spent about two hours in the chilly weather plucking eggs from the thick snow on the ground, whereas the teenagers found all of theirs at night, in the dark, in only 10 minutes. Be-sides the usual amount of Easter candy, children were able to enjoy inflatable bounce houses and get their trash taken care of, courtesy of sponsors McDonald’s, Wilderness Garbage, and the La Pine Chamber of Commerce.

Rosland Campground: LNT ZoneThere are no trash receptacles in the day use area of Rosland Campground. For

now, it is a “Leave No Trace” zone. Cutler says he wants to have a public meeting to hear from citizens about what they would like at the park. Currently, there are horse-shoe pits, a fire pit, and picnic tables. If you have any new ideas, please express them to Justin at (541) 536-2223, or keep a lookout for an upcoming date for the discussion forum on the website (www.lapineparks.org) . As always, everyone is encouraged to provide input at the regular Board of Director’s Meetings every first and third Monday at 6:30pm at the John C. Johnson Building at 16405 1st Street in La Pine. u

CItY MANAgER RECRUItMENtCity of La Pine Staff

After receiving comments from citizens and community leaders and after careful consideration, the La Pine City Council has unanimously decided to begin the process of hiring a city manager.

The City Council has contracted with the League of Oregon Cities to assist in the selection process. The League’s representatives are Roger Jordan and Bob Wells, re-cently retired city managers with extensive experience in city government. They spent two days this week interviewing the Mayor, City Council, city staff and business and community leaders. On April 14, they reported to the City Council that a clear consen-sus had emerged.

Selection of a permanent city manager can take 6 to 9 months and it was determined that a more timely course of action is needed. As a first step, the City will proceed to hire an interim city manager. This interim manager will be a seasoned professional with a strong background in city management who can work approximately half-time for six to nine months, or until a permanent city manager is hired.

The League of Oregon Cities’ representatives recommended that the interim city manager focus on four areas: 1. City Hall Administration 2. Assist Mayor/City Council 3. Community Relations 4. Recruit Permanent City Manager

The representatives from the League of Oregon Cities are now preparing a job de-scription for the interim city manager position. Once the City Council approves the job announcement, they will begin the recruitment process. The League maintains a list of experienced city managers who are interested in interim assignments. Each of these managers will be contacted to determine whether they are interested in this opportunity. It is anticipated that the City will be conducting interviews in May or early June and that the interim city manager will begin working prior to July 1. u

Interim City Manager - La Pine, Oregon. Population 1,625. Salary compensation is $5,000 per month.

Childcare Worldwide since 2006 has assembled choirs to travel in the United States sharing the culture of Africa through song and dance. These small ambassadors also share the message of need in poverty stricken countries across the world and the hope that comes through child sponsorship.

Ugandan children are known for their musical talents and outstanding ability to per-form. The children in The Ugandan Orphans Choir dance in their national costumes accompanied by authentic African instruments, sing songs in Luganda, and songs they have learned in English. These children are orphans and some live in one of the Child-care Worldwide villages on the Ssese Islands in Lake Victoria. You will not only enjoy this musical treat, but also be truly blessed by these talented children.

Childcare Worldwide has worked in East Africa for many years and has already made a difference in the lives of thousands of children. Especially dear to their hearts are the AIDS orphans. The children do not have AIDS themselves but their parents were victims of AIDS or malaria.

Orphans in Africa are by tradition absorbed into the extended families, but now, with so many people dying, this “safety net” no longer works. Consequently, children are often left on their own. They live off of handouts, or try to find edible things in the garbage, fields or jungle.

To support children, Childcare Worldwide has constructed children’s villages where the children receive full care including an education, in accordance with their motto, to “help children survive and succeed.”

The Uganda Orphans Choir is coming to La Pine. Bring your family and friends to this FREE concert. You will not forget this experience! Refreshments will follow the concert.

Party: DemocratLocation: Email and in person Q: How you plan to work with the 180,000 people of Deschutes County?A: If I’m elected, I will try to work with most of the people of the county and listen to their issues, but there are some people I can’t, either because of my views as a conservative democrat, or because they are not open to opposing views. Q: What sources would you as a Commissioner seek out for help when you are faced with a situation like destination resorts in South County? A: I would vote on no more destination resorts in the south county until at least half the roads the county owns in the get paved . For the 22 years that I’ve lived here not one has been paved that wasn’t paved when I got here.

Q: How do you plan to regain South County’s trust in commissioners after a failed plan, known as the much debated Local Rule?A: To tell the truth I don’t think the south county (mainly La Pine) has a clue that I was the one that found out about the” forced home rule”. The commissioners were going to push in fall of 2006 and I released that information in La Pine in the spring at the senior center, as well as to 3 local men and two local ladies, so word would get out and off it went. No one wants a $30,000 bill or lien on their house [for a new septic system] (and I had just got done putting a brand new 6 thousand dollar pressurized system [in my house] in spring 2006). I should have earned their trust on that issue and they seemed to follow whatever the Bulletin says. I believe the Bulletin always comes out for who’s for the bonds and levees. I believe the truth about the septic system came out after I released the information to the public. Q: Anything else you would like to say to the public?A: I’m running for County Commissioner and I want the people to know that I’m interested in making sure that politics are out of the justice system, because if you can do that, then justice is blind and equal - everybody will be treated fairly. You wouldn’t have to have cameras on cop cars and on their helmets. u

The existing La Pine Parks and Recreation facility located at the White School site is housed in a metal building that is not adequate for the needs of the commu-nity. The renovation of the facility will enable these needs to be addressed as well as expand upon the services being offered by the Parks and Recreation Department and Community Groups.

The renovation of this building is broken into two parts, Phase 1 and Phase 2. The phases are based on the best use of funds available. More phases could be possible if funding is not adequate enough to include all the items the Community would like to see. Listed below are options to be considered for phase one. PHASE 1 EXTERIOR

Filled with laughter and song! It was a fun experience for kids and adults!We heard Old MacDonald Had a Farm, She’ll Be Comin’ Around the Mountain, and Momma’s

Little Baby Loves Shorten Bread, and more. Children danced, played, sang, and ate desserts. Parents and Grandparents enjoyed the party, too. There were all kinds of desserts, made by the FACT board members.

The event was MC’d by Dee Ann Lewis as she recognized and gave appreciation to the con-tributors. Heather McNeal (photo below, left) sang and told stories while playing the autoharp. She explained that the autoharp is among the very few musical instruments invented in the United States. It was a happy event for the children, featuring many smiling faces. Fairy wings, feather boas, jewelry, flowered hats and high heels adorned the little ladies. After the storytelling, door

prizes were given, followed by chil-dren’s craft activities.

FACT would like to give a BIG THANK YOU TO their Tea & Dessert sponsors: Bi Mart, Ray’s, Shop Smart, McDonald’s, Central Perk, The Candy Jar, Patrick’s Woodwork, Jeff Wingate, Marlene Gaidosh, and Leann Runge.

The event was a success. Over 100 people attended. The entrance fee was a cash donation to FACT. Adults re-ceived a free book titled “How to Raise an Emotionally Healthy Child.”

FACT provides parenting classes, family activity, a monthly newsletter, and more! It’s mission is to help families with young chil-dren in Southern Deschutes and Northern Klamath Counties be successful. Contact Dee Ann Lewis, FACT Project Coordinator for more information. See their ad on page 23 for May FACT EVENTS. u

This Won’t Hurt a BitIs this easier on the eyes to read? I hope that

reading this on paper is more pleasant than the com-puter screen. After about nine hours of staring at the screen, I just want to go home and read a good book. Holding a book is so much more tactile than typing on my greasy plastic keyboard.

I once learned that we read 25 percent slower on the computer screen than we do on paper. I had to look that up again to verify that – part of my job – and found that number has been lowered to 20 per-cent, due to improvements with fonts and screens. Font types are getting more clear, and screens are higher definition.

Another study showed that 79 percent of Web users scan rather than read, mainly because of this slow reading problem I mentioned above. But also

because people like to feel “active” while on the web and click lots of things, keep mov-ing, etc. People are spending large amounts of time foraging for information online, trying to get the most important tidbits from websites.

So when you sit down and take this newspaper into your hands, relish it, read it, and relax. u

Huh? Skookum!!? This is another word for excel-lent. Can you believe it?

Awesome was also included in my thesaurus as an informal synonym for excellence. Awesome has been used to describe being filled with awe, since the late 16th century. Other words that the thesaurus includes for excellent are: supreme, ace, great, terrific, tremen-dous, fantastic, fabulous, splendiferous, wicked, cool, A-OK, brilliant, and marvelous. I never get tired of saying awesome, but sometimes I like to expand my vocabulary. So when I found skookum with the same meaning as awesome, I began using it. How language develops is an interesting process.

Language and the meaning of words are originated by agreement. This agreement occurs within societies and tribes. The first words were developed by early primitive man. As they all looked at a rock, they began to make a sound to associate with the rock. Perhaps it was a grunt, a certain type of grunt. Then they all agreed that this specific grunt meant rock. So, look how language has developed to this day. It is quite complex and very intricate, but every word has developed out of agreement.

Skookum originated out of Chinook jargon in the Pacific Northwest. According to Wikipedia, it spread in the 1800s from the lower Columbia River, first to other areas in Oregon and Washington, then to British Columbia and Alaska. It sometimes took on characteristics of a creole language. It is related to the aboriginal language of the Chi-nook people, but is not the same. I love language.

So, I would like to say to readers: make this a SKOOKUM day! u

Talk with your kids about your expectations, rules for the big nightSo, your son or daughter is headed to the prom. They’ve got their outfit, ordered flowers and decided on which restaurant they want

to go to. They’re even planning to attend a party at a friend’s house after the dance. They’re definitely primed for the big night.Are YOU? Whether you know it or not, you’re the biggest influence on your teen when it comes to their making healthy choices.

The prom season- replete with a “big-event” feel, pre- and after-parties and raging hormones- is a great time to reinforce where you stand when it comes to such things as your teen steering clear of alcohol and other drugs.

Your best approach is to clearly and repeatedly communicate your family’s rules, help your kids think critically about prom night and connect with other parents.

Here are a few tips:-Talk with your kids about their plans and share your rules and expectations. That means agreeing

on a curfew, communicating your family’s no-tolerance policy on substance use, and not riding in a car with someone who has been drinking or using drugs. The reality is, alcohol is the biggest drug problem for youth. Opportunities to imbibe tend to increase around big activities like proms. But make no mistake: You’ve got the power to help your kids avoid alcohol and drug use. Talk with them and be clear about your rules.

-Talk specifically about any before-or after-parties they plan to go to. Those events can pose big risks. If a party is at a private home, talk with the host parents to ensure responsible adult supervision is planned and how you can support them.

-Be realistic and hammer out a contingency plan. Sometimes kids find themselves in risky situ-ations they didn’t expect to be in. Let your kids know they can call you or a trusted family friend if they find themselves in an unsafe situation and need a ride home. But be clear they may still face consequences from you, depending on the situation.

-Talk with your kids about effective ways to refuse offers of alcohol and other drugs. Together, practice responses they feel comfortable saying that can effectively remove them from risky situa-tions without embarrassment.

-Ask lots of questions about the evenings logistics. Make sure, for example, that you have a good handle on their transporta-tion plans and who they’ll be hanging out with before and after the prom. Your questions will help your teen think things through.

-Before the prom, connect with the parents of the kids your teen plans to be with. Share phone numbers and communicate your expectations.

-Before your son escorts his date out the door, or your daughter steps into the limo, tell them you love and care about them. Remind them you have confidence in their character and ability to make good decisions.

Many people believe life insurance is only for adults. After all, adults are the ones with the responsibility of a family; they need life insurance to ensure their family will be taken care of when they die.

Adults do need the security life insurance can provide. But did you know babies also need life insurance?

You may be thinking newborns have their entire lives ahead of them and they have plenty of time to get life insurance. Yet sometimes that isn’t true.

Children can encounter health complications shortly after birth. You probably have heard heart-rending stories of young children who have been diagnosed with heart prob-lems, cancer or some other illness.

Those types of health conditions can make it more difficult or impossible for a child to ever secure life insurance. Parents who obtain life insurance for children early pro-vide a guarantee to their children they will have insurance protection in the future when

Secure Your child’s future with Life insurancethose children may want to start a family.

Obtaining a life insurance policy on a child can also guarantee the child will have insurance protection should he or she decide to enter a dangerous occupation, such as an underground mine worker, or get involved in a dangerous activity, such as mountain climbing. Being involved in dangerous activities or occupations can make it impossible for the child to get life insurance in the future.

When is a good time to secure a life insurance policy for your child?Some insurance policies can be obtained as early as seven days after the birth of a

child.That may seem early, but the two most risky times for a child’s health is shortly after

birth when complications are diagnosed and again as teens when traffic collisions ac-count for a large percentage of deaths and injuries.

Illnesses and conditions that lead to an early death for a child can create costly medi-cal bills for a family. While little can ease the pain of losing a child, the available ben-efits from a life insurance policy could ease any financial burden resulting from medical treatment.

Another advantage to getting a policy early is the annual cost. Life insurance premi-ums are based on a person’s age at the time a policy is secured. The younger the person insured, the lower the annual premium.

With each year a permanent life insurance policy is in place, the cash value increases. Some companies are able to pay annual dividends, too, which are a non-guaranteed ele-ment of the policy that can help reduce the net cost of the coverage.

Also, proceeds resulting from death are income tax free and can be sheltered from probate. In addition, the money in a life insurance policy can be tax deferred and does not need to be declared when applying for college financial aid.

Many policies allow children to increase the amount of the initial life insurance coverage, within a specified limit, every three years, beginning at age 22 through 43, with no questions (such as those concerning health) asked. That can be good news for children with life-long health problems who may not be able to obtain life insurance on their own.

Good policies also offer other options, including other guarantee insurance choices and the ability to waive premiums in the case of disability.

Life insurance isn’t just for adults. By obtaining a life insurance policy on your child or grandchild, you can ensure that he or she has a secure future. u

that pay higher rates. Of course, if you hold your bonds until maturity, which is often a good idea, you can avoid being victimized by interest-rate risk.

• Concentration risk — This type of risk occurs when you have too much of your money concentrated in one area, such as in a particular stock or in one in-dustry. If a downturn strikes that stock or industry, your portfolio could take a big hit. To combat this type of risk, you need to diversify your holdings among stocks, bonds, government securities and other investments. While diversification, by it-self, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, it can help reduce the effect of volatility.

In addition to understanding the above types of risk, you also need to be familiar with your own risk tolerance and how it affects your investment strategy. If you are constantly worried about “the mar-ket,” you’ve probably got too many in-vestments that are at risk of losing prin-cipal. At the other end of the spectrum, if you’re always concerned that your port-folio won’t grow enough to generate the income you’ll eventually need for retire-ment, you may be investing too conserva-tively — and, as a result, you’re inviting inflation risk.

Ultimately, you need to match your own risk tolerance with a strategy that allows you to achieve your goals. This will require self-awareness, patience, dis-cipline — and, at times, a willingness to move outside your own “comfort zone.” By learning to balance and manage risk, you can ultimately put yourself in a posi-tion to pursue your investment strategy.

When Investing, Learn Aspects of Risk

La Pine has Coffee with Congressman Walden

By Dan Varcoe, La Pine Chamber of Commerce, Executive Director

In life, you can’t avoid all risks — and you shouldn’t try, because endeavors that carry risk also bring the prospect of re-ward. And it’s certainly the same in the investment world. So instead of trying to invest risk-free, which is impossible, learn to recognize the different types of invest-ment risk while becoming familiar with your own risk tolerance.

To start with, let’s quickly look at some of the most common forms of investment risk:

• Risk of losing principal — This is the type of risk most commonly associated with investing. You could lose some, or even all, of your principal if you sell an investment, such as a stock, whose value has dropped lower than the purchase price. You can’t eliminate the risk of losing prin-cipal, but you may be able to reduce it by buying quality stocks and holding them long enough to overcome short-term mar-ket drops.

• Inflation risk — With an investment that pays a fixed rate of return, such as a certificate of deposit (CD), you run the risk of not keeping up with inflation, which means you could lose purchasing power over time. Consequently, it’s a good idea not to “overload” on these types of invest-ments.

• Interest-rate risk — When you own a bond, your investment is somewhat at the mercy of changing market interest rates. For example, if you buy a bond that pays four percent interest, and market rates rise so that newly issued bonds pay five per-cent, the relative value of your bond will go down; no one will pay you face value of your bond when they can get new ones

It’s likely that your retirement income may come from many sources, such as Social Security, pension distributions, a 401(k) or IRA withdrawals. That’s why, if taxes are a concern for you, it’s important to choose the right investments for your portfolio. At Edward Jones, we have many options that can give you more control over your taxes, so you can enjoy what you’ve worked so hard to achieve.

Wood Recyclers in St. Helens, Oregon. Broberg is also a manager at H&H and says that they have biomass fuel piling up, ready for the plant.

Early discussions with the Water and Sewer Districts showed that Biogreen requires 10 acres of property for its plant. However, new estimates have revised this figure upwards to 19.5 acres. Another change since the start of the project is the type of turbine they plan to use. Instead of a refurbished turbine that only produces about 19 MW, they opted for a new, more efficient sys-tem that will create an additional 6MW, bringing the plant’s output up to the current estimate of 25MW. In total, the project cost is estimated at just under $70 million.

Biogreen will start construction once air qual-ity and building permits are granted by the De-partment of Environmental Quality and Deschutes County. The permits are expected in the Fall of 2010.

In order to receive an Investment Tax Credit (ITC) grant Biogreen must have 5% of its construction completed or in progress by the end of 2010. They are also leveraging funds from Oregon Business Energy Tax Credit (BETC) and have preliminary certifica-tion issued in 2009 – for state credit.

Biomass estimates that 20 new permanent positions at the plant will be created when the plant opens, including plant engineer, and plant supervisor. Additional temporary construction worker jobs will begin in the fall. http://www.biogreenenergyco.com u

The La Pine Chamber of Commerce hosted a “Coffee-Time” with U.S. Congressman Greg Walden on the morning of April 17th. Representative Walden discussed things that are currently on the table in Congress, including the massive and expensive so-called stimulus, energy tax, and healthcare bills that were rushed to a vote- in some cases in less than 24 hours after their introduction. He also talked about the imbalance that is occurring with government

spending, which is increasing at a rapid rate as employment rates continue to rise. And the local folks had a few things to share with the Congressman, too. There is

much local concern about the rising cost of health care, the heavy tax burden on small business, and restrictive land use laws. Tony DeBone expressed appreciation for the support that La Pine has received in the pursuit of converting BLM lands for use by the La Pine Community.

Four levels of government attended the “Coffee-Time” in La Pine… State Rep-resentative Gene Whisenant, Deschutes County Commissioner Tammy Baney and City Councilor Adele MacAfee shared their concerns, as well. u

Now that May is here, I am thinking about several things that have been on my mind a great deal through the winter months. I want to dis-cuss the idea of this society being connected at the hip, (so to speak), by cell phones, iPhones, com-puters, emails and now iPads. And I also want to talk about the English language, because the spoken and written word ex-cites me and inspires me to read, to listen and to create- but, there are certainly prob-lems around the way we communicate in-volving both venues!

Let’s start with this really insane need for constant communication. Nearly ev-eryone has a cell phone. Fields on ap-plications ask for home, work and cell numbers- as if this is standard operating procedure! Get real, people! We have gone too far. Even Oprah has set aside April 30th as a no phone day and she is busy getting people to pledge not to call, talk or text while driving. After watching her shows, I got really agitated about what we have done in just the last decade, to make this constant need to communicate part of our daily lives. I seriously do not under-stand why it is important at all to have ev-ery living, phone-dialing capable person, carry a phone so they can be reached at a moment’s notice!

I will give you a couple of examples: I lived in Colorado for a five year period and a dozen years ago on April 20 when Columbine High School was attacked by two of their own students in a shoot-ing rampage, killing thirteen innocents, it was horrific. Especially to those of us who were educators in the area. The thing that made it worse was the cell phone calls that came from inside the closed school, from mostly students, describing the scenarios, the events, the deaths, the dying and the fear that they felt for themselves and oth-ers. Parents knew more than the authori-ties in many cases and they were desper-ate to help their own children and find out who the victims were. Media picked up on the idea that they could scoop the story by taking calls from the people inside and the entire situation stalled because of misin-formation and extreme fear.

Another example: Since the technol-ogy for texting has come onto the cell phone scene, we have added several other

By T. Myers, Citizen Contributor

The New Seniorconcerns. Not only do people drive and text at the same time, but now some of our younger cell phone users have the ability to take pictures and post them, up-ping the anti with cyber bullying, sexting, taking videos of events, groups, friends and many other applications, that can have long range affects on the persons in-volved, including legal ramifications over privacy, and safety.

Why do we need to have these phones available to our young children? Surely there are still land line phones available for a call home. A quarter in the pocket to make a telephone call home or to be used if a kid needs help is cheaper and takes more thinking than reaching into a Barbie Doll backpack for a cell phone. And, what about the constant texting during school hours, or work hours, or while driving? I know of someone who has kids they are raising, a job they go to, and yet that per-son has time to text up to 1,100 times a day to people they are in constant commu-nication with. Come on! It is ridiculous that you cannot get through a day without calling a spouse or texting a spouse a mil-lion times a day about every little thing you want an answer for. Or- calling and texting a friend, girlfriend, boyfriend dur-ing school hours when you see them in the halls, at lunch, in class, after school or in the evening.

It is time for parents to get off the phones and take control of their children’s ability to constantly communicate and come up with a plan to stay in touch in a reasonable fashion!

Set up guidelines for calling and or tex-ting that have real limits with reasons why limits are important. And I am totally with Oprah in pledging to never talk or text while driving. (Every one of us knows of a close call or accident that happened be-cause of the cell phone usage!) Get online and make sure that you, your kids, your grandkids learn (Oprah.com) how danger-ous it is to use a cell phone while driv-ing. Then teach yourself and your families that they are important people who do not need the constant communication of ev-eryone they know in order to exist!

The next topic to consider is the idea of how we spell things in English. I want you to consider how much easier it would be for all of us if the soft G (giraffe) was always a J or how about the soft C (Cece-lia) was always an S. And how about those “ough”s were not pronounced differently like rough, through or thorough? We have so many poor spellers in our country, and now kids will tell you that they use spell check to find errors and fix them. Should we simplify the language? Think about it! I will see you next month. u

Little Deschutes Lodge: Owner Confident About Phase II”

Pacific Crest Affordable Housing own-er Rob Roy believes they will reach their goal of 100 quasi-qualified applicants for a second Little Deschutes Lodge. There was a brief questionnaire available for seniors until April 26th, asking pre-applicants questions that help the owners gauge the demand for another senior living center.

Combine the pre-applications with the wait list for the existing building, and it is obvious they will demonstrate demand for a second lodge. The original building had such a high demand that it filled to oc-cupancy in 10 days, rather than the usual six months.

Vivian Cooper, a resident of the Lodge and an advocate for affordable senior liv-ing, says “this is like a dream come true” to feel at home in a brand new apartment-type complex.

Pacific Crest owns the acreage north of the Senior Living Center, where they are gearing up to build Unit 2. Because of recent bidding wars in construction, Roy claims that “it’s a great time to build”, and it keeps the costs low. He expects that Unit 2 will cost about the same as the original unit, at $4.6 million.

Roy estimates it will be about a year and a half before Unit 2 opens. u

Reverse Mortgages – Something to think About….

By Dan PenaDid you know that last year more than 138,000 people took out a Reverse Mort-

gage? Some homeowners may have just wanted to make use of their equity while others may have just wanted to pay off their mortgage and eliminate what is typically their largest monthly household expense their mortgage payment. There are many uses for a Reverse Mortgage but there is one use that many may have not thought about and that is “Saving your home”.

A homeowner can still qualify for a reverse mortgage even if they are behind on their house payment and even if they are in foreclosure, because qualifying for a reverse mort-gage is not based on income or credit but more so on age, equity and the current expected interest rates. If you want to stay living in your home and not make another house pay-ment you can do that with this type of mortgage. Reverse Mortgages have been around for many years but very often they were sold to the homeowner rather than sitting down with the homeowner and finding out the what the homeowners needs were.

Here is some basic information on reverse mortgages: In a reverse mortgage, you receive money from the lender, and generally you don’t have to pay it back for as long as you live in your home. The Reverse Mortgage loan is repaid when you die, sell your home, or when your home is no longer your primary residence. The proceeds of a reverse mortgage are generally tax-free, and many reverse mortgages have no income restrictions. The youngest homeowner must be at least 62 years old and the home must be the homeowner’s primary residence.

To help protect the homeowner, FHA requires the homeowner to take part in an HUD approved counseling session in which they get unbiased loan information. A re-verse mortgage may not be a fit for every situation, but they may be worth considering, as a Reverse Mortgage can help homeowners through financial rough spots; provide financial security or provide a boost in someone’s lifestyle.

If you or someone you know are experiencing a financial hardship a Reverse Mort-gage may be an option, please feel free to call me with any questions you may have about Reverse Mortgages.Dan Pena is a Reverse Mortgage Loan specialist and can be reached at 541-977-7944. See Dan’s Ad below. u

Hearing Loss: third Most Common Health Problem

in the United StatesBy Central Oregon Audiology

Hearing loss currently affects more than 36 million Americans today. Although hear-ing problems are commonly associated with the normal aging process, more than half of all hearing-impaired persons are younger than 65. With the increased use of personal music players and earbuds, the number of Americans experiencing hearing loss at a younger age is growing.

On average, most Americans consider hearing loss a condition that is simply associ-ated with aging, and don’t know how to recognize the condition or who is qualified to diagnose and treat the condition. In an effort to raise public awareness for the growing number of Americans suffering from hearing loss, the American Academy of Audiology in conjunction with Central Oregon Audiology celebrates Better Hearing Month each May.

As part of Better Hearing Month, Central Oregon Audiology is encouraging con-sumers to be more aware of their hearing health by stopping by one of Central Oregon Audiology’s several free community screenings throughout the area in May. For more information on attending one of these free community screenings call (541) 647-2894.

“Hearing loss can be caused by exposure to loud noises; ear infections, trauma, or ear disease; harm to the inner ear and ear drum; illness or certain medications; and dete-rioration due to the normal aging process,” explains Jeanette Van Kessel, MA,F-AAA.

An audiologist is a highly educated and clinically experienced health-care profes-sional who specializes in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating people with hearing loss and balance disorders. Hearing loss can affect patients of all ages—newborns, infants, babies, toddlers, children, teens, adults, and the elderly.

You may have a problem with your hearing and need to see an audiologist if you have trouble hearing conversation in a noisy environment, such as a restaurant, are un-able to hear people talk to you without looking at them, or have a constant ringing or pain in your ears.

The first step in treatment of a hearing problem is a hearing evaluation by an audi-ologist.

Central Oregon Audiology’s audiologists have a variety of specialties to include, but not limited to:

• Performing Hearing evaluations on newborns and infants• Performing hearing evaluations on adults• Prescribing and fitting hearing aids • Prescribing and fitting assistive listening devices such as Bluetooth and FM sys-

tems • Designing and implementing hearing conservation programs and newborn hearing

screening programs • Providing hearing rehabilitation programs such as

• Auditory training • Family training and counseling• Listening skills improvement

Although most hearing loss is permanent, an audiologist can determine the best treatment, which may include hearing aids, assistive listening devices, and hearing re-habilitation.

If one reads the news from the Department of Agriculture and other international sites, 2010 looks to be the year when droughts, infestations, lowering of water tables, natural disasters, and the rising cost of oil will create a “perfect storm.” Food supplies of fruits and vegetables are expected to be seriously short, leading to vastly increased costs. Therefore, if you were wondering whether to attempt to grow a garden full of vegetables this year, you may want to take this into account. A happier reason might be taste. I just bought a bunch of strawberries that looked beautiful. But, I swear if I were blindfolded and someone popped one of them into my mouth, I would not have been able to tell what it was. It was about as tasty as a lump of Metamucil. Needless to say, I have higher hopes for my own strawberry patch. I’m increasing the number of my blueberry bushes as well. A tip for keeping birds from eating all your berries: string old CD’s around your plants to frighten the birds away. Seems to work. And, I have read that mulching with pine needles makes strawberries tastier. Got plenty of those…

Assuming that you already have your heritage, cold-hardy seeds on hand, it’s time to figure out where to put them for the best results. Surprisingly, it seems that plants have certain affinities and antagonisms to each other, and it behooves the gardener to know what they are. Pumpkins hate to grow close to potatoes, for instance. And, additionally, potatoes also should not be grown in the same place two years in a row. Good grief! We did get some positive information on potatoes, though, from our friend, Robert Ray. He’s already planted potatoes, despite the freezing temperatures of April nights. He maintains that even if the leaves are killed by frost, the potatoes will continue to grow and produce new leaves. So, maybe they are hardier than we thought. Hope so.

Spinach is a good companion plant for cabbages, onions, and peas. Spinach, though, is best in a shaded spot. Overheating will make it bolt. Swiss Chard and Kale are hardier and produce longer in our climate. Onions in alternative rows with carrots seem to help each other out. They also grow well with Swiss Chard and lettuce. French marigolds and lettuces are about as great together as ham and eggs. The marigolds keep away the pesky white cabbage butterfly, which can decimate your cabbage family crops in no time. The butterflies also don’t like aromatic herbs, such as sage, rosemary, thyme, dill, mint, and chamomile. So, borders of these herbs around your plants are good protection.

Every garden needs garlic. But, peas, beans, cabbage and strawberries don’t like it anywhere near them. If you have to, garlic can be grown separately in pots and moved around to ward off aphids on roses or spider mites on tomatoes.

Beets grow well with onions, Swiss Chard, lettuce, cabbages (broccoli and Brussels sprouts are included in the cabbage family), and dwarf beans. All beans grow well near carrots, cucumbers, cabbage, lettuce, peas, and cauliflower. But, all beans grow badly with garlic and fennel. We had great luck growing wax beans outside last year. However, we still plant our pole beans in the greenhouse to protect them from cold. The same goes for tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash. We even have to heat the greenhouse often times, because those vegetables freeze to death so quickly. The heartier ‘outside vegetables’ can be protected down to around 27F degrees with garden row covers at night.

All this companion planting information is from a book entitled, “Secrets of Com-panion Planting,” by Brenda Little. There is much more out there in the form of books, magazine articles, and online, so don’t just take my word for it- I’m still learning as well. As always, I hope to see you at the Little Deschutes Grange potlucks each third Tuesday evening of the month at 6pm. Intrepid vegetable gardeners are invited to come and share their adventures, victories, and horror stories and lend support to each other in these challenging times. That’s on Morson Rd, between Tom’s Garage and the office of the Frontier. Hope to see you there! u

Klamath Falls, Ore. - The Fremont-Winema National Forests are seeking public com-ments on its Travel Management Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA and maps will be available online starting Wednesday, April 21 at: http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/frewin/travel-mgmt/index.shtml

The document evaluates a no-action alternative and three action alternatives that would designate roads, trails and areas for motorized vehicle use on the Forest. The Forest decided to consider additional alternatives to the Proposed Action (released in August 2009) after reviewing all of the public comments. These new alternatives ana-lyzed the addition of selected closed roads to the motorized road and trail system.

“What we heard, from some of the public, during scoping of the Proposed Action were concerns that the Forest did not provide motorized access to remote recreation settings and lacked trails for ATVs, dirt bikes and four-wheel drive vehicles,” said Rick Newton, Acting Forest Supervisor. “Some wanted all closed roads to be opened for motorized public use.”

Newton added, that others thought the Proposed Action provided enough motorized access, but were concerned about the Forest adding more roads. The Forest also heard from many Rocky Point community members, who were concerned about the impact to their quality of life if the Fourmile Quarry was designated as an off-road motorized use area.

Alternative 3 is the Fremont-Winema National Forests’ preferred alternative. This alternative designates approximately 6,484 miles of roads and 177.5 miles of trails (to-tal of 6,661.5 miles) for motorized use. “Alternative 3 represents a blend of input from the public, local government, landowners and other agencies,” said Newton. “This al-ternative maintains the current open roads system and converts some closed roads to motorized trails. It also closes, or seasonally restricts, specific open roads for natural resource protection.”

In Alternative 3, corridors for motorized access to dispersed camping are proposed along 4,904 miles of designated roads. However, use of a motorized vehicle within these corridors will be restricted to already existing routes specifically for travel to and from camp sites. Corridors for motorized access to dispersed camping are not proposed for designation along any motorized trails. Alternative 3 also eliminates the cross-country use area at the Fourmile Quarry near Rocky Point.

The four EA alternatives are displayed in detail on 34 separate maps covering the entire Fremont-Winema National Forests. When printed at a legible scale, each map is quite large. Paper maps are available for viewing at the following locations:

First Quarter Report: Crescent/Gilchrist CATeam News Letter

By Barbara Sullivan, PresidentA BIG Thank you to our Crescent/Gilchrist Board Members. Many of the mem-

bers spend their personal time traveling to and from Klamath Falls for meetings and community projects. Other members are sharing information, and keeping us up-to-date on all of our local happenings. Normally I don’t name – names. However, I would like to express our thanks to our County Commissioner, Cheryl Hukill. She has made great efforts to help us resolve local issues, reporting back to us on county issues, and attending our meetings on a regular basis. Thanks again to everyone!

At our CATeam meeting on March 8, Nancy Craven, of Fidelity Investments, and Linda Swearingen, of Swearingen Group LLC reported on the “Crescent Creek Re-sort”. Given the economic situation the start up date is undetermined. They were very appreciative of our support last year helping defeat SB430 & HB2227, testify-ing in Redmond, and our overall support of the Resort project. They have acquired the water rights for the Resort project. When time is right, when they can market the resort, and all its amenities, starting with the overnight units (State ruling). They reported that the Resort will most likely be a much smaller footprint then earlier pro-posed. However, they are still looking forward to our support in the future when the economic tide turns.

Stephanie Serpico of the Oregon Department of Transportation reported on the phase two design for Crescent which has been finalized but has been postponed until April of 2011. They are going through the right-of-way acquisition process. The project will include widening the shoulder, putting in sidewalks, a right-turn lane at the Crescent Cut-Off Rd and removing the yellow flashing light at the intersection.

Klamath County Town Hall SummaryKlamath County Commissioners held a Town Hall Meeting and it was well at-

tended. The Commissioners gave us a brief report on the state of the Klamath County. They explained our current and future agricultural issues. The Klamath County Sher-iff’s Department represented by Officer Monty Holloway gave us information on the proposed levy. Funds are needed to maintain the current level of service from our Klamth County Sheriffs Department.

Gilchrist Forest Update

The Oregon Department of Forestry held an open house meeting to introduce the new “Gilchrist State Forest”. They announced that starting in April the following projects will begin:

• Small log & pole removal • Fire reduction and stand improvements Note: Walker Range Patrol Association will continue to have responsibility of fire

protection for the “Gilchrist State Forest”.For additional information you can contact the ODF (541) 883-5681 or Walker

Range Patrol Association (541) 433-2451

We hold our Crescent/Gilchrist Community Action Team meeting the second Monday of each month at 8 AM, Ernst Brothers Office. Please join us and share comments and/or concerns. To view our past meeting minutes you can visit “centera-loregoncommunityactionteams.org” u

The most effective way to prevent mishaps is to be adequately prepared.

Tip # 1: Call before you burn!Make sure burning is allowed – Call your local fire agency to learn whether a

permit is required. On the day you plan to burn, call to ensure burning is allowed that particular day. Fire agencies may suspend burning on short notice due to a change in weather conditions.

Check the weather – Even on an allowed burning day, local weather fluctuations could make it too dangerous to burn. Gusty winds, for example, could carry sparks from your burn barrel or pile to flammable brush or grass a considerable distance away.

Follow the rules – Comply with the burning and smoke management regulations that may be in effect.

Always stay with your fire – Until it is dead out.

Tip # 2: Prepare the Burn Site!Before burning backyard debris in a pile or burn barrel, prepare the site to reduce

the risk of the fire escaping. Otherwise, direct flame or sparks may ignite nearby veg-etation and cause a wildfire. Follow these simple steps:

wLook up, down, and around - Select an area where there are no overhanging limbs. Make sure the site is well away from buildings and autos.w Ten-foot radius - Clear the ground around the burn site down to mineral soil or gravel at least 10 feet in all directions. No vegetation or other flammable material should remain within that 10-foot radius. wHave firefighting tools ready - Have a charged garden hose or a fire extin-guisher, and a shovel, available at the burn site.

Tip # 3: Burn Barrel Safety!Using a burn barrel to dispose of backyard debris can reduce the risk of wildfire.

But make sure that your burn barrel has these features:wAll-metal construction in good condition. In addition to inspecting the walls of the barrel, check the bottom to ensure it hasn’t been weakened by rust.wThree evenly spaced, three-inch square vents spaced evenly around the rim near ground level. Each vent must be backed by metal screen.wMetal top screen with mesh size of one-fourth inch or finer.wStir your burning material often to introduce new oxygen.

Before burning, check regulations related to smoke management in your area. Clear the ground around the burn barrel down to mineral soil or gravel at least 10

feet in all directions. No vegetation or other flammable material should remain within that 10-foot radius. Have fire tools ready.

Tip # 4: Is your backyard debris burn really out?To ensure that a backyard debris burn is really out, follow these steps:wDrown the fire with water, turn over the ashes with a shovel and drown it again. Repeat several times until it is dead out. wCheck the burn area regularly over the next several days. Add more water and turn ashes with a shovel.

At the onset of warm, dry weather, especially when accompanied by wind, check the burn area again, even if it is weeks after the burn. Again, make sure the fire is cold and dead out!

For further information, contact your local fire agency. u

Safe Burning Tips

You can reduce your risk of wildfire in just a few

hours. Create at least 30 feet of defensible space around your home, a

fire resistant zone to help reduce thespread of wildfire and protect your property. Recycle

or compost your needles, leaves, small branches, and brush.Keep your property free from fire.

Make sure access and address signs are clear and unobstructed.

Install spark arrestor

on chimney.

Use fire resistant roofing.

Clearvegetation

and flammablematerials

away from fences and

decks.

Move firewood at least 30’ away from structures.

Place gas/propane

well awayfrom your

home.

Keep BBQ pits away from decks.

Reduce shrubsunder trees within 30’of yourhome.

Consult a forester before cutting

trees.

Watchwolf Creations is the result of a dream. Not the kind you have when you’re sleeping, the kind you have in your heart. I’ve always wanted to be able to express my creativity and have always had an affinity for wood and for painting. But my career took a very different path.

I joined the Air Force at the young age of 17. For over 20 years I worked on aircraft computer and navi-gation systems. When I re-tired I continued that sort of work with a defense con-tractor in computers. From there to the hospital in La Grande, Oregon and from there to the Pasadena Public Library. It was there I had finally found a place I felt

was close to my real nature and where I felt at home. And it was there that I began to explore my artistic side.

Wolf Prints were the result. I had always wanted to paint since childhood. But I was never satisfied with the result. Being a perfectionist, it was never “good enough.” But when my work at the library introduced me to computer art programs I knew I had found my medium, the perfect match between my affinity for computers and my talent as an artist.

We moved from Pasadena to Klamath Falls in Oregon and from there to Chiloquin after building a house there. While the house was being built I found Manzanita plants that had been growing on the property. I was fascinated by the natural art of the plant. It occurred to me that one piece would make the perfect walking stick. While working on that I thought no, this should be a cane. And so Wolf’s Wood Art came to be. After several pieces came out of the wood again my friends and family said I could sell these. And so I did. - Wolf Hodgkinson

William Riley played a big role in building La Pine, in the early 1900s. He built a ho-tel in La Pine that burned down in 1912. He then built a new hotel and adjacent grocery store. He later made part of his hotel into a merchandise store and a creamery. Bill was also active on the La Pine school board and a deputy sheriff in 1924. Other occupations included a freight agent, construction foreman for Deschutes Irrigation Canals, and a Land Company agent. Bill Riley died in Santa Barbara, CA in 1961.

His wife Annie was also very versatile. She cooked for the hotel, was a telephone operator, taught sewing, knitting, and crocheting, and she loved to fish. She often caught fish for dinner and cooked it.

Bill and Annie’s son, Harry Riley was an auto mechanic, bus and truck driver, welder, trumpet player, and commercial photographer. One day Harry was skiing in the woods and came across a stagecoach robbery in action. Because he was quiet and remained undetected, he was able to take a photo of the robbers on horses holding vic-tims at gun point.

Harry’s son, Robert Riley provides photos and information about his family in the book “History of La Pine Pioneers”, which this article is credited to. The photos were kindly provided by Amber Franks, La Pine resident, whose grandparents lived near the above Riley log home which was off Howard Road. u

You hear the news on TV and radio and you see it in the newspaper: according to the Bend Bulletin, 34% of Oregon families are currently receiving unemployment benefits. Here in Central Oregon unemployment reached 16% and our number of homeless is growing. We do not have to convince

you that this economic downturn has had a damaging effect on many in our community.Amidst the current economic crisis, requests for emergency food have been escalat-

ing across the state of Oregon as well as here in our own back yard. This year we have seen a 43% increase in the demand for our services. The current economy has also ef-fected our donations and fundraisers this year like other non-profits in Central Oregon. So far, as a whole we have been able to meet the increase in need, but there have been those days that we have been forced to close our Pantry doors because we have depleted our supplies due to the increase demand. The community’s hard work and dedication kept them open. I want to thank every volunteer at the Kitchen for all that you do to serve your neighbors in need.

On a personal note, I would like to express my gratitude to the La Pine VFW Post 7242 for their ongoing support of the La Pine Community Kitchen over the last eight years. Not only has the VFW supported us in allowing the Kitchen to lease their build-ing for a minimal amount, they have also supported the Kitchen financially by holding fundraisers, volunteering and partnering with us in raising and collecting donations. Without the VFW’s altruistic work on our behalf, the La Pine Community Kitchen would not be the community support agency it is today.

Please remember the La Pine Community Kitchen this summer. Those who are hungry during the holidays are still hungry during the summer. We accept food, clothing, hygiene items and pet food year-round.

Thank you for your support. u

go Rosland Rockets! Linda Smith, South County Education Center

Members of the Rosland Naming Committee met to choose a school mascot and school colors. After considering several suggestions submitted by students of the three La Pine area schools, the committee selected the “Rocket” for the school mascot and “Red/Silver” for the school colors.

The new school will open in September for the 2010-2011 school year. An Open House will be held during the week preceding the first day of school to give everyone the opportunity to see Bend La Pine’s newest elementary school. The Open House will also give parents an opportunity to meet their child’s teacher and visit the classrooms.

This new elementary school is a real asset to the entire community. The school will be a LEED certified school using less water and power than most similar schools. It has solar panels on the roof, which will be used to generate electricity. Much of the building materials were recycled and most of the wood is from sustainable forests.

Please be sure to visit the Bend La Pine Schools website – www.bend.k12.or.us - if you are still not sure what school your child should attend for the 2010-2011 school year.

Poetry Book:

I see waves crashing against the shore

And I am reminded of God’s compassion

As patterns in the sand are gone

God treats my mistakes in this fashion.

With the power in the ocean’s tides

Crab shells and seaweed disappears

The beach is cleared of what was there

Just as God’s comfort allays my fears.

The love God gives is overwhelming

Like the waves upon the shore

I sense his forgiveness washing clean

As I learn to trust him more.

The church doors kept banging as kids ran in and out of the church. They were stacking their bags in the hallway, waiting for the church vans and bus to load up and take them to camp. What excitement! What NOISE! WHAT QUESTIONS! When do we leave? Where do we go? Can I sit with Garrett….or Skylar? I wanna this….I wanna that!!!

Buddy The Church Mouse’s head was just spinning! He had to stay out of sight but he also wanted to see everything that was happening right in his church.

Sniff, sniff! Something smelled good and it was right near-by. It smelled like cheese – oh, boy!

U-u-m! Buddy was following his nose and thought, “These bags stacked here…this sack…I think I can get it…and it is dark so nobody will see me.” And Buddy slipped right into the dark sack with the cheese sandwich that George had brought.

After a brief prayer, “ALL ABOARD,” the bus driver called to the kids. “Get your bags in the back of the bus or on the trailer then come up and find your seat,” he said.

About that time, Buddy felt his sack jiggle around and bump a couple of times. “Oh, No,” Buddy thought. “I can’t get out now, everyone will see me. Do I have to go to camp? Oh, what shall I do?” At least George got his sack in the back of the bus. Buddy was on the bus!

R-R-R! R-R-R-U-u-u m-m! The bus engine started up. The bus rocked back and forth as the kids got on and found a seat while shouting and sitting on each other’s laps, pulling ears and slugging shoulders. What excitement!

Everyone finally put on their seat belts as the church bus launched into motion. Now you could hear talking…no longer was their shouting. And so far, nobody knew that Buddy was also on the bus. u

If your notes could show me colors it would start in shades

of blue,

Then increase to reds and yel-lows ending with a pink and

purple sunset.

How can your melody make me feel so much?

It traces your life through hopes and dreams.

It spits reality as each hope fades and each dream is

taken.

Then it spews of courage to rage on irregardless.

I lovingly envy you.

Cleansing Waves of Love


La Pine Community Easter Egg Hunt

By Wendy Price, Citizen ContributorThe ground seemed to be covered by

a white blanket of colorful polka dots. Vibrant Easter eggs practically hid the night’s unexpected snowfall, but that did not stop the hundreds of eager children waiting for the signal to finally find out what lay inside the many eggs. Faces anx-ious with anticipation, children patiently braced themselves for the coming excite-ment. Finally, the MC for the day, Stephen Miller, yelled the word everyone had been waiting for…GO! Children thundered from behind the lines in a sea of chaos, but most of all enjoyment! One minute later, and the polka dot blanket was not so dotted anymore.

When the egg hunt had reached an end, the activities had hardly ceased. Inside the white school building the festivities con-tinued with face painting, 3-legged races, a jump house, beanbag toss and plenty of food! Parents chatted joyously with their fellow neighbors and the real meaning of community was realized. All of the amuse-ment was made possible because of the many sponsors including; La Pine Parks and Rec, McDonald’s, Scootr, FACT, Wilderness Garbage, La Pine Chamber of Commerce, La Pine Community Kitchen, and Crescent Creek Church. Thank you for all your hard work and donations. The First Annual La Pine Community Easter Egg Hunt was a success and will hopefully become a tradition for the years to come. u

Hello this is Vance and Mike and this month we are going to talk about Vance’s 11th B-Day.

We got home after school on Wednesday, March 31st, it was early release that day so that was cool.

We went to Ponderosa pizza and met up with Shane and Justin. We all played a bunch of video games and ate pepperoni pizza. Ponderosa Pizza has the BEST pepperoni pizza!

Later we all went to Vance’s Grandpa’s house and played basketball on his half court. We went inside and had cake and I opened cards and presents. Vance got 60 bucks! He got a beaver’s blanket from Mike (our favorite college football team), and he got a big present and I thought it was a shotgun at first, but it was really cool golf clubs! After that we all went outside and played football together.

Later that night we took everyone home. It was Vance’s best Birth-day ever!

Mom 2 MomMom 2 Mom is a column that addresses family issues in La Pine. It is written by a La Pine wife and mother of two. Send any comments or questions [email protected]. Here is the first article in this monthly series.

Life is never easy and once you be-come a parent this truth becomes painfully obvious. My husband and I met when we were only 17. Within 3 months of meeting we decided to move in together. He grad-uated top of his class while in foster care, and was offered free room and board and a college scholarship. I wish I could say he took the offer and we had a good experi-ence our first time battling the world, but then we wouldn’t have the lessons we’ve learned to teach to our girls. Instead, to make a long story short, he refused the scholarship because I couldn’t live with him. He was fired after getting caught sleeping on a graveyard shift at a carpet factory. Since I was a high school drop out, Burger King wouldn’t even hire me so we were forced apart. My parents came to my rescue and he was left behind devising a plan to keep us together. Two weeks later he showed up at my parents house in the Sequoia National For-est with a tent and a beat up 1983 Toyota Corolla. We lived on a river for about 7 months. My mom would sneak us home sometimes to let us shower and cook us a hot meal, but that was behind my father’s back. My husband wanted more for us so

before his 18th birthday, he enlisted in the military. I re-enrolled in school and fin-ished before we were married at the ages of 19. He finished his term of service and we moved to the East Coast. We wanted kids. We tried and after I had an emer-gency Doctors visit, I was told I couldn’t bare children due to scar tissue preventing me from dropping eggs. They gave me a shot and two months later I started to feel sick again. Rather than assume the worse, my husband told me to get a pregnancy test. Within 3 seconds it was positive. I was turning 21 in a few weeks and just re-ceived the best gift imaginable. Now here we are in Oregon. We arrived in 2007 and have a good life. Our girls

are 10 and 6 years old. They are complete opposites and this causes a lot of disputes between them. They wrestle worse than boys and everyday they create more hard-ships. We have tried several types of corrective discipline both personally and professionally, and do you know what we have learned so far? That kids are com-pletely unpredictable. Just when you get one working method to fix a problem, a new one arises. Mom 2 Mom is my way to help other parents to get through this struggle. My plan is to discuss all topics related to rais-ing kids. Topics from sex, drugs, religion, death, and many other issues that I am sure I will encounter in time. I hope you enjoy. u


There is so much information in the world today. If you want to know something all you need to do is ask Google and you will get about 9,000 pages of references to choose from and most of it is conflicting. How do you know what to believe?

Fitness is no exception to this terrible thing called “information overload”. One day you hear “carbs are good for you” and the next day you hear “carbs are bad.” How do we dispel myth from fact in a world where everyone seems to have a different opinion.

You are great about going to they gym, but what do you do when you get there? Do you feel that you have a fitness routine that covers all the bases? Or do you hope and pray that you are doing at least one thing right?

The first thing you need to know is that you should have a plan already in place before your next trip to the local gym. So pull up a chair, and take some notes because I am about to tell you all you need to know about that plan of yours.

First, write everything down. Keep a fitness journal and map out your entire week. You will want to start by making sure you are getting exer-cise at least four or five days a week. You need to have a balance of cardio (walking, jogging, swim-ming, etc.) and strength training (weights, bands, pilates, etc.). I know many people who think all

they need is cardio, yet they are never satisfied with their results. Why is that? If you exercise with only cardio, that is great, but you will end up looking more like a deflated balloon than the sexy pinup you dream of being.

Make sure to incorporate some balance and stretching to help prevent injuries. This one is very important so pay close attention: relaxation is absolutely necessary in a well rounded fitness routine. Without proper rest your body will tire easily and most likely cause injury.

If I were you, I would start with alternating cardio and strength training days, and al-ways end with a cool down exercise that focuses on stretching. Here is an example. You could spend Monday, Wednesday and Friday doing your cardio. Pick from one of the machines at the gym, like the treadmill or bike. Then Tuesday and Thursday you could work on your strength training. My personal favorite is the resistance bands. Then allow Saturday and Sunday to rest and recover. Spend time each session with a few warm up exercises and end with cool down exercises and stretching. My other personal favorite is to end with yoga.

This information is meant to be used as a guideline only. Some people have special circumstances and I recommend you always consult a professional when planning your personal fitness routine. u

Health & FitnessA Well Rounded Routine

Gardening Tips for the BodyBy Livia VanLoo, M.S.P.T from La Pine Physical Therapy

As the snow melts and the weather im-proves many locals are looking forward to the next gardening season. Here are a few tips to keep your back safe as you work:

Use good body mechanicsMost people know what this means but of-

ten do not apply the concept. Essentially you want to protect your back by bending at your knees. Limit the amount of rotation you do with your body, instead take a step or pivot on your foot. Keep loads light and close to your body.

Gradually increase the amount of work you do.

This is hard when we may have one nice day to get all the work done, but like any activ-ity your body needs time to adjust and build up to the tasks before you go for long periods. General body exercise is good to do after you have been gardening. Consider taking a 10-15 minute walk when you are done.

Use the right equipment.If you have arthritis in your hands, you may

benefit from a wider grip on pruners or trim-mers. Look for tools that feel comfortable in your hand, are lightweight and durable. Hav-ing the right equipment for the task and using it correctly will often increase your efficiency.

Modify the way you have done tasks. For example, if you have had a total knee

replacement, you should not be kneeling. Con-sider using a portable bench that you can sit on. There are many versions of the portable bench-es. Some are on wheels, others can be used to kneel or sit on and some have a bar to help you back up. Think of what limits you from being in the best position. Difficulty getting up? Get the handle option. Difficulty moving the item? Get one with wheels and a handle to pull it. An-other option would be to raise the flower beds so they are at a better height. Consider a work bench that is an ideal height for you.

Raking.With raking, alternate directions frequently.

Take shorter pulls. Pick up small loads with good mechanics.

Good luck with your gardening endeavors!!

Let’s face it: Stress is part of everyday living. In fact, a stress-free life might be quite boring, al-though I’ll bet most of us would argue that point! What are some of the causes of our stress?

Emotional StressAnger, grief, fear, and other emotions affect

our entire body. Notice the posture of someone who is sad or depressed. Frustration, or a sense of powerlessness, is a common form of emotional stress.

Much of the emotional stress we experience is largely self-induced. How we look at the world dictates our response. Someone once said “there are no stressful situations, just stressful responses”. While that statement might seem a bit simplistic, clearly it is not the stress, but our response to it that is most important. Imagine how much pain and suffering result from attaching inappropriate meaning to events in our lives? Or the constant burden we experience by not forgiving others?

Physical StressA whiplash injury from a car accident, a fall from a horse, repetitive motions, a slip

on the ice, lack of sleep, working too hard on putting in our firewood or overdoing it in the yard are all sources of physical stress. Early on, learning to walk or ride a bike and even the birth process itself are sources of physical stress. Accumulated stress exhausts our reserves. Then something as simple as bringing in firewood can put us over the edge. Physical stress can affect our muscle tone, coordination and the way our nervous system works thus making us feel poorly and leaving us with a lack of energy.

Chemical StressCommon sources of chemical stress include poor nutrition, sugar, refined carbohy-

drates, unhealthy fats, and exposure to toxins used in manufacturing. Drugs, preserva-tives, tobacco, vaccinations, alcohol, pollen and a host of other substances also affect our nervous systems, muscle tone and our spines.

If you lack the reserves necessary to adapt to stress in a healthy way, stress takes its toll. When our body is under stress, be it physical, emotional or chemical, we create a more acidic environment in which disease flourishes.

Healthy Responses to StressImproving diet, stretching, meditation, relaxation and regular exercise are all healthy

approaches. Follow a good nutritional program and don’t be shy in asking a professional for help! Regular visits to your chiropractor, massage therapist or acupuncturist are key to being able to accommodate stress and relieve pressure on the nervous system. Con-sider enrolling in a Yoga or stretching class to help naturally relieve your stress. Did you know that all of these services are available in our area? Pick just one and feel the difference. You’ll not only begin feeling better almost instantly, you’ll also most likely live a longer, healthier life!

It was once told to me that people’s opinions were like Gemstones. Sometimes they like to show them off. Although you may not like a certain kind of Gem, if somebody else is proud of that stone, they should be allowed to show it off to others. That said, here are a few Gems I picked up this month when I asked:

By richard Grotsky

QUESTION: “ Do you think greed has a firm grip on society?”

“ Yes, because if you look at kids. They are made greedy by their parents. And when they grow to adults they just pass it on.” Dave, age 48, Portland, Or.

“ Yes, I believe greed is a motivator. I think it’s a natural instinct for survival.” Kevan, age 51, La Pine, Or.

“ Yes, selfishness dominates people today, because people are no longer willing to help others, only themselves.” Dana, age 37, La Pine, Or.

“ Yes, because we are motivated by what we want next as consumers.” Eli, age 17, La Pine, Or.

“ No, because I have seen a few people who would give their shirt off their back to total strangers. So I think there is hope.” Margrite, age 22, Scottsdale, Az. u

Korean War, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq Wars.

Some attendees are: Larry Nelson, who has been with the group for six years; Chuck Sellentin, a 90-year old Pearl Har-bor survivor; Phil Emmith from Redmond, who is a Vietnam Navy hospital Corpman. Phil says the group is very effective for camaraderie, since most Vets tend to iso-late themselves.

“Everyone had a job in the service and everyone’s job was important,” says Phil.

Why is this group so effective? Be-cause it’s informal, is not an organization, has no dues, and no set program. But it does have a lot of visiting amongst fellow veterans.

Join your people at Wednesdays at 9:00am, Gordy’s Restaurant, 17045 Whit-ney Rd, La Pine, OR. u

then someone sends him a copy of her death certificate with a question mark. When he tracks down her friends, people start dying. Nancy Bush is the author of the popular Jane Kelly mystery series set right here in Oregon. Candy Apple Red, Electric Blue, and Ultra Violet have Jane and her pug Binkster on the case. Working as a pro-

cess server while becoming a de-tective, Jane is up to her pretty neck in trouble. Her hunky boss thinks she will make a great detective; Jane would like to stay alive while she learns. Bink-ster does not shirk his part of the ac-tion either. Jane is

a plucky protagonist, the series is great fun, and the Portland area settings add to the pleasure. Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush teamed up to write Wicked Games. Jessie Brentwood disappeared twenty years ago; Detective McNally reopens the case when bones are found at Jessie’s school. Set in Oregon, this one will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you enjoy mysteries and want to spend a fun evening with two best-selling authors, this is your event.

Heidi Durrow will be with us Saturday May 22nd at 5:00 PM. The Girl Who Fell From the Sky, winner of The Bellwether Prize, has been gathering abundant critical praise. Rachel arrives at her Grandmoth-er’s home in the Albina district of Portland after a family tragedy in Chicago. Haunted

May is full of entertaining author events. From advice on hiking along with gorgeous pictures to hot fiction authors, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

William Sullivan will be with us at 5:00 PM on Saturday May 8; he has hiked

every major trail in the state of Oregon. If you want a good experience hik-ing, pick up one of his well re-searched guide books. This fifth generation Or-egonian knows our states natu-ral wonders and history from

top to bottom. We always look forward to one of his slide shows because they are not only gorgeous, they inspire us to get out and hit the trail. This year he has updated his 100 Hikes in Southern Oregon. Cra-ter Lake is a gob-smacking natural won-der, a perfect day trip from Sunriver, and surrounded by great hikes. If you are in-

terested in the history of Oregon, his Hik-ing Oregon’s History will take you off the beaten track to places of historic signifi-cance. Sullivan has also written a com-prehensive Atlas of Oregon Wilderness and Oregon’s Greatest Natural Disasters. He has two memoirs, Listening for Coyote and Cabin Fever, a light, funny mystery, The Case of Einstein’s Violin, and a his-torical fiction, A Deeper Wild. He puts on a great show, is a witty entertaining speak-er, and has seriously beautiful slides.

A Night of Mystery Saturday May 15th at 5:00 PM brings two fabulous northwest authors back to Sunriver Books & Music: Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush. Their last event with us in 2007 was outrageously great fun. Our readers are still talking about the event and asking for a return booking! Be sure not to miss them this time. Lisa Jackson is a New York Times bestselling author with an impressive body of work. Malice, one of her latest, has Detective Ricky Bentz eager to be back at work in New Orleans after recovering from a horrible accident.

The Foodie ColumnBy T. Myers, Citizen Contributor

H o o r a y ! Hooray! It’s the month of

May! Outdoor living b e - gins today! Or something close to that! The weather has continued to be a puzzlement for Central Oregonians and we are waiting for the first real signs of summer. At least I am! I look forward to the cloudless blue skies, the warm days- even hot days- and the evenings where you sit on the deck swatting early mosqui-toes, drink a beverage of choice and enjoy being in a beautiful setting surrounded by trees, mountains and some close friends.

May is a great time of year to get ready for those picnic baskets by the lake, where you can fish for trout, bring it home, and fry in butter for dinner, and the wonder-ful events that happen in May. Mother’s Day is a nice time for family and friends to gather and celebrate the role of the MOM, but also to connect to your cooking roots and establish a teachable tradition for your family to use again and again.

When you select a menu for Mother’s Day, base it on some of your family tradi-tions. At our house, we love to consider my mother’s tastes in choosing dishes then we all contribute something to make the meal complete. We often try a nostalgic dish that Mom suggests so we remember some of the things we used to have. That is our tradition.

Try selecting and assigning menu items to each member of your family and as your family prepares, serves, eats and celebrates together, you can enjoy every-thing from cooking and table setting, dis-cussions about the reasons the foods are important to the family and hopefully a sense that each generation can pull things from the past to make the future brighter!

For Mom’s Day we start with some-thing traditional - a roast turkey with cran-berries and a salad. I will also be trying a new pasta dish I found on the Food Chan-nel. It is based on the Barefoot Contessa’s

French Lasagna, but without meat (Have we talked about the movie Food, inc.?)

I start by cooking penne pasta because it has ridges that hold the sauce and it is not too big. Then I simmer diced toma-toes, sautéed mushrooms and onions, fresh grape tomatoes, garlic, fresh herbs of my choice and cubes of everything veggie that would be great in marinara. You can use a jarred sauce and add the cooked veggies to it. Mix the sauce and veggies with the cooked pasta and spread them in a big baking dish. Now, the fun begins!

Create a béchamel sauce made out of a flour and butter roux, cooked well and with added milk. Add salt and pep-per added to taste. When the béchamel is ready, thick and delicious, add a large spoon of the marinara sauce to create a light pink sauce. Then shred a cup of fresh parmesan cheese, and add ¾ cup of Fon-tina (another favorite melting cheese) to the béchamel. Remove from the heat and mix in the cheese- but don’t try to melt it yet- let the oven do that! Pour the bé-chamel mixture evenly over the pasta and bottom layer of the sauce.

Brown some bread crumbs in butter and slice some large ripe tomatoes to set on top of the dish in slices. Add the toast-ed bread crumbs over the top of the casse-role and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. It should come out of the oven with a crispy topping, roasted tomatoes and a delicious layered lasagna feel. If you have vegetarians over for supper, this dish is fantastic! Garlic bread makes the meal perfect!

We will finish our dinner with a pseu-do-Boston Cream cake made with lemon pudding filling instead of vanilla and topped with meringue made from the egg whites. It is delicious and different. Very Springy!

I hope your time to celebrate is fabulous and Bon Appetit!u

by her staggering loss, she is thrown into a new school where she stands apart, dif-ferent from her classmates. Her Danish Mom handed down sky blue eyes and her Black GI Dad gave her soft, caramel colored skin. Rachel is unsure what de-fines her, the white heritage of her dead mother, or the black of her father. Are we so easily defined? Does the color of our skin really dictate who we are? Rachel will have to invent herself or accept the definitions society provides. As Rachel grapples with fitting into her new home, slowly the tragic circumstances of her move to Portland are revealed. This is a masterful novel, a compelling story about a family tragedy and a young girls search for cultural and racial identity. We are sometimes gifted with the chance to intro-duce you to a major new talent; this will be such an evening. Heidi Durrow’s writ-ing is powerful.

Mr. Bob, as he was known, to some was the epitome of “Christ like love”. If there was ever a need he could help with, he was there. Bob served during the Korean Con-flict in the U. S. Air Force. Bob was a man who loved life. He enjoyed teasing most everyone he knew. He never had an unkind word about anyone. He said that his Dad told him that if he didn’t like someone not to be unkind, just stay away from them. Bob was grateful for his family, he respected the work and effort that his Grandmother, Dad, Aunts and Uncles put forth in his upbring-ing. His cousins were the closest he came to having a sibling relationship, and those memories were good ones.

SPORTS & RECREATION

The River-house Convention Center “buzzed” for three days in April during the Governor’s Tour-ism Conference. There were exhib-its, meals, speak-

ers, and classes to keep the 400-plus attendees busy. The attendees included anybody with an affiliation to tourism in Oregon, from visitor centers to hotels, writers and sales people.

A couple of speakers that stood out during this event were: Wade Davis, Na-tional Geographic explorer-in-residence and author of “The Wayfinder: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World”, whose book sold out after his spectacular mind-bending speech during Monday’s lunch session. And Tuesday’s closing lunch speaker, Rachael Scdoris, American dog musher. Rachael said she is near-sighted, far-sighted, and color blind, yet ran the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race across Alaska multiple times since she turned 18. Rachael is 25 years young and continues to “wow” people with and without disabilities.

Exhibitors included: Sisters Country, Ski Oregon, National Geographic, Or-egon Birding Trails, and more. u

Amazing Speakers at

tourism Conference

“Woodpeckers Don’t get Concussions or Headaches, But We Do”

So imagine your unprotected head hitting a brick wall at 15 miles per hour. Ouch! At the very least you’d have a bad headache, but you would probably have a severe concus-sion or worse- much worse. But that is the equivalent of the impact that a woodpecker is repeatedly subjected to as he pounds away at a tree.

Woodpeckers have a wonderful adaptation inside their skulls that is designed to pre-vent injury to their heads and brains. Unlike you and me, woodpeckers do not have a space between their brains and their skulls. Woodpeckers have a unique spongy bony covering that completely encases their brains so that there is no space inside their skulls. This spongy bone absorbs all the shock from the impact of the constant pounding and prevents injury.

We, on the other hand, have a space in our heads between our brain and our skull. So if we are in an accident and our head hits something and stops suddenly, our brain keeps moving until it slams up against the cranium. Then it rebounds and hit’s the opposite wall for a double whammy. The result is an instant concussion and/or worse.

What if you are riding your mountain or road bicycle for whatever the reason – work, school, recreation - and you have an accident? Guess what? Chances are you will be injured in some way, and quite possibly a head injury.

Wearing an approved bicycle helmet can and will save you from serious injury or possibly even death. So even though you are reading this is in the recreation section, the main thrust of the article is to always wear your helmet!

Modern bicycle helmets are designed to meet very stringent safety and impact stan-dards set up by the bicycle industry and the US Government. Your helmet is intended to cushion your head and prevent injury in an accident much the same was as the spongy bone inside the woodpecker’s skull protects him. Wear your helmet!

I, the author, am living proof that wearing a helmet can save your life. One year ago, as I was riding across the United States, I suffered a very bad crash. My helmet saved my live. I woke up in a trauma center two days after the crash with numerous broken ribs, punctured lungs, and a concussion. My bicycle helmet did not survive the crash however, having done what it was designed to do - to save my life. (My helmet was completely fractured) Wear your helmet!

Parents, when your riding with your kids, whether for recreation or when your are teaching them to ride their bikes, you should also wear your helmet. Young, impression-able kids will model their parents, and if they see that wearing a helmet is important for you, they will believe that it is important for them as well.. Wear your helmet!

Look around and notice that any organized bicycle event, whether it is a professional or amateur race, a group ride, or a local or cross country tour, bicycle helmets are always required. Wear your helmet!

The bicycle season is upon us here in La Pine (yay!) so put on your helmet and go out there and have some fun! There are plenty of dirt trails that are open already.

Next time: Why motorists dislike bicyclists and what we can do about it.

Editor’s note: To find an inexpensive, usable helmet try a thrift store like St. Vincent De Paul, or the ReStore in La Pine. Carry an extra one in your car just in case. u

NEW: 2010 Spring Fishing ForecastWant to see what might be new at your favorite fishing hole, or maybe you’re look-

ing for a totally new fishing adventure for 2010? The Forecast describes access, water levels, recent regulation changes, prime times to fish, and tips on gear, lures and tech-niques for hundreds of rivers, streams, lakes and reservoirs throughout the state. http://www.dfw.state.or.us/RR/fishing_forecastz u

Two veteran fishing writers have teamed up with expert sources across Oregon to create a new Web site to help recreational anglers master where, when and how to fish in the state’s best waters.

The site, www.BestFishingInOregon.com, went online in April and contains a fast-growing collection of articles about fishing in waters stretching from the Oregon Coast to the Snake River and from the Columbia River down to the California line. There is no cost to use the site – and for a limited time, site visitors may be rewarded with prizes to be awarded with a free drawing.

While on the site, visitors can sign up for a free e-mailed fishing newsletter that delivers timely news directly to subscribers. Also, for a limited time, being on the sub-scription list will enter eligible anglers in a free prize drawing. The drawing deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, June 11, and winners will be chosen the following day.
