Celebrate Summer!
The Coming Community Crisis? Over the next few months, I will be exploring and reporting on a looming crisis: Jacksonvilles diminishing volunteer pool happening due to demographic shifts. In other wordsour aging population means that younger volunteers are needed to step-up and take the reins for several community organizations. Community-based and focused volunteers working with the Boosters Club, Forest Park, Beekman Arboretum, Garden Club and others need volunteer replenishment to continue the mission of making Jacksonville a great place to live. For decades, these groups have provided incalculable hours of work, resulting in a better quality of life for everyone living here today. If you are reading my comments and know someone who would be interested in volunteering, cut this article out, hand it to them and ask them to call me! I will put them in-touch with someone who needs their help. With so many volunteers to thank and so much to celebrate, I hope you enjoy summertime in Our Small Town with Big Atmosphere!

From l-r, Chef Tom Bates, Owner Jerry Hayes and Restaurant Manger Christian Hamilton This month marks the 25th anniversary of the opening of the Bella Union Restaurant, one of Jacksonvilles most treasured and enduring dining establishments. The Bellas owner and beloved leader is Jerry Hayes, a man who feels grateful for being in business for a quarter century in Jacksonville. First off, Im very proud that the Bella Union has become a gathering place for locals for the last 25 years and a memorable stop for tourists visiting Southern Oregon, Jerry says. Hayes is also keenly aware of how many locals decided to move to Jacksonville after falling in love with the town over lunch or dinner at his placeespecially during the summer months while dining on the patio under the legendary canopy of wisteria vines that provide shade and ambiance. Yeah, customers do tell me the Bella factored into their first impression of townand its always nice to hear that we helped create a good and lasting image. When Hayes bought the Bella, the business had been closed for two years, making for an uncertain but exciting future. My goal when I opened, in June of 1988, was to create a fun, casual atmosphere that was welcoming to sophisticated diners as well as families and certainly a place where the citizens of Jacksonville could feel comfortable. Today, although pleased about providing a vibrant community gathering place, Jerry is most proud of the quality employees hes attracted, trained and maintained over the years. Today, a few Bella employees who started with Hayes in 1988 are still with him, including Chef Tom Bates and Christian Hamilton. Recently, Toms daughter Megan started working at the Bella while in high school and will work summers while home from college. Chris, who started as a bus boy at age 15, is now the Bellas Restaurant Manager. Last year, his 18-year old son, Isaac, started working as a busboy while still in high school and also plans to pay his way through college bussing and waiting tables. Chris, whos also a successful real estate agent with Windermere Real Estate here in town, notes that the Bella is a place that has sparked lots of marriages, including his own! Hayes is all grins when he talks about the number of employees, including Tom and Chris, who now have children working in the restaurantmore than eight current employees are on what he deems his next generation list. Although the Bella Union became one of the regions most successful restaurants, it was not a forgone conclusion twenty-five years ago when Jacksonvilles commercial core was struggling. Hayes deserves credit for standing the test of time and taking big risks to weather economic storms. One way Hayes beat the winter business doldrums was by creating Oysters and Alesnow in its 14th year. All year long, musicians play in the Bellas bar, adding to events that attract people to town. Events like it have become very successful which are great for the Bella and other businesses in town, especially during the off-season when everyone needs a shot in the arm. Jerry invites everyone to Bellabration XXVwhich promises to be another fun event. The event will feature wine tasting and appetizers on the patio, as well as jazz music from David Pinskys Rhythm Kings Quartet, a 25-year performer at the Bella. My vision is for this event to attract as many of the old Bella employees and regular customers to a grand reunion that will be a fun evening, as well as a spring board for moving ahead for 25 more years!

Then we received a $5,000 grant from the Oregon Cultural Trust, which we used as matching funds for a $5,000 Kinsman Foundation grant. She also emphasizes the funds that JHS raised through Victorian Christmas tours, Victorian theme tours, and last summers Living History program. There are some incredible volunteers who made the tours possible. They love the Beekman House and are anxious to see it reopen. City Administrator Jeff Alvis added his comments. "We have JHS to thank for raising the money that is making these repairs to the House possible. And the City appreciates all of the effort the Jacksonville Heritage Society has put into the Beekman House. A lot of people enjoyed the tours and Living History programs last summer and during Victorian Christmas and look forward to seeing it re-open." When asked about plans to reopen the House, Kingsnorth notes that everything will be contingent on both completion of the repairs and City approval. Stephanie Butlerthe Beekman House Volunteer Coordinator and trainerand I have volunteered to organize tours under City of Jacksonville auspices. Current proposals include reopening the House from 11:00am to 4:00pm on the second Saturday of July, August, and September. This would coincide with the Jacksonville cemetery tours and Jacksonville would be able to offer a History Saturday. And of course we would like to be open for Victorian Christmas. Its too late this year to offer the Living History program, but we would like to offer private group tours of the House and the Bank. As to the future of the Heritage Society, Kingsnorth said, Once the Beekman House project is completed, we will have accomplished our initial objectives. Were just glad that the Beekman House, the Beekman Bank, the Courthouse complex, and the Catholic Rectory are now in good hands.

Jacksonville Heritage Society (JHS) President, Carolyn Kingsnorth, takes pride in the new roof on Jacksonvilles historic Beekman House and describes the porch repairs that will soon be taking place. You might call this the Heritage Societys last hurrahat least where these buildings are concerned since the City now owns and manages them. Were just pleased that JHS is able to finish up these final projects and leave the buildings better than we found them. Weve had great support from the community! she emphasizes. The Jacksonville-Applegate Rotary Club has made the Beekman House the focus of their Rotary-at-Work Day for the past two years. Theyve painted portions of the Carriage House, cleaned gutters, leveled sidewalk bricks, and power-washed the picket fence. They also recruited members of Boy Scout Troop 17 for a Tom Sawyer Day of painting pickets. Then Rotary members finished the job this year after we ran out of paint last summer. Kingsnorth continues, Local artists, Warren Straus and Ray Foster made significant contributions. The Presbyterian Church shared the proceeds from their Strawberry Festival. Art Presence members donated a percentage of the sale of their Beekman House paintings. Other community members have donated cash as well as craft items that we sold at Mrs. Beekmans Christmas Bazaar. The Heritage Society also received several grants to help pay for the repairs. The City Lodging Tax Grant provided some seed money, Kingsnorth explains.

ome celebrate the Boosters Clubs 50th Anniversary on June 10 from 3:00-4:00pm in the newly-restored Peter Britt Gardens on the Britt grounds at First and Pine Streets. (Ample parking is available in the upper Britt parking lot.) The Club will have an official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the gardens, followed by speakers from the City, Boosters Club and Foundation, Britt Festivals and the JVille Garden Club. Enjoy light refreshments and music and celebrate one of Jacksonvilles most successful volunteer organizations! Founded in 1963, the Jacksonville Boosters Club is a group of civic-minded individuals who for 50 years have donated their labor, skill and funding to complete many community projects. On any given day, you will see Club members Flying the Flags on national holidays, maintaining benches located throughout the city, participating in cemetery cleanups, volunteering in parades and many other volunteer opportunities. Through its fundraising events and efforts, the Club has regularly donated funds to Jacksonville Elementary School, Food & Friends, Britt Music Festival, Jacksonville Woodlands Association and the City of Jacksonville. In addition, the Boosters Foundation, incorporated in 2003, raises funds to support the restoration, preservation, maintenance and improvement of both public and nonprofit-owned facilities. Learn more at www.jacksonvilleboosters.org. Robertson (Robbie) Collins was one of the original founders of the Jacksonville Boosters Club in 1963. Pictured here in his study, and outside of his home (now the location of South Stage Cellars winery) with his good friend Ginger Rogers, retired actress and dancer.
The restoration of Peter Britt Gardens has been a cooperative effort between The Jacksonville Boosters Club (primary sponsor), The City of Jacksonville, and the Jacksonville Garden Club. Hundreds of hours of volunteer time have been logged cleaning, pruning, installing 400 feet of ADA paved pathways, hundreds of feet of new irrigation lines, and planting of over 100 new plants which are consistent with plants included in Peter Britt's original gardens. Future phases will include plantings of hundreds of more shrubs, plants and trees as well as improved lighting for the pathways. Shown in these photos are members of the Jacksonville Boosters Club taking a break during installation of the pavers, wheel-barrowing bark dust to freshen the garden beds by the white picket fence on First and Pine streets which was installed by the Boosters, and planting crews.
In 1971, the Jacksonville Boosters Club initiated the first Jacksonville Home Tour to invite public viewing of historic Jacksonville Homes. To this day, home tours bring hundreds of visitors to Jacksonville every second (even) year. The Jacksonville Boosters Club will again host a home tour in the spring of 2014. In the 1990's the Jacksonville Boosters Club initiated the Fly the Flags program in Jacksonville. Club members continue to maintain and fly the flags every national holiday. In the early 2000's, the Jacksonville Boosters Club began holding an annual garage sale each September. It has now grown into a city-wide event which attracts hundreds of bargain hunters and visitors to Jacksonville the weekend after Labor Day each September. The Jacksonville Boosters garage sale booth is located in the Sterling Bank parking lot." See ad on page 30. Photo from the dedication ceremony of the newly-restored City Hall, June 13, 1981. The restoration was funded by the Jacksonville Boosters Club, the City of Jacksonville, and the National Parks Service under the provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Senator Mark Hatfield is the gentleman seated in the center of the photo holding a white paper. Excerpt from the speech he gave when dedicating the restored building: "You know, as I come to Jacksonville for this important event I don't think there is any accident between the fact that we are in the midst of a preservation action and that we are also in the center of a great cultural program as Peter Britt Music, Shakespeare, and so forth. There is a natural link between preserving our heritage and the beauty we have in the cultural performing arts. So I want to commend the people of Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Boosters Club, the mayor, the council, the citizens at large for giving this great jewel to the State of Oregon. Remember that many towns are old, but Jacksonville is both old and beautiful." To this day, the Jacksonville Boosters Club continues to hold it's monthly meetings in the historic Old City Hall. General meetings are held on the second Monday of each month from September-May at the Old City Hall. Light refreshments begin at 9:30am, followed by a program at 10:00am.
Boosters members volunteer in seasonal cleanups at the Historic Jacksonville Cemetery as well as the annual "Meet the Pioneers" tours which take place in the cemetery each October.

Jacksonville residents Jim and Carmen Whitlock have been in the building and design business in the Rogue Valley for 23 years and are now pleased to announce the opening of Eleglance Home Dcore. The full-service retail and interior design business is located at the northeast corner of California & 5th Street in a charming historic house at 110 N. 5th Street.

Since that time, our building, remodeling, designing and decorating businesses have served hundreds of homeowners and small offices in the Rogue Valley. With the current up-tick in building and interior design activity, Jim explains, Our timing seems right to open a boutique-style furniture and home dcore store. And, I will be able to offer our clients computer-generated drafting services for new home construction projects or remodels from the new location. A soft opening of the new store is slated in June with a Grand Opening on July 1. According to Carmen, We have been receiving shipments of quality, unique
and harder-to-find pieces of furniture and accessories on a daily basis and look forward to sharing everything with our customers from the new store. Customers will be able to purchase items off the floor or have them customized to their exact specifications. Eleglance will feature furniture and accessory lines from Drexel Heritage, Hooker Furniture, Lexington, Omnia Leather, American Elegance, Four Hands and others.

Working alongside Carmen and Jim, their daughter, Katie Palmer will help run the shop on a day-to-day basis.

get us to the hill (July 2). Plants not the only hard rocker heading our way. If you havent caught Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, its time to refresh your youtube connection. Combining Janis Jopin-esque bluster with a toughened-up Nora Jones vibe, Potter will burst into no-nonsense Memphis grooves and a touch of reggae (June 24). Speaking of reggae, the genre may be an underlying theme of the season, with Jamaican music legend Ziggy Marley joined by the Rogue Valleys own Intergalactic Reggae Revolutionaries Indubious (June 29), Michael Franti (July 6), and Rebelution/Matisyahu (August 20). For those among us seeking softer sounds, plan to be on the hill for a much awaited John Prine appearance. Prines position as a top singer/songwriter has held since the 1970s. If you only know of his compositions Have a Little Faith In Me, or Bonnie Raitts version of Angel From Montgomery, youll find this show a revelation (June 28). Another JohnJohn Hiattwriter of the infectious Bonnie Raitt hit, Thing Called Love, will treat us to his own versions of his creations that became hits for Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, B.B. King, Jimmy Buffettthe list goes on. To top off the evening, legendary rhythm and blues/ gospel singer Mavis Staples will own the stage (July 5). Oops, weve run out of spaceand we havent mentioned twin sister indie rockers Tegan and Sara (August 30), ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro (September 14) or the show were looking forward to perhaps most of all, Jeff Bridges (July 24). As for the centerpiece of the Britt Experience, the Classical Festival, well see you next month! Paula and Terry each have long impressivesounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios. Theyre now happily relaxed into Jacksonville.

City Snapshot
Land Swap Grant Approved: On May 7, the long-awaited land swap with the Motorcycle Riders Association took one step closer to becoming reality after the state Parks Commission awarded the MRA $684,000 to purchase 380 acres of land in the upper reaches of the citys 1800 acre watershed. In exchange, the city will take control of 40 acres of MRA land, including its parking lot and staging area, in the lower watershed. The transfer effectively removes motorized vehicles from the Forest Park. Although highly contentious at times, the deal solidifies the future of the Forest Park by making its hiking and mountain biking trails an exclusively non-motorized use area. The city has indicated it will place $200,000 into an account for the engineering/repair work for the dam and spillway and utilize $300,000 to pay-off the mortgage debt on the Police Station. City Council, May 7 & 21: A new 5-year lease agreement for the Brunner Building between the city and the Senior Center group operating the Thrift Shop was unanimously approved. A newly-designed gateway entrance sign on South Stage Road received a thumbs-up, pending HARC approval. When replaced, the new sign will replace a decaying wood sign and include verbiage that identifies Jacksonville as a National Historic Landmark, Home of Britt Festivals, and the Heart of Southern Oregon Wine Country. Council approved changes to the citys Personnel Manual and adopted new identity theft policies related to internal financial control mechanisms. Council reviewed Chapters 1-4 and 5-8 of the soon-to-be updated Municipal Code and offered suggested alterations. Of note: Councilors acting in the role of Liaison at the Commission and/or Committee level will no longer be voting members. On May 21, concerned resident Linda Graham read a letter during Public Comment urging the council to address what she called excessive noise emanating from the Boomtown Saloon when live music bands perform. Graham stated that unacceptable noise levels are unfair to residents, nearby lodging guests and restaurant owners who have to put up with the nuisance. Grahams letter also inferred that that a conflict of interest exists with enforcement because Jacksonville Police Chief Towes band frequently plays at the establishment. Graham concluded by calling for revising noise standards in historic brick buildings.

Random Musings
disturbing news from Josephine County and Grants Pass which reported on the significant increase in crime following the reduction in law enforcement staffing in the sheriffs department. The stories of citizens who had been robbed were bad enough, but in some cases people had been robbed more than once in one instance three times. This borders on lawlessness. Crime left unchecked leads to greater crime, increasing violence, and an unease which lies heavily upon citizens. There are two things which citizens expect from government - police and fire protection. When they break down, or are absent, the community deteriorates. We in Jacksonville are fortunate. We have a police department which is staffed with an excellent group of officers, led by a chief with years of experience who is current with law enforcement methodology and who knows many of our citizens personally. We have also been out of the mainstream of a slow but rising crime problem in other parts of the valley with the Interstate 5 corridor acting as the conduit for lawbreakers. Nonetheless, it would be unreasonable to assume that our city is immune to these problems. I grew up in a time when most houses in rural communities used skeleton keys. Sadly, those days are gone. Crime is no respecter of neighborhoods or boundary lines. When you park your car lock it. When you leave your house lock it. When you see something suspicious report it. On that note, in closing, let me draw your attention to the announcement for this months film, THE ROARING TWENTIES, which deals with a particularly lawless period in American history one written by a journalist who lived through that tumultuous era. When I look at the national headlines I sometimes wonder if history isnt repeating itself.

Chamber Chat
The agenda is a combination of handson training sessions on travel-related topics, updates on marketing initiatives at the state level and panels of industry participants sharing their experiences related to tourism. The conference provides an excellent opportunity for Jacksonville representatives to network with Travel Oregon staff, tour coordinators and industry participants. The Chamber frequently does an exhibit at this conference in order to maintain Jacksonvilles awareness level. The Welcome and Visitors Center Training Conference is attended by people who staff these centers across the state. Each year the meeting is held in a different location in order for the vc staff to increase their knowledge of the different destinations across the state. This allows for more confident referrals for travelers interested in exploring Oregon. It is also a key networking opportunity for our local staff to build relationships with her peers across the state so she can serve as a point person for inquiries about Jacksonville. SOVA is our regional travel organization which coordinates a Marketing Symposium. This meeting is an opportunity for tourism-based business owners and vc staff from the region to hear about regional initiatives, cooperative marketing plans and updates from Travel Oregon. For information on the Jacksonville Chamber, or to join, please contact the visitors center at 185 N Oregon Street, 541-899-8118 or chamber@jacksonvilleoregon.org.

A Cup of Conversation by
Michael Kell of GoodBean Coffee
s many of us are now familiar with the blogosphere of political opinion, especially Facebook, Ive concluded that pretty much no one is ever significantly moved in the way they perceive the world through a Facebook post regardless of content. On the other hand, Im certain many are estranged if not offended by a good deal of the rhetoric. Therefore, the technology to reach billions with a click has also polarized us, like exhausted little kids in a sand-box with one crying, one hitting and one sitting in the corner with a mouth full of sand and a load in the pants. Ive been breaking one of my cardinal rules by engaging in cyber-political dialog and recently on someones Facebook feed who happened to be a neighbor in our small town. I know better. In school, competitive debate desensitized me to the very real emotional side of an argument. The argument is more sport to me but not necessarily to the other guy posting his opinion. He sees me as the @#%$^& who just doesnt get it and the very reason this country is going to ^%&# . The dialog necessarily spun out of control ending in hurt feelings (theirs) and unvarnished rhetoric (mine). An important topic of the day was made quickly irrelevant by the larger issue of a mutual lack of acceptance and anothers right to opinion. I truly regret my participation in such foolishness and apologized for my part. The gesture has not been reciprocated but Im not holding my breath. If it wasnt for a business page on Facebook, Id terminate the socialnetwork site for a few reasons. Firstly, its a time-suck to the nth degree. Ive discovered parts in the day when I could be planning or in thoughtful consideration over an endless to-do list but Im defaulting to meaningless (to me) feeds about somebody elses to-do list.
Jacksonville Inn
The Rogue Valleys summer weather is here, and the 2013 Britt Season is about to begin.
Sandbox Politics
I know it doesnt sound like it but Im smarter than this. Secondly, the medium of communication in email, text and post is severely flawed and no amount of LMAO will change that. Think about it, millions of people spend billions of dollars going to relational counseling to figure out what the HECK the other is talking about and this is face-to-face communication with all the benefits of voice and facial inflection, tone, gesture plus the aid of a objective third party. Similarly, we spend megabillions in lawyers fees and arbitration to discern the true intent of meticulouslycrafted documents communicating what we really meant with the help of a highly-educated judge to light the way. So how is it possible to clearly communicate deep thought and feeling through cryptic social-network messaging to virtual friends? Somebodys going to be grossly offended intentionally or unintentionally. Its just not worth it. I could create a ghost-profile, infiltrate friends who dont recognize me and then post with abandon hiding behind a face of anonymity but thats like wearing a Batman costume in the sandbox. Sooner or later somebody is going to figure out youre really little Brucey Wayne who lives down the street and where does that leave you? Lastly, weighing the benefits of productivity and convenience through social-network mediums against the estrangement and wall-building in epidemic proportions, Ive concluded if I need my almost-worthless political opinion heard by those who agree with me, a well-written memo to my congressman should suffice. After all, one can only take so much unfriending before having to sit in the corner of the sandbox chewing on sand, chaffing hard and asking oneself why. Be Good, not bitter.

My Neighbor's Garden
usually END my column sharing the gardeners favorite spot in the garden I can sumup this months garden by sharing right up-front that with Darryll and Leigh Anne Salvadori, on California St., they had a tough time selecting...they have at least 4 favorite perfect places! Darryll and Leigh Anne have secret garden places tucked everywhere on their property and every one a special place as they have mastered the use of a garden space. Before moving from Healdsburg California, where they won Garden of the Year! in 2007, they spent 4 months looking before selecting Jacksonville. 24 trees later and planting galore, it is evident why they received that award! Darryll and Leigh Anne have a fun relationship in gardening. He is the idea guy, driven by symmetry, balance, and a 20 year vision. Leigh Anne loves color and random abandon and is addicted to filling every spot with color, happily deferring to Darryll's sense of the garden. The result is a complimentary combination with a glorious reward of color, balance, and adventure! With blank ground and a slope of retaining walls, they transformed their small lot space into secret gardens... and I do mean plural. The front garden and porch face California Street and beckon you to the entry with a dynamic sloping driveway carpeted with stone pavers that become walkways through bowles mauve, yarrow, lavender, rock rose, and layers of color. A fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs sits center, while hidden in foliage in the corner is Darryll's treasured swinging bench, a promise to his daughter. The front porch, lined with brimming tin planters, adds country cottage to their natural wood siding, and a relaxing garden world exists even before you cross a threshold! The secret garden begins when you pass under the white arbor at the end of the drive. Working around and over retaining walls and elevation changes, they created hidden pockets of color, fragrance, and privacy. Curving paths lead to beautiful roses fanned around
by Kay Faught
graceful corners. The roses are a variety of lush, deep-layered colors of carpet, bush, and climbing roses and each is perfectly placed, along a path, draping a wall or sheltering a secret. I lost touch with writing down plants, as I was held in the beauty and color, but specifically in the placement and balance of it all. The walkway is lined with layers including lilacs and trees that cover a hidden gazebo in the center. I am only 15 ft. into this garden! To the left is a scene from Darryll's Italian roots... a long bocce ball court, tucked low along the fence line. Festooned with lattice pergolas and lighting at both ends, more roses cascade the sides. A bistro table and chairs offer a viewing spot and an Italian world of bocce, wine, and conversation is born! After a practice throw, I realized I had to get back on taskthe gazebo! Their goal? Create a spot where, when sitting, you see beauty looking out, and when looking into the gazebo you see beauty all around it. Done! At the back lowest area (again tucked!) is an above-ground pool surrounded by pines and seclusion. There is a lot going on here ... walkways, a gazebo, a pool, bocce ball court, and seating and eating areas under a pergola - all perfected with symmetry, balance, and color! As I head to the other side of the home, misguidedly thinking I was done, the walkway on the side of the home is lined with planters. Around a corner, it widens to 8 feet and reveals a retired playhouse turned garden shed. In front sits a small bistro table and chairs with a carpet of tiny violas. Next, along the fence walkway, potato vine drapes and shrouds a classy 6-foot tall cage, home to the family rabbit! I could cover all the usual favorite time in the garden, place, frustrations etc. that I normally cover with each gardener, but lets get serious, their favorite time is every day and every moment they are creating in the garden. They show the joy of it all and shared a common belief in trying to make a place better than it was and leave something beautiful behind. Kay is the owner of Blue Door Garden Store, located at 155 N Third St. Specializing in paraphernalia for the home gardener; she carries garden gifts, decor, and a wide variety of pots, tools, gloves, and organic product.

To find high polyphenol olive oil you should follow the same tips I have suggested for buying extra virgin olive oillocal, seals of authenticity, harvest date and so on. While the industry buzzes with polyphenol talk, very few labels actually include this information. Since polyphenols are strongly correlated to oil intensity the strength of the bitterness and pungencyit is possible to roughly correlate mild oils with lower numbers, medium with average numbers and robust oils with higher numbers. A low number might be 80 mg/kg and a very high number could be over 600 mg/kg. The average is around 180 mg/kg. You can also look for oil made from the higher polyphenol varieties. Please note that numbers quoted by producers on websites and bottles are taken near the time of bottling, providing more of a snapshot of where the oil started out. Remember, fresh, fresh, fresh! The polyphenols act as natural preservatives in the oilgradually getting depleted as the antioxidants protect the oil. Buying fresh oil and keeping it away from the stresses of heat, light and oxygen will help you preserve the oils polyphenols. As few as 2-4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil a day have been shown to provide significant benefit. It isnt hard to think of simple and delicious ways to work olive oil into your dietif all else fails, you can follow my lead and drink it straight. You can buy polyphenol supplements that attempt to concentrate the Fountain of Youth into flavorless tablets, or you can enjoy olive oil as a fresh, natural food that brightens the skin and enhances ones diet.

took a music class in college; I thought it would be an easy, blow-off humanities class to fulfill the degree requirement. However, I learned so much and it turned out to be one of the best classes I ever experienced. I learned how instrumental music has been throughout history, it defines generations, challenges social norms, advocates change and helps us to forget, for a few moments, the stress and pressures of daily life. In an effort to guide my children towards enlightenment, I applied what I learned in that Music 101 to what theyre listening to today. With a positive, open mind I purposefully tunedout the energizing, foot tapping, booty shaking beats and I tried to analyze the lyrics without bias. Im delighted to report that I was able to decipher some very deeply philosophical messages I discerned that Justin Bieber is sharing the value of loyalty and monogamy in Boyfriend and how charming and equally annoying terms of endearments can be in Baby, baby, baby. Diddy shares a prodigal son story in Coming Home, encouraging others to learn from his promiscuous, gangsta mistakes and shares that returning to your roots is therapeutic. Rihanna reiterates the importance of always being prepared with UmbrellaElla ella ay ay ay, a valuable message for us here in the Pacific Northwest because, after all there is no bad weather in Oregon, just bad clothing. Miley Cyrus supports patriotism and encourages our kids to Party in the USA as opposed to taking the party overseas and Gangnam Style has ignited international relations or at the very least it taught my 6-year-old how to speak Korean.

filters out 93% of UV-B radiation and an SPF 30 product filters out 97%. Certainly there are products with higher SPF ratings, and UV-A protection is better at a higher SPF. Most studies, however, demonstrate application techniques, repeat applications, and early application is fundamental to better protection. Dermatologists recommend sunscreens be applied liberally, up to one ounce to cover the entire body. If continuous exposure is anticipated, sunscreens should be reapplied every couple of hours. Water-resistant varieties ought to be reapplied hourly, as it maintains its SPF level for only 40-80 minutes of water immersion. Sunscreens ought to be applied 15-30 minutes before activity, in order to develop its protective layer. Now that summer is just around the corner, get out and enjoy the weather. Remember, however, to plan your activities and dress appropriately, apply the shielding sunscreens, and seek cover regularly. The minutes spent protecting your skin now can reduce the many hazards associated with melanoma and other skin cancers.

Joyfull Living
by Louise Lavergne
ne of the big themes of the last few months has been coping with change. We experienced a powerful solar eclipse in May and many of us have been pushed into unfamiliar waters. Change is something that we tend to resist. Letting go of the familiar can stir fear and keep us trapped in limiting situations. Courage is the ability to take action when fear of the unknown wants to keep us in the confines of the familiar. I have had the opportunity to embrace change often in my life. Recently, it was not an easy decision to move out of our cozy space, tucked away, but we have moved to 135 S. Oregon Street, a beautiful, bigger space next to the Good Bean. After over 7 years, JoyFull Yoga now has the space to truly be the JoyFull Living Wellness Center, with a wide offering for your health, well-being and enjoyment. JoyFull Yoga offers classes, workshops and retreats as well as JoyFull Yoga Teacher Training. We have expanded our JoyFull Earth retail store, offering more inspirational and holistic lifestyle items for self-care, from herbal tinctures to lotions as well as crystals, art, jewelry (focused on metaphysical properties of gemstones), eco and fair trade gift items, as well as eco-clothing.

be it of fear, old attitudes, a bad relationship, worn-out beliefs, or the need for approvalfrees you. It opens you to greater possibilities. Trust propels you out of the whales throat. Now, trusting in life doesnt mean you wont suffer or be afraid; it simply means that despite these things, you know that you will be okay, because the trust is not in what might or might not happen: the trust is that you are okay whatever happens. There's an ocean of experiences out there; they won't all be fun, or easyin fact, some of them will be just plain dreadful. But through it all, you will be okay, because the okayness is inside of you. Your True Self (or God, or Spirit, or Consciousness) is there through it all. This Self was never born, and it will never die. Nothing can harm it. It is the constant that is with you and for you: it is you. Of course, you do have a choice: you can trust and let go, or you can hang on in fear. It may not feel like a choice, but it is. Just remember this: whether you live in fear or live in trust, life will go on. Given this reality, the preferable course of action seems rather obvious. Spoiler alert: Marlin does decide to let go and is blown sky-high out of the whale, coming down exactly where he needs to be. In the process, he has an incredible adventure, finds strengths he didn't know he had, makes new friends, faces his fears, has fun and finds the treasure he is seeking. Second spoiler alert: So did I. If youre holding onto something for dear life, it's probably time to take a breath... and let go. Everything really is going to be all right.

o say that the folks at Sanctuary One are committed to caring for the earth is a bit of an understatement. On any given afternoon, a stroll around the property reveals stewardship at every level: a corps of sun-hatted volunteers lovingly tending to permaculture-inspired gardens; interns diligently adding vegetable scraps, manure and other organics to compost piles, working to create healthy usable soil from materials that would otherwise be turned into waste; groups of visiting school kids enjoying up-close encounters with rescued pets and farm animals. A cistern catches rainwater for use in the garden, while a drip irrigation system throughout the property conserves as much water as possible. The streetside co-mingle recycling bin is filled with cans, glass jars and empty cereal boxes, while two newly-installed 30-gallon tubs contain itemsfrom baling twine to plastic feed bagsslated for the Plastic Roundup in the fall. And starting this month, volunteers are taking Sanctuary Ones sustainability efforts to the next level by creating homemade cleaning products for use at the farm. From herbal disinfectant to laundry powder to sink and tile cleanser, the possibilities for DIYing safe, highly-effective cleaners are practically endless. And the benefits are myriad: its yet another hands-on opportunity at Sanctuary One, and a great way for staff,

Speaking of Antiquing
with Margaret Barnes, Pickety Place Antiques
uilts arent just for cozy anymore. Quilts are an art form, a picture drawing with fabric. Quilts can depict views out kitchen windows, colorful flower gardens, landscapes, animals, and whatever one can imagine. In many towns, even ours, there is a quilt shop like Country Quilts that houses a variety of quality fabrics, interesting pattern books, and tools of the craft. You can take classes for tips on how to use a rotary cutter to how to sew a binding. Quilt making is a big business these days, but quilt making and patchwork have been popular pastimes in the United States since the 1700s. Primarily, quilts were functional blankets for warmth when needed. Fabric was scarce so women made do with what they had. Old clothing and feed sacks became a large part of a typical quilt. Women traded their fabrics with friends and neighbors and combined pieces in colorful arrangements and pretty patterns that have become a heritage of sorts. Embellishments were added in the form of embroidery, stitches typical of the Crazy Quilts. Truly historic quilts have found their way into museum and private collections. Quilts from past centuries are being sought for their charm, beauty, and uniqueness. You might have a fragile quilt that a grandmother or aunt made that has become a family heirloom. If you keep it in a trunk, chest, or closet, be sure you take it out once in a while to air it out. Wrap it in cotton, linen or acid-free paper, never plastic. Fold it differently each
time you put it away so the fabric doesnt deteriorate at fold lines. Instead of folding in the usual halves and quarters, bring the corners to the center to form a diamond shape, then fold the bottom and top to meet in the middle and halve again. If you want to display a quilt on a rack, employ the same tactic of folding it differently to alleviate stress to the folds. Hanging a quilt on a wall is a bold statement, be it a new quilt or an old one. Do not use nails or pins through the fabric as this will cause much damage. Simply sew or tack a sleeve or loops for a hanging dowel or cord. Clamping devices work very well also. Collectors of quilts look at the construction, motif, and style. Most desirable is the all hand-made quilt. Piecing is hand-stitched with small stitches, and quilted typically 8-11 stitches per inch. Hundreds of books and many internet sites are available for pattern and fabric identification. Many fabrics have been reproduced from the Civil War-era to the Depression-era so be careful you are not finding an old pattern made up in new old fabrics. These might be obvious by the weave and texture. Old homespun muslins were a much thicker and looser weave than the muslin we have now. Muslins were typically bleached as opposed to the unbleached that are widely used today. At Pickety Place, we have quilts and quilt tops for you to add to your collections and invite you to stop by and get acquainted. See ad this page.

Dale Grover OHarra, 95, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on April 17, 2013 at Providence Medford Medical Center. He was born October 8, 1917 in Gering, Nebraska and traveled as a small boy with his family, settling in Ashland, Oregon. He graduated from Ashland High School in 1936. A celebration of life was held at the US Hotel Ballroom in Jacksonville on April 27, 2013. Interment was at the Mountain View Cemetery in Ashland. He worked in the Ashland area as a car mechanic and later as a carpenter. He also worked at Boeing in Seattle, Washington. In January, 1943, he joined the Army Air Corps as a Private 1st Class, serving in WW II in the European Theatre based out of Venosa, Italy. He flew 35 missions as a Flight Engineer in a B-24, the Liberator. He served honorably for two years, nine months and 11 days, mustering out of the military with a rank of Tech Sergeant in 1945. On February 14, 1942, he married his beloved Olive Carrie Hill in Seattle. They were happily married for 66 years. She preceded him in death in 2008. In 1954, while employed at Bellevue Lumber Company in Ashland, he was approached to see if he had an interest in buying a lumber company in Jacksonville, Oregon. He subsequently bought the Jacksonville Lumber Company and
JacksonvilleReview.com
as of this spring, had owned it for 59 years. Until recently, he went to work on a daily basis and remained active in daily operations. Many deep, lasting friendships have developed over the years with staff, customers, suppliers and the community. He was a member of the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce and received the Golden Award for Outstanding Community Support. In 1995, with his wife Olive, he became a Disciple of the Lord through intensive Bible studies. He was a member of the United Methodist Church of Medford, Oregon. Dale was the proud owner of a 1929 Model A and a member of the Rogue Valley Model A Club. Dale was a very gentle, kind man who loved his family and his many friends. He always thought the best of whomever he met. He loved Trail Blazer basketball, Mariner and Giants baseball and 49ers football. He also enjoyed playing card games and dominoes. Survivors include son Dale, and his wife, Marilyn, of Belmont, California; daughter, Shannon Pearce, and her husband, Gary of Portland, Oregon; and two granddaughters, Erin and Lindsey Pearce, of Seattle. He is also survived by a brother, Robert OHarra of Phoenix, Oregon and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. He will be greatly missed by all of his many loved ones and friends, but will always remain alive in their hearts. Shannon Pearce asked the Review to note that the family plans to continue operating the Jacksonville Lumber Company as-is.
