ugust has
been such
an exciting
month on the
Britt hill, and we
have much more
to look forward to, as summer extends
into September. We are fresh off of an
exciting Classical Festival, and I hope you
were able to join Teddy Abrams and the
Britt Orchestra during their three weeks
of music-making. The musicians of our
orchestra, along with the wonderful
singers from the Rogue Valley Chorale,
Southern Oregon Repertory Singers and
San Francisco Girls Chorus, delivered a
beautiful and memorable Opening Night
concert when they performed the dramatic
Carmina Burana in hot, smoky weather.
The music-making continued through
the Rite of Spring, the world premiere
song cycle Bull Frogs Croon with
Aoife ODonovan and Jeremy Kittel,
a wonderful Symphony Pops with
Morgan James, all the way through to the
Orchestra Showcase concert that closed
the season. The Britt Orchestra members
come from all over the country each year,
and many consider Jacksonville their
second home. Thanks to all of you who
welcomed them into your homes and
businesses, and to all who make the Britt
Classical Festival such a special experience.

Now located behind Courthouse!
City Snapshot
City Council, August 4In his staff
report, City Administrator Jeff Alvis
stated that an $8500 painting contract for
the Miller House had been awarded to
Chris Sylva Painting. Part of the rationale
to spruce-up the city-owned property,
he noted, includes needed maintenance
as well as getting the property ready for
possible sale in the event city offices move
to the Courthouse and the property is
placed on the market. Alvis also reported
that Celeste Dyson, Planning Department
Tech, had tendered her resignation
effective September 11 due to her husband
accepting a new job in Portland. The city,
he said, is working with RVCOG on ideas
for managing the department which
at this writing is short-staffed. In July,
Planning Director Amy Stevenson left her
post, leaving the future leadership and
management of the department uncertain.
Gary Penning and Laura Leebrick of
Rogue Disposal and Recycling presented
the case for a $2/month rate increase for
residential and green waste customers.
Afterward, Council approved the increase,
the first since 2008. With the increase,
Jacksonvilles 500 customers still pay less
than other communities including Ashland,
Eagle Point and Shady Cove.
Councilors Wall, Gregg and Mayor
Becker praised Britt Festivals Executive
Director Donna Briggs for taking swift
action to lessen fire danger from patrons
smoking near the venue during extreme
conditions. Britt took action, posting NO
SMOKING signs around the pavilion and
also posted the following statement on its
website and elsewhere: Due to the extreme
fire danger this season, Britt is taking
a preventative approach to fire safety,
and has made the decision to prohibit

represents a great opportunity for the
business community to increase its
efficiency and its cohesion. The newlymerged organization will be named
the Jacksonville Oregon Chamber of

Board members from both organizations

That committee will be chaired by the

JOBA was formed five years ago as a

attracting visitors to Jacksonville. They
have run ads in the OSF playbill and the
Ashland Walk-About Guide to target
an audience that has already proven
its ability and willingness to travel to
Southern Oregon. They have also coadministered the Jacksonville Oregon

tarting new

can be daunting, whether its the sheer
size of the task or knowing that starting
something is going to be a long and timeconsuming commitment.
Projects around the house and
specifically yard projects linger in our
mindssome get done but others
just remain an idea, a dream waiting
to happen. Ive worked with many
people over the years and have found
common themes, patterns, and responses
to landscape projects that have been
completed. Common thoughts include, I
wish we had done this a long time ago,
and We are going to spend so much
more time outside now!
With this in-mind, maybe its time to:

A Cup of Conversation
by Michael Kell
watched ESPNs
Arthur Ashe
Courage Award
presentation
honoring Bruce
Jenner. The Arthur Ashe Award is named
after the iconic tennis star, a man of color
in a once traditionally white sport. Arthur
was a magnificent athlete and like Bruce
found his identity on the courts of fierce
competition and public opinion. Arthur
used his high-profile to battle apartheid
in South Africa, defend
human-rights of Haitian
refugees and pioneer
awareness of the AIDS
epidemic. After the
presentation, I found a
video of Arthurs last
public address before he
succumbed to an AIDS
related pneumonia in
1993. Arthur was 49.
One doesnt have
to keep up with the
Kardashians to know
Bruce is a touchy
subject. The drama is
deeply personal and highly sensitive
for Jenners six adult children, mother,
sister, ex-wives, and close friends but also
uncomfortable for everyone watching
which is pretty mucheveryone (except
business hucksters making a killing). Like
everyone I have an opinionbut nothing
apt to change anybodys mind in six
hundred words. Plainly, there's a misery
in Bruce so deep it takes my breath away.
No amount of great publicity, hormone
therapy, or expensive makeup can cover
up that kind of pain and theres no
question about the steely nerve required
for a man like Jenner to stand in front of
the world metaphorically naked...but a
national hero? This is where my silence
ends because sooner or later someone in
the hypnotic, standing ovation crowd has
to point out the emperor has no clothes. I
look at Jenner without scorn, only weary
numbness from the incessant haranguing
of a politically-engineered tent collapsing
under its own weight.
Courage is sacrificial like the warrior
returning from battle without limbs or
light in his eyes. The men and women
answering the call of duty then learning
again to walk, think, speak and live
in the most basic of ways are the truly
courageous and deserving heroes. The
daily struggle to rebuild life within the
walls of a modest home is the real reality

show that doesnt sell. I ask myself how
many people know the suicide rates of
returning veterans because they receive
not one millionth of the collective empathy
Jenner is getting for cross-dressing in
public. The fact we are even having this
inane conversation is a late-stage symptom
of systemic cultural meltdown.
I dont think the relatively few ringmasters who greatly profit from poor
souls paraded in cable circus sideshows
want to engage in honest conversation
about courage and
virtue. They would
look clownish
standing next to the
flag-draped coffins
rolling in at Dover
Air Base, or marching
alongside Dr. King in
the 1960s, or logging
time with family
caregivers of severely
wounded veterans.
For Jenner, at sixtysomething, beloved,
healthy, wealthy,
and over-privileged,
sacrificing the final decade of his secret
life for the sake of family was clearly
out of the question. Certainly it is not in
goosestep with the deny oneself nothing
twenty-first century adaption of vanity
fair; not the magazine but the three-hundred
thirty-seven year-old namesake (look it up).
When the tent stakes of reason get this
loose, the big top historically comes
crashing down and the Bank of Reality
calls the debt on the whole show. We
can't pay it and thats called cultural
bankruptcy. What comes next is always
severely unpleasant.
Most are willing to call Bruce, a man of
my generation, Caitlyn. Many are willing
to show compassion for a brand of pain
not easily understood. More than we
think are willing to withhold judgement
on a thread of society tugging hard at
the entire fabric of a universal tapestry.
However, Im not willing to call Caitlyn
a heroby any narcissistic stretch of the
word. It greatly insults those who have
earned our respect, gratitude and support.
The greatest irony is something tells me
Arthur Ashe would be the first to agree.
Michael is a coffee entrepreneur and
sometimes author living in the Pacific
Northwest with his lovely wife, Mary. For

Aaron Willaims, DO
helps me stay on top of their needs. Ive also developed a
relationship with coaches, which makes it easier for all of
us to work together to keep these kids on the field.
As the programs success continues, theres a
possibility for continued expansion.
We are hoping to discuss this type of program with
other schools and sports programs in Jackson County,
Mendelson said. Providence in southern Oregon is
developing an outstanding sports medicine program and
were excited to share it. See Providence ad on page 5.

Hope
your
summer went
wellmine
was hindered
greatly by the
heat and smoke that plagued the Valley
these past months. Fewer long walks, no
rides in the carmade for a pretty boring
time, let me tell you.
Somy mom took
pity on me one day, and
decided to drive me to
Squaw Lake (out past
Applegate Lake). This was
brave on many fronts: the
drive is long, weve never
been there before, and Im
known as the Un-Golden!
Un-Golden means I dont
retrieve balls, prefer
running in circles in my
own yard to walks, and dont swim!
BUTMom decided I needed an outing,
and that surely I would swim now
The drive was fine until we reached the
last five milesa windy, dirt, washboard

After Rogue Disposal & Recycling picks up your household
trash at the curb, it begins a process you can be proud
to be a part of. The trash is taken to Dry Creek Landfill,
and as the organic material in the waste decomposes,
it creates methane gas. That methane is captured and
carefully channeled to our Gas-to-Energy plant, where
generators produce enough electricity to power 3,000
homes for an entire year. This is just one of the many
community conscious, environmentally friendly programs
brought to you by Rogue Disposal & Recycling.
