"Spring Aglow"Steve Bennett

Last month, I had a 5-day hall pass to get out of town with my wife, Jo. Our trip to the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show was primarily a jewelry buying trip for Jos in-town shop, but since I have family in Arizona, it also provided a chance for a visit and unexpectedly, to gain some new perspective on life.

Rewind one weekthe February issue was rolling off the presses and included this columnMy Viewabout the City of Jacksonvilles priorities. It was written knowing it might offend some readers...and leaders. As a publisher, not everyone will agree with you all of the timeif ever. In this line of work, if you cant take criticism, find a new line of work! After penning that piece, I had my game face on but was also a bit stressed-out as to its possible ramifications.

In Tucson, we stayed the week with my stepmother, Sandy, in her lovely home. After long days at the trade show, going home in the evening was as enjoyable as was the sunshine, 80 degree temperatures and home-cooked meals. Despite being physically away from the 97530, my mind was never far from homethanks to my email, text and Facebook tethering device!

My lesson on perspective began the first night around the dinner table with a reminder that life is short and

unpredictable. You see, Sandy has been battling ovarian cancer for several years. Never one to complain, she understands and can explain her condition better than her oncologist. Shes accepted that her days are numbered, despite not knowing when that day will come. In the meantime, she lives an incredibly active life, dotes over her family like a mother hen, has a rich social life, exercises daily, volunteers and participates in community activitiesand gives back, big time. Shes one of the most inquisitive people Ive known, a trait that served her well as a middle school math teacher for 40 years. For her, its all about other people and what she can do for themnot what they can do for her, despite her serious medical condition.

The next morning around the breakfast table, Jo and I were busily checking email and returning phone calls when I caught a glimpse of Sandy getting ready to leave for her weekly chemo appointment. Just then, a few emails popped-on-screen including one from a reader whod sent a youre an idiot note about My View and another from a prospective ad client who was no longer a prospect. After relaying the news to Jo, I gestured across the room at Sandy and then exclaimed, Hey, it isnt cancer!

Heres wishing you and yours health, happiness and perspective in Our Small Town with Big Atmosphere!

Over the holidays, Ashland Partners located on the Bigham Knoll Campus stepped-up with another generous donation of $6658 for Access, Inc. According to partner Ritchie Kemmling, this years donations were generated by using some interesting and creative methods. For example, Ashland Partners employees raised money with homemade cookie baskets, with all ingredients donated and baked from scratchover 60 baskets were sold, netting $1000 for Access. Employees also donated some of their extra time off into an auction which raised another $3000. Another creative money-maker was an internal employee directory photo and ring tone swap-out, wherein for a $5 donation, an employee

could change-out a co-workers directory photo or ringtoneone partner raised $300 by switching-out his co-workers photos with Simpsons characters! All fundraising was done in good fun and purposefully for this worthwhile program including an additional $1000 donation from the partners.

ACCESS is a Jackson County non-profit organization that strives to better peoples lives through assisting with the essentials of life, such as food and shelter to name a few. The much-needed resources are distributed among low income families, including children and seniors, as well as people with disabilities.

Chef Kristen Lyon (on left) is no stranger to local foodies. The 36-year-old chef and entrepreneur first emerged on the local food scene, making a name for herself working at the McCully House.

When I moved to Ruch ten years ago, it introduced me to the extensive range of locally-sourced food products available right here in the Rogue Valley. Today, Kristen is now on a first-name basis with dozens of local farmers and a rancherrelationships the young chef says is an integral part of her business and its success. The goal and essence of my business is providing healthy, convenient, locally-sourced food.

That business is Meals-to-Go, a food preparation and distribution service focused on supplying prepared and packaged, ready-to-eat food to customersall with an emphasis on quality ingredients.

During any given week, Lyon prepares and distributes a variety of pre-packaged dishes including, chicken pot pies, lasagna, quiches, soups, sauces, bone broths, pizza dough, casseroles, salads, and more. My average customer uses my Meals-to-Go service to replace 2 or 3 home cooked meals per week or to help supplement parts of their home-cooked meals. In the coming year, offerings will increase to include a variety of new sauces, ketchup, mustard, dips, spreads, wild mushrooms and lots of fermented items such as sauerkraut.

Staring early this summer, locals will be able to pick-up Chef Kristens offerings at the Jacksonville Farmers Market. Ive been able to expand my business thanks to being joined by Gillian Gifford (on right above), a Seattle-trained culinary chef who just joined Meals-to-Goshes helping develop the product line for the Farmers Market as well as helping expand the existing business.

As to her own training, Lyon says shes a self-taught chef, with no formal culinary educationmy passion is using local produce and meats and letting the flavor speak for itself. As a minimalist, Lyon avoids cooking any Meals-to-Go offerings with more ingredients than necessary, preferring instead to let the goodness shine through. Shes particular in selecting ingredients for her prepared meals, using organic ingredients as often as possible and avoiding the use of any chemical preservatives, nitrates, colorings, dyes or artificial flavoring. Its not unusual to find her at farm stands or farmers markets hunting down the freshest produce possible.

Dishes offered through Meals-to-Go may be pre-ordered and specially prepared for those with dietary restrictions, such as using little or no salt in the preparation.

Kristen notes, I select only pastured meats from local ranchers and farmers I know by first nameall is grass-fed livestock and the veggies are the freshest aroundand you can actually taste the essence of where the food was raised in the meal. Much like the influence of terroir on the grapes used in making a wine, Lyons prepared meals are a reflection of local culinary terroir and reflect the landscape, literally. One thing that my clients tell me over and over again is that they really enjoy eating foods that are not overly-processed and that they can taste the difference. I guess they are really validating my emphasis on using as few ingredients as necessary and only using the best in-season foods. As an example, Lyons yummy Macaroni & Cheese, prepared using Rogue Creamery cheeses and organic pasta, contains 6 ingredients, whereas a typical off-the shelf, store-bought brand contains dozens of ingredients, some natural and some not-so-natural.

Lyons growing Meals-to-Go operation is centered here in downtown Jacksonville out of a commercial kitchen in the JoyFull Yoga building, next to Good Bean Coffee. Lyons customers receive a menu with several suggestions via email each week from which they choose and order the items. The customers response order is then simply emailed back with a confirmation and a pre-determined time and date for customer pick-up. All food items are either frozen or oven-ready and come with handy baking and/or cooking instructions. Lyon is happy to accommodate close-by home deliveries of her Meals-to-Go for a $6 up-charge, as well. To view this weeks menu selections, please visit www.chefkristen.com.

Carolyn Philpott, Branch Manager125 E. California StreetJacksonville, Oregon 97530541.899.1861

On February 4, U.S. Bank in Jacksonville held a celebration to mark their 50th-anniversary of its grand opening in the historic U.S. Hotel at 125 E. California Street. Jacksonville residents visiting the branch were treated to refreshments and an historical display of photos and memorabilia.

The branch opened on January 16, 1965 with great fanfare and media attention, attracting Hollywood celebrities and state legislators. Thousands of people lined the streets to see the festivities and take a tour of the branch. For many years afterward, the branch was featured in western films and television shows.

U.S. Banks history in Oregon began with the formation of the U.S. National

Bank of Oregon in Portland in 1891. With the purchase of the Medford Farmers and Growers Fruit Market Bank in 1940, the bank officially expanded to the southern Oregon region. Now with branches in every county, U.S. Bank continues its prominent role as a leader in the financial sector of Oregon.

U.S. Bank is honored to do business in Jacksonville and to celebrate our long history of serving this community, said Gloria Schell, regional president for U.S. Bank in Southern Oregon and Northern California. She adds, We are very proud to play an important role in the ongoing economic growth of our region and enjoy our role as a business advocate and community steward.

The Unfettered Criticby Paula Block Erdmann & Terry Erdmann

Look what theyve done to my song.

British singer/songwriter Sam Smith is either a very lucky guyor not quite so. Smith reached the top of the charts last

year with his soulful composition, Stay With Me. Then, just a few weeks ago at the 2015 Grammy Awards, the tune was named both Song of the Year and Record of the Year. Not bad for a newcomer, eh?

But it wasnt all beer and skittles (thatd be wine and roses in U.S. slang) for Sam. A few days before the Grammy presentation, his name popped into the news as the press reported a bit of a kerfuffle regarding his success. The heart-rending chorus of Stay With Me sounds a lot like the melody of Tom Pettys 1989 hit I Wont Back Down. After Pettys people approached Smiths people about the similarities, everyone agreed that Petty (and Jeff Lynne, co-writer on I Wont Back Down) deserved credit on Smiths song (and a percentage of its royalties). The legal settlement was remarkably peaceful, with both sides agreeing that Smith didnt steal the melody. Smith noted that hed never heard the Petty record. Hed innocently picked the same melody out of the musical air.

Really? The exact same melody? How could such a thing happen?

In fact, it happens all the time.When you get right down to the real

nitty-gritty, writing a musical melody isnt much different from writing a phone number. We dont claim that a phone number can make someone cry, or fall in love, or march into battle the way a melody can. But, mathematically, the two entities have very similar beginnings.

Phone numbers are composed by arranging or rearranging a choice of ten individual digits (i.e., zero through nine). Vocal melodies are composed by arranging or rearranging a choice of about twenty-five or so notes, the extent of the average humans vocal range. Thats roughly the middle third of a pianos keyboard. Since the birth

of pop, those same few notes have been arranged and rearranged until almost every combination is recognizable to some portion of the listening public. Songwriters cant help but sometimes dial the wrong number.

So whats a recording artist who doesnt want to experience a Sam Smith moment to do? One answer is to be very careful (and perhaps employ a producer who possesses a long musical memory). But weve noticed an alternate trend that we like a lot. More and more artists are recording older, classic rock and pop

songs. And theyre rearranging those classics so that they feel almost like new compositions. This practice pleases the original artist and composer, it pleases the audience thats familiar with the original work, and it engages the current youthful audience hungry for new tunes. Thats good news all around,

because recently weve heard some wonderful new old music flowing from our radio. For example:

The Tedeschi Trucks Bandwhich, happily, has performed locally at the Britt several timesdoes a rocking arrangement of the l969 hit Everybodys Talkin that reminds us of why we want to see them again. American vocalist T.V. Carpio has recorded a slow, beautiful version of the Beatles early (1964) rocker, I Want To Hold Your Hand. Folk and jazz singer John Shannon has created a rendition of Paul Simons iconic (1989) Graceland that makes us want to dance. Jazz/pop vocalist (and Britt alumni) Jamie Cullums version of The Animals 1964 Dont Let Me Be Misunderstood feels so current that one wonders how it could have been born so long ago.

Musically, it almost seems as though everything old is new again. And that sounds perfect to us.

Paula and Terry each have long impressive-sounding resumes implying that they are battle-scarred veterans of life within the Hollywood studios. Theyre now happily relaxed into Jacksonville.

At the February 5th Classical Festival Announcement, Music Director Teddy Abrams promised an epic season, and after hearing about it, we believe him! Not only is Teddys enthusiasm infectious, his programming is diverse, bold and inspiring. The 2015 Britt Classical Festival lineup is already generating an energetic buzz around town, thanks, in large part, to Teddys community-mindedness and inclusive nature.

If you have not heard what the talk about town is yet, the Britt Orchestra will perform seven orchestral concerts this season, starting big on Friday July 31st. Big as in: over 250 performers gracing the Britt stage to present the amazing cantata, Carmina Burana. A chorus of upwards of 160 voicesincluding the Southern Oregon Repertory Singers, the Rogue Valley Chorale and members of the San Francisco Girls Choruswill join our 90-piece orchestra for this magnificent, frank and uninhibited work made up of medieval poems set to music by the German composer Carl Orff (1895-1982). According to Teddy, this cantata is satirical, fun, complex and dramatic.

The season will also feature the first Britt performance of Stravinskys epic The Rite of Spring, a folk-inspired set featuring fiddler Jeremy Kittel and vocalist Aoife ODonovan, Teddys own Sixth Floor Trio, the return of violinist

James Ehnes on Barbers Violin Concerto, an all-Bernstein Symphony Pops concert featuring the Broadway and recording artist Morgan James, and an all-orchestral program on closing night, celebrating our wonderful Britt Orchestra.

With this innovative, spontaneous and fresh programming, Britt is embarking on new marketing strategies to increase

cultural tourism aimed at broadening the geographic reach of the classical festival. Fully supportive of these efforts, the Britt Board of Directors has allocated a new investment in marketing that we will use to begin reaching

into the San Francisco area, and increase our efforts in the Portland area. We will be targeting music lovers in a myriad of ways, from targeted ad buys to cultivation events, in hopes of introducing our historic Jacksonville and our wonderful Britt venue to new tourists and patrons.

Recently, I was speaking with an orchestra host and he told me that he felt something more than music was happening around our classical festivalsomething powerful and meaningful to our communityin remarkable ways yet to be realized.

Tickets are now on sale to the general public and available for purchase by visiting our website at www.brittfest.org or by calling the Box Office at 541-773-6077.

Epic Season Coming to theBritt Classical Stage

This summer, beginning on July 26, about 100 musicians will descend on Jacksonville. Theyre all members of some of the countrys leading orchestras and come to town to be part of the annual three-week-long Britt Classical Festival. Many of them stay here in Jacksonville, where 41 local families open their hearts and homes to them as host families.

If you would like to know more about hosting a Britt musician and meet some of those who make the Classical Season happen, please join us for an Open House at South Stage Cellars on Tuesday, March 24 from 5:00-6:30pm. Please R.S.V.P. to Britt Classical Housing Coordinator Vivienne Grant at 541-702-2274 or [email protected].

Here in Jacksonville, Mac and Peggy Peffley have been part of the home host program for many years now. In describing their experience they say, When we originally decided to host Britt Classical musicians, we thought it would be a way to learn more about the classical season and give back to the community. As it turned out, we have made many close friends and the couple we host at the moment is just like family. Many of the musicians and their host families have similar relationships, with both eagerly looking forward to the summer festival.

The appointment of Teddy Abrams as Musical Director last year has given

Britt a new momentum. His contagious enthusiasm and commitment to both the Classical Festival and Jacksonville is phenomenal. Teddy is using his extensive musical connections to bring new, outstanding musicians into the

Orchestra. Now all they need is a home-away-from-home for three weeksso Britt is looking for more hosts, especially from families who live in Jacksonville. The program asks hosts to provide just a few simple amenities for their musician guest: a private room with bathroom access, space to practice, use of laundry facilities and refrigerator space

for food. There is no obligation to feed or entertain the musicians. They are all independent adults who can take care of themselves. In return for their hospitality, Britt offers hosts some special thanks. Locals Don and Linda DeWald put it this way, We became a host family simply to support Britt, so we were surprised and delighted at all the unexpected perks we received. In addition to the memorable experience of knowing a musician up close and personal, came free attendance at special social gatherings with other host families and musicians, free Britt Classical tickets, a tax deduction, and more. Through the hosting program we have met new friends. For us, it has been as exceptional experience not to be missed.

Digging Jacksonville Artifacts 5: Medicine Bottles from the Booker House

Sarah Lind is a senior at Southern Oregon University majoring in anthropology. Her emphasis is archaeology, and through SOULA she has been able to become involved and engaged with local historical archaeology. Sarah has been researching the Booker House for her senior thesis the past two years, working closely with Carol Knapp to analyze and preserve the Booker House collection. You can reach SOULA by contacting Chelsea Rose at [email protected] and follow SOULA on facebook/Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology.

by Sarah Lind

The Booker House was built in 1880 and is a contributing resource to Jacksonvilles National Historic Landmark District. The house is currently owned by long-time Jacksonville resident Carol Knapp, who contacted Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology (SOULA) in 2009 in preparation for renovations to her historic home. Carol worked in conjunction with SOULA archaeologists throughout the construction process, and donated the large artifact assemblage so that it could be studied.

Over the past several years, Carol has continued to be a careful steward of her archaeological site, and recorded the location of the more than 1,000 items now stored at the SOULA lab. Of these, two have been selected for this article: one is a complete Bromo-Seltzer bottle, and the other is a container of Dr. B.S. Hunts Domestic Corn Cure, with some of the original contents intact. These artifacts were chosen to highlight the medicinal practices of the time, as well as some of the consumer practices and types of ailments.

Bromo-Seltzer bottles are relatively common in 19th and 20th century archaeology sites across the nation. Bromo-Seltzer has been manufactured by the Emerson Drug Company of Baltimore, Maryland since the late 1800s. Sodium bromide is the main ingredient, and it is to be dissolved in water in the appropriate dosage, creating a sort of seltzer; hence the name Bromo-Seltzer. It was historically marketed as a cure for headaches, stomachaches, and even hangovers. This particular artifact is a mouth-blown, dark blue cobalt glass bottle. The mouth-blown bottles were manufactured between 1890 and 1911. Bromo-Seltzer was a popular

consumer home remedy, due in-part to its incredibly-effective marketing. In fact, Bromo-Seltzer is still available today, though not widely. It is now marketed as an antacid and is no longer sold in the cobalt blue bottles.

Dr. B.S. Hunts Corn Treatment originated in Tawawa, Ohio, with a laboratory in Sidney, Ohio. This particular artifact was found in the attic of the Booker House in well-preserved condition. Inside the wooden container is a small corked vial made of colorless glass with the word DOMESTIC imprinted upon the side, and 129 on the base, which holds the remnants of the corn treatment. On the wooden container are

the directions for use of the corn treatment, indicating that with use new, softer skin may start to form within one week with use of the product.

Both of these artifacts indicate the availability of consumer goods for medicinal purposes and home treatment of mild ailments. Successful marketing enabled the spread of consumer goods across the country throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Although Jacksonville was relatively isolated from large

commercial centers, residents were still participating in the wider consumer trends seen across America. On a more personal level, the presence of these artifacts indicates that a member of a family who lived in the house may have had a headache or sore foot, and sought treatment with one of these remedies. Through artifacts like these, archaeology allows us to not only to learn about the past in general, but also connect with specific individuals living in early 20th century Jacksonville.

This project was made possible with funding from Carol Knapp.

Pioneer Profiles:Jeremiah Nunan An Irish Success Story

by Carolyn Kingsnorth

In the mid-1800s, the promise of gold and free land lured fortune seekers and settlers to the newly-formed Oregon Territory. They were soon followed by merchants who amassed their own wealth selling supplies to the miners and farmers. This ongoing series shares the stories of these pioneers and their times.

Since March 17th celebrates St. Patrick and all things Irish, it seems appropriate for this months Pioneer Profiles to feature Jeremiah Nunan, one of Jacksonvilles Irish pioneers. Most people associate Nunans name with his elaborate Queen Anne style home on North Oregon Street, one of the towns most photographed historic landmarks. But there is more to Jeremiah Nunans story than a house.

Nunan, called Jerry by his friends, was born in Ireland around 1843. The whole family immigrated to America probably during the Great Famine years of 1845 to 1852 when blight ravaged Irelands potato crops, the sole source of sustenance and income for two-fifths of the population.

Like many young men, Nunan heard the call of the West, reaching Jacksonville in 1865. After looking around, he decided to open a saddlery shop in competition with Henry Judge. However, Judge and Nunan soon became good friends. And it was through Judge that Nunan met his future wife, Delia OGrady.

Many stories have been told about Nunan and Judge marrying Irish sisters who were mail order brides. However, Delia and her older sister Anna had emigrated from Ireland with their family, settling in Oakland, California, where Judge met and married Anna. Henry and Anna already had four children when Anna introduced Jeremiah to Delia. Jeremiah and Delia were soon married by Father Blanchett at St. Josephs Catholic Church on June 3, 1872.

Shortly afterwards, Nunan and Judge became partners in the saddlery and harness business, selling and repairing harnesses, halters, horse collars, saddles,

and black snake whips. The partnership lasted three years before Judge decided to move his family back to San Francisco. When Judge returned in 1878, Nunan sold him the business in order to seek some

business with less confinement.

By 1881, Nunan was dealing in general merchandise and apparently quite successful. Various 1882 Democratic Times newspaper articles reported that, J. Nunans goods are arriving in reckless profusion; that

Nunans store was running over with a superior assortment of general merchandise; and that J. Nunan has just received one of the largest and best stocks of goods ever brought to Southern Oregon and is too busy attending to customers to write an advertisement.

However, Nunan was not so busy as to neglect his civic responsibilities. In 1876 he was elected a town trustee and by 1881 was serving as city

recorder and as police judge where he gained a reputation as the terror of evil doers. He also was one of the incorporators of the Jacksonville Branch of the O. & C. Railroad, the towns initial effort to connect Jacksonville with the main railroad line being laid through the valley.

Nunans thriving mercantile business also allowed him to invest in other holdings. He

purchased property, acquired agricultural land and stock, and laid claims to several quartz mines, becoming President of the Jacksonville Milling and Mining Company. He also sold fire insurance, resident agent for the wealthiest and most reliable fire insurance companies on the coast.

Focus on Hanley Farm byEmma Abby, Educational Programs Coordinator

Spring Comes to the Farm

Our days are finally feeling longer as spring begins to show herself at the Farm. The field of daffodils greets us under the front walnut trees and green buds abound. The Volunteer Garden is actively taking shape as we tenderly care for over 200 heritage plants that were recently transplanted and potted for our annual Plant Sale on May 9-10.

Daisy Creek Farm, in its 4th year of managing the no-till vegetable gardens by the 19th century barn, is active and fully geared-up for the 2015 season. The Family Nurturing Center now leads a large part of the vegetable garden and is busy preparing beds and planting. Rows of garlic are already tall and vibrant, along with onions and hardy greens. With much anticipation, baby lambs are on their way! Come June, Hanley Farm produce will be available at the Sunday Jacksonville Farmers Market on the courthouse lawn.

March 1st marks the start of the season for the Hanley Farm Community Garden plots. Each 10 X 20 plot is leased annually to individual community members through a longstanding partnership with Central Point Parks and Recreation. These plots are visible from Hanley Road, right in front of the barn and next to the new Monarch Butterfly Waystation.

Volunteers have been working hard to create a new outdoor exhibit area. All the antique farm equipment that was once scattered around the Farm is now lined up for easy viewing and protected from overgrowth. The nine pieces of equipment will each be dated and identified with

new informational signage. The new arrangement allows for better maintenance and preservation work. The community has shown great interest in these antique treasures, and we hope this will further

educate and intrigue, as well as extend the lifespan of these outdoor artifacts.

Did you know we offer private group tours of the farm, as well as private group tours inside the Hanley House Museum? With a minimum of twelve participants, tours can be tailored to meet the needs of your group. For further details, please email [email protected].

We have a full line-up of events for 2015. For more information about Hanley

Farms upcoming events, please visit us online at www.hanleyfarm.org or www.sohs.org; call 541-773-6536 x 202; and LIKE our Hanley Farm Facebook page.

Hanley Farm, owned and operated by the Southern Oregon Historical Society, is located at 1053 Hanley Road, between Jacksonville and Central Point.

Avoiding Stagnation

For information on the Jacksonville Chamber, or to join, please contact the visitors center at 185 N. Oregon Street, call the office at 541-899-8118 or email [email protected]. Visit the Chamber website at JacksonvilleOregon.org.

Chamber Chatby Tim Balfour, PresidentJacksonville Chamber of Commerce

Twice recently, the topic of stagnation in a business or business community has been raisedin discussions with a representative from the Oregon Main Street program and with a former Jacksonville business owner. The retired business owner referred to an article called, The Seven Steps to Stagnation.

The article got me thinking about how we are doing in Jacksonville. The turnover in shops and eateries is minimal and businesses seem to be busy. But how long will this last? Are we entering a period of stagnation? Any entity has to change in order to survive, so I thought it was a good idea to share it with you!

Here is the Seven Steps to Stagnation, as written by Erwin Soukup. Helpful follow-up questions/responses are in italics:

1. Weve never done it that way before! (is there a reason it hasnt been done that way before, is there a reason it cant or shouldnt be done that way?)

2. Were not ready for that! (why arent we ready for that, what needs to happen before we are ready?)

3. We are doing all right without trying that! (do we need to try new things in order to keep up with business trends and changes in our customers?)

4. We tried that once before! (why didnt it work before and what has or could be changed?)

5. We dont have money for that! (how can we get money if this is a really good idea?)

6. Thats not our job! (is it a new responsibility we need to accommodate)

7. Something like that cant work! (how can we make it work?)

Even though the initial responses may be correct statements, they can be deadly to new ideas and solutions. So the Chamber of Commerce Board is now focused on eliminating these knee-jerk negative responses and encouraging suggestions and comments from the community. Please send any comments to me at [email protected].

It is easy to relax when things are going well. And, there are always new ideas to explore, or old ideas that are now feasible or can work with some modifications to guard against becoming stagnant as we continue working toward the Chamber mission:

To serve in the leadership role of helping the business community prosper and as a collaborative partner with the City and community organizations to enhance a strong sense of community and engender the cooperative spirit of small town life.

Meet the Pioneers Players Make a Donation and a DifferenceLast year, Meet the Pioneers Players, Seth Weintraub and Lynn Ransford took-on the roles of George and Sarah Trefren and told the sad story of the death of

their daughter Sadie. It was a very emotional undertaking for both Seth and Lynn who were quite touched with the story and the terrible loss these parents felt. Sadie, who was born in 1874, married Albert Perry in Jacksonville

on Sunday, April 21, 1895. On Monday, the bride and groom made their way out to the Applegate to the Neuber Farm where Albert worked. On Tuesday morning April 23, while taking out some hot ash from the stove, Sadie's clothes caught fireshe died later that day. The young bridegroom purchased a plot for his bride for $5 in the City Section of the Jacksonville Cemetery and her wedding bouquet was placed on the gravesite. For all these years, Sadie

has rested in an unmarked grave but now, thanks to the generosity and caring of Seth and Lynn, the grave will soon have a headstone. Seth and Lynn made a donation to the Friends of Jacksonville's Historic Cemetery to purchase and place a headstone on this final resting place of Sadie Trefren Perry. We so appreciate their thoughtfulness and donation which now allows us to mark one more of the many unmarked graves in the cemetery.

Corner of 4th & MainNews Updates on the Jacksonville Community Centerby Jeanena Whitewilson

Recently, representative from ten different clubs and civic organizations attended a presentation by David Byland and Rick Patsche on bringing the Community Center from an idea to a completed facility. Future meetings will be held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 10:00am and all interested community members are welcome to attend.

Rick, who has 30 years of experience as a General Contractor and David, with a strong background in project development, shared a very clear vision developed with Jerry Ferronato, President of the Jacksonville Community Center (JCC). The vision includes design, planning, and building with time and costs of each phase. The newly-sized lot was shown with possible 50% building space, then with required setbacks, and again with enhanced setbacks for gardens and parking.

The discussion covered fundraising, building plans, architect and contractor selection, staffing, letters of support from clubs and community outreach.

A frequently asked question was, now that the City has the courthouse with its

large upstairs, why would JCC build a community center here? Simply put, JCC is focusing on a large multi-use gathering space that could accommodate 150-200 and be separated into two or three rooms, with smaller break-out rooms. A courthouse plan presented to the City Council was to move City offices into the downstairs and for large, open formats upstairs. JCC, as a private non-profit organization, has less restrictions on it than a government building project. JCC is now ready to move forward and is not in competition with any other facility in town, and will work together to offer options for residents and visitors to enhance our community.

The construction of this size building for the JCC multi-uses was described by Rick as, Simple compared to the building of a home. According to projected costs, JCC will need to raise $500,000 to complete this multi-use community center.

During the presentation, attendees offered assistance with grant writing, bookkeeping, in-kind labor, club participation, and outreach, making for an exciting day at the corner of Main and 4th Streets.

Amid all the national news of fracking, contaminated water sources, gas leaks, not to mention the infamous Keystone Pipeline, Ive been feeling quite safe and protectedand yes, even smugliving here in Southern Oregon. The events, while upsetting and of concern, didnt seem to be happening anywhere in my home state. Then I learned about a pipeline project slated for my very own backyard.

Heres what Ive learned about the proposed Jordan Cove Project since becoming informed last December: A Canadian energy corporation, Veresen, is proposing to build a pipeline from Malin, Oregon (Klamath County) through Jackson, Douglas and Coos Counties to a natural gas liquefaction plant, shipping berth and power plant 14 stories high, along the sensitive and environmentally-important Coos Bay estuary.

There are numerous controversial aspects of this project. In fact it doesnt matter what political persuasion you align with, theres probably something in it you dont like. Heres a sampling of some of the biggies:

The 234-mile-long pipeline will cross more than 400 waterways, including the Rogue River

For the benefit of Veresen Corporation, more than 150 acres of private land will be impacted using eminent domain (the power of a state or a national government to take private property for public use)

The gas being transported will originate from the Rockies by fracking, one of the dirtiest, most expensive and dangerous extraction methods in use today

The gas will be exported for sale to other countries

If allowed to move forward, this project would become the largest emitter of carbon pollution in Oregon

And I havent even mentioned the real and present danger of an increasingly-hot

planetone that is a result of burning the very fossil fuels this project would promote. Isnt it time we use our vast expanses of imagination to paint a different future? As Berry points out, we need to imagine our place in the world without destroying it. As a species, we resist change because its unknown. But in this case, arent we willing to take a chance on the unknown, realizing that unless we do, the status quo will lead to disaster?

So, you ask, why are some Oregonians in favor of supporting a dirty energy project that would take private land and

potentially endanger precious natural resourcesall for the benefit of a foreign corporation? Well, the answer is money, of course. Veresen Corp promises jobs. And there is no doubt that southern

Oregon and Coos Bay in particular, could use more family wage jobs. But is creating jobs today at the cost of our climate, our childrens future, and the very health of the planet worth the lack of effort it would take to imagine a different choice? And actually, as I delved a little deeper, Ive learned it doesnt take much effort or imagination.

For starters, each million dollars invested in alternative energy will create 17 times more jobs than further spending on natural gas, according to a study by the U.S. Department of Energy. More than 5,000 clean energy jobs have already been created in Oregon, and many times that are possible if we just make the commitment.

I encourage everyone who reads this to learn more about the issues, and if you have concerns and/or agree it should not be approved, then make your voice be heard.

In my research, Ive found this Oregonian website to be particularly helpful: http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2015/01/scientists_say_public_safety_h.html#incart_story_package.

JACKSONVILLE CITY SCHEDULE

News From Jacksonville Planning DepartmentThe Planning Department is getting

ready for the annual Historic Preservation Fund Grant Cycle. Every year, the City accepts applications for a 50/50 matching grant for restoration of historic properties.

Where does the Historic Preservation Fund come from?The money in the fund came from two separate endowments from two of Jacksonvilles citizensVerne Beebe and Linda Scovill. These women graciously gifted the City of Jacksonville money from their estates strictly to maintain the historic presence of the City. The City developed the Historic Preservation Fund Grant as a way to disburse the funds to property owners. The objective of the Grant program is to enhance and revitalize the historic character of Jacksonville through the preservation, restoration, rehabilitation and/or reconstruction of individually landmark-listed contributing historic resource structures.

What is the fund used for?The Citys Budget Committee, the Historic and Architectural Review Commission (HARC) and the City Council authorize expenditures to be used from the fund. Every year the budget committee and the Council approve 25% of the salary for the Planning Director/Historic Preservation Officer to be withdrawn from the fund, this fiscal year that amount came to a total of $19,283. At present, the fund

balance is $485,000. Every year the HARC requests a total amount to be used for the annual grant cycle; this amount must be approved by the Budget Committee and the Council. The amount requested and approved over the past few years has ranged from $35,000-$50,000. The Historic Preservation Fund is a finite amount of money, and over time it will be depleted.

What is the application process to receive a grant?Because there is a finite amount of money available each year, the process is competitive. The entirety of the project must be for exterior treatments, unless for structural improvements. The first priority is given to projects that improve the structural integrity, such as repairing foundations. The applicant is required to pay 50% of the cost of the project, and the matching grant funding is not received until the project is complete. The application requires bids from three (3) separate contractors, historic documentation, photographs and a detailed description of the project. The City requires all masons to comply with the very strict rules governing masonry restoration from the Secretary of Interior Standards Guidelines.

More information on the 2015 HPF Grant Program will be made available in late March/early April on the Citys website at www.jacksonvilleor.us or phone the Planning Department at 541-899-6873.

Are you troubled by the political discord today? I

am! Not that it is anything new. It is as old as the art of politics. History bears that out. I remember the hatred directed at President Harry Truman. It was intense, personal, and vicious... especially after he fired General Douglas MacArthur for gross insubordination. Though it was the greatest reaffirmation of our founding fathers' concept of a democratic society, it led to his withdrawal from politics after he realized he would never be able to win the 1952 Presidential election. Dwight Eisenhower's campaign slogan, "Korea, Communism and Corruption" added only more invective against Truman. Today Truman is one of the most highly-regarded Presidents of the Twentieth Century. So much for political invective!

I recently saw a film, A Stranger in Town, starring Frank Morgan as a Supreme Court justice who gets caught-up in a move to clear a small town of corruption in government. Its memory stayed with me because of a speech he makes at the end. Here is part of it.

"Like all of you here, I am a citizen of this country.

That is no little honor. Men have fought revolutions, have died to be called citizens, and as citizens we carry a burning responsibility.

It means that when we elect men to public office we cannot do it as lightly as we flip a coin...

"...the great liberties by which we live have been bought with blood. The kind of government we get is the kind of government we want. Government of the people, by the people and for the people can mean any kind of government. It's our duty to make it mean only one kind... uncorrupted ... free... united."

It's unquestionably the greatest speech ever written for Frank Morgan, an actor who seems remembered today only as the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz. I especially like the statement, "The kind of government we get is the kind of government we want." His dictum is clear. We can aim high or we can aim low. The choice is ours.

Nowhere in his speech does he suggest we use invective to succeed in politics. The whole point of invective is to incite

emotion, to insure that when you vote you don't explore the facts. That fits with those who vote the straight party line. Where was it taught in school to put party above country? Wherever they learned it, it must have been some class considering the way our elected representatives behave at the state and national levels.

Or take the statement, "when we elect men to public office we cannot do it as lightly as we flip a coin." Evidently Oregon's voters did when an ethics scandal tied to energy policy consulting work performed by Oregon Governor John Kitzhabers fiance was revealed before the last election. The voters ignored the news and re-elected him to a fourth term. How many of those votes were cast by a party firstcountry second mentality. Now the mess is getting worse with calls for him to resign from no less than,The Oregonian, formerly one of his strong supporters.

Our citizens are constantly describing how happy they are to be living in Jacksonville. They love the history brought to life every October with "Meet the Pioneers" in the Cemetery presentation. They love the small-town atmosphere, a rapidly disappearing sight in much of America. They love the friendly smiles and greetings from one another... sometimes from strangers on the sidewalk. Adding to all this is the remarkable collection of the quaint, century-old brick buildings... the large number of fine restaurants... the Britt concerts in the summertime... the winery tours... and more. There is something else: in terms of local government, there are no party politics. When citizens visit me in my office, I have no idea of whether they are liberal or conservative, Democrat, Republican, or Independent. There is no party hack telling us what to say or do. We may agree or disagree, but we listen to each other. We may even have misunderstandings about each other's position on some issue, but we don't call one another names or slander each other. Personally, I find this a blessing.

The early Twentieth Century humorist Will Rogers once said, "In Washington they just generally figure that one hatred offsets the other and they are both even." I'm glad I live in Jacksonville!

Jacksonville residents are invited to attend an informative and hands-on demonstration on Saturday, April 18, from 9:00am-Noon at the Fire Hall. The demonstration will help you become informed about how fuel reduction around your home can protect your most valuable asset!

Recently, The Jacksonville Firewise team has been working with the residents of the Gold Terrace neighborhood to become a certified Firewise community. A board of three residents has been formed and program information has now been distributed to all neighbors within the area. A community assessment of Gold Terrace areas in-need of debris clearing is underway. Information is also being distributed to residents requiring grant funding assistance to do the required clearing. This will be the second certified

Firewise neighborhood within Jacksonvilleplans are in-place to add several more during 2015.

Nationally, it has been noted, the fire suppression model does not work as well as actual fire prevention

and fuel mitigation programs. The Firewise Communities USA Program will enhance home survivability from wildfire as well as increase the safety of

residents and firefighters. By using effective public

education programs such as Firewise and supporting

the efforts of those residents who have demonstrated wildfire preparedness, we can achieve real change!

For more information, please contact our Firewise Coordinator, Michele Brown-Riding at 541-787-7383.

Jacksonville Firewise Program is Growing

City Council, February 3 & 17On 2/3 and 2/17, Administrator Jeff Alvis informed council on progress made on the Courthouse and dam/spillway projects. There was a mandatory pre-bid meeting for contractors interested in submitting bids on the seismic retrofit portion of the project on February 10. Alvis also noted that the State Historic Preservation Office had approved the citys Phase 1 and 2 plans for an interior fire sprinkler system and for an exterior elevator. Both approvals mark a significant aspect of moving forward on the proposed Courthouse conversion into city offices.

On the dam costs, estimates have not yet been received due to a difference of opinion concerning the best removal/restoration method to employ. The discrepancy over the nature of the work includes questions on erosion control, slope stability and fish habitatall being discussed with the state water resources department and ODF&W. Furthermore, Alvis noted a field survey will be required of the dam/spillway area for the presence of Fritillaria plants, an endangered lily that grows in and around Jacksonville.

On 2/3, City Planning Director Amy Stevenson gave council an overview of the citys 20-year growth plan analysis report. Council then approved the expenditure of up to $25,000 to update

the current scope of work and existing ECONorthwest plan to assess city growth needs.

Council listened to a presentation from GSI on the citys need to purchase additional water rights from the Army Corps of Engineers in order to meet increased water demand and usage. Yearly, the city purchases 400 acre feet from the Medford Water Commission, but has exceeded that use since 2009. During peak summer usage months, the city is now required to purchase additional water resources from outside providers. Therefore, Council is expected to approve a new, 20-year water rights contract with the Army Corp. to gain another 200 acre feet for a one-time cost of about $300,000 paid for from systems development fee funds.

Council discussed a new Volunteer Application and Waiver insurance form for volunteers assisting with city-initiated projects. Use of the new form, already being used by Ashland and Phoenix, is expected to win approval at the 3/17 meeting.

Jacksonville resident David Britt was appointed to the Budget Committee. Previously, Britt served on the Planning Commission for 8 years.

Council approved a new city-wide Emergency Operations Plan, a copy of which is available on the city website at www.jacksonvilleor.us.


Let's Talk Real Estate by Graham Farran, Expert Properties

The Accidental Landlord

If you unexpectedly find yourself with a home to

rent, youre what we call an accidental landlord. You never really planned on owning rental property, but maybe youre facing a job transfer or recently inherited a piece of property. The local real estate market has rebounded nicely and homes in Jackson County continue to increase in value by about 8% a year; but, home values are still not where they were in 2004 and 2005 so it may not be advantageous to sell.

Should you rent or should you sell?You have to look at the rental numbers before you put your home up for sale. Rental homes are in demand everywhere, especially in Jacksonville. A nice, newer 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath home can yield $2,000 + a month. If the current value of your home is $400,000 and you factor in appreciating home values which have averaged 8% a year, you can rent out your home for two years, receive $48,000 in rents, and the value of your home will go up to $466,000.

There are at least 6 things you must consider before you become a landlord.

#1 Know the lawLandlord tenant law is unique to each state and new laws are put into place every year. There are hundreds of tenant/landlord laws that must be followed. Here are the ones we see that come up the most often and get landlords in trouble:

The tenants security deposit belongs to the tenant and must be kept in a special non-interest bearing client trust account registered with the state and cannot be comingled with other funds. By Oregon Law, you have 30 days in which to return the tenants security deposit, minus any repair costs.

Tenants have the right to privacy and you must give them 24 hours notice if you want to go into or on the property.

If a tenant has lived in a rental more than a year, you have to give them 60 day notice to vacate.

The Fair Housing Act covers most housing and ensures that landlords do not refuse to rent or set different rental terms based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or handicap.

You must provide a CO detector and smoke detector with a 10-year battery.

So make sure you keep up on tenant landlord laws to keep yourself out of trouble.

#2 Know your prospective tenantsYou have to know whom you are renting to. Obtaining a thorough application and verifying the information is vitally

important. There are companies that specialize in resident screening and contract-out with property management companies. You can access an applicants detailed credit, criminal, eviction and rental history records. You also need to verify the applicants employment and income. Look the tenants employers number up yourself so you know you are talking to their actual employer, not the tenants friend. All this screening will pay-off as you would be surprised how many people dress well and drive a BMW but are overextended and cant pay all of their bills.

#3 Check Your EmotionsIf youre renting a home where youve lived for many years, set your emotions aside. I remember my fist rental property that I rented-out furnished; I could not get over someone else was sleeping in my bed. After a few months of steady income, I found myself quickly seeing my home as an asset that produced passive income.

#4 Compare Rental RatesDont let your emotions set your rental pricing.

Unrealistic expectations can keep you from meeting your goals. To determine your homes rental value, look at Craigs List, Zillow or Trulia and compare your home with homes in your neighborhood.

#5 Manage expectationsWhen you have completed your lease, go over every line with your

tenant and set expectations. Owners often get in trouble when expectations arent set and tenants do not know what they agreed to. Do not be flexible on terms such as the rent due date and late fees. We make it simple; rent is due on the 1st and late on the 5th, there are no exceptions. Put in writing as to whos responsible for what utilities, how to report repairs and how general maintenance will be handled.

#6 Take photos of everything, then take moreHaving a photo record of the condition of everything in the home prior to the tenant moving in is crucial. Then repeat the photo upon move out. A picture is worth a 1000 words and will save 1000's of dollars.

Becoming an accidental landlord has its privileges and drawbacks. The better-prepared you are before you sign the lease; the more likely it is that you and your tenant will have a great experience. If the process overwhelms you, dont hesitate to call us, your local property manager. Who knows, you might like it so much you invest in other properties to fund your retirement.

Tax Tips You Can Useby Kathleen Crawford & Angela Clague, Enrolled Agents

Tax Tips for Your 2014 Tax Return

1099 filing: The IRS and the state of Oregon continue to tighten-up on rule enforcement over the filing of these returns by businesses. Be aware that this year is no exception. Fines for late filing are more likely to be imposed, and the Oregon Department of Revenue has given instructions to disallow expenses ordinarily reported on an information return that was not filed or not timely filed. This rule is harsh because it means that the expenses ordinarily taken as a deduction will be disallowed, and added back to the business as income. So, if you havent filed 1099s already, send them in now.

ACA: Under the Affordable Care Act, lovingly called Obama Care, individuals who fall within certain poverty levels are eligible for a premium tax credit for medical insurance that is obtained through the Health Insurance Marketplace. If you received a premium tax credit, or were eligible but declined to take the credit in advance, you should receive a form 1095A from the Insurance Marketplace. This is a new form which identifies by month the amount of advanced credit received. This form helps reconcile the amount received, with the amount of credit that you are eligible to receive, and will be balanced through the personal income tax return. Without this form your return may be inaccurate; you may not receive an additional credit for which you are eligible, or you may need to pay back credit that has been over-funded.

Also, dont be surprised if you see a tax penalty reporting on your personal income tax return if you did not have medical insurance for yourself or your dependents for the tax year 2014. Be

advised that this penalty will increase in 2015 and again in 2016.

Medical deductions on Schedule A: There are very high thresholds that have to be exceeded in order to claim medical deductions as an itemized deduction. I do not intend to discuss these here. I would, however, remind our senior tax payers that Oregon allows a medical subtraction of up to $1800 per taxpayer on the Oregon tax return. Oregon has increased the eligible age from 62 years to 63 years in order to claim this subtraction. This is per taxpayer. Please note that Medicare part B can count towards your medical subtraction.

While we are talking about medical insurance, I would like to point out an adjustment to income that is often overlooked on self-prepared returns and by some tax professionals: if you are a senior who is paying Medicare part B and you also have a business reporting on schedule C, you are eligible to claim the Medicare part B as self employed health insurance to the extent that the business has net income.

As always, be sure to keep substantiation of all items of expense or deductions taken on your return, and if in doubt, consult your Tax Professional.
