Services 100% GuaranteedIn 1967 I took computer programing

in college, at that time the computer took up the whole room! Things have certainly changed. I taught computers at Masters Christian High School and Lifegate Christian School for a few years. In 1999 I went to work for Symantec and then Best Software we also began R Computer Company out of our home. Finally in 2005 we went full time with the business as our sole support. We are a family owned and operated business with our sons David and Scott performing the technical work and Jnona serving as receptionist.

We build and repair computers. For example, some of our services are: fix errors, clean up computers of cookies temporary files and temporary internet files and make them run faster, remove viruses. We build desktops to your specifications, putting on the programs you need. We pride ourselves in the fact that our services are completely guaranteed. But you must let us know it still has a problem. Our normal turnaround time is 24 clock hours. We work on both desktops and laptops.

If you mention seeing this add in the Tri County Community Connections we will give new customers a $10.00 discount the first time you come in. We will come to your home if necessary or you can bring your computer to us.

We welcome your business, both individuals and businesses.

No not the kind that make you sick, the kind that makes your computer sick. There are many out there developed by sick people who want to, for some reason, make your life more difficult. The FBI locked your compute? No! It has nothing to do with the FBI, and best thing to do is turn off the computer and take it to your computer repair person. In our office we have equipment that tells us what the virus is, and what files are infected. Its a timely procedure and usually we have the computer back to the owner the next day. And the reason for this is none of them are the same. When your car breaks down it takes this part and that part and it will always be the same part in the same place. When it’s a virus, you never know what is going to be affected. We do our best to save peoples informa-tion on the hard drive, and only a time or two have lost information. I know some-places just put in a new hard drive and you lose everything. We find that procedure disturbing because it is not necessary. There are many Antivirus programs, but we’ve found Norton is the one which catches the really bad ones. One more thing, these bad people change the viruses almost daily. So if you had one removed then get it again, it’s because they modified it.

We will help anyone with a virus and our work is guaranteed.

Viruses

The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts that “winter will be much snowier than normal this year, with frequent snows from mid-December through the first three weeks of January” in the Pacific Northwest. With winter winds coming, a tree safety assessment now can prevent property damage later from fallen trees and broken branches. Let Brian Jones and Devin DeMarce of A-1 Ron’s Stump & Tree Removal help with your tree care needs to prepare for the harsh winter forecast. Both men were raised in Lane County and the business is family owned, operating since 1989.To make tree care easier and safer, the crew acquired a 60-foot boom truck. “This will reduce costs for customers in some cases, because we won’t need a tree climber,” Brian said, “but there’ll be some situations where we’ll still need to climb a tree,” Brian said. Teacher and senior discounts will also be honored through January. Like all living things, trees have a life expectancy and are susceptible to disease and decay and should be assessed yearly. “We make our customer’s needs our top priority and have spectacular clean-up to complete the job,” Brian said. “In short, there are healthy trees, dangerous trees, and undesirable trees. In any case, our expe-rienced crew will get the job done. We will come out and give you an estimate free of charge.”

The Hitch Pro team

Everything to do with Trailers Craig Metzger, president of Hitch Pro & Tow, has a staff of experts who have been in the ‘hitch’ business for more than 20 years each. Hitch Pro and Tow can modify andcustomize hitches to fit almost any vehicle. “If you need nerf bars, tow bars for motorhomes, motorcy-cle or bicycle racks, mudflaps, 5th wheels, goosenecks, or any of a large variety of ball hitches—we’ve got them all,” Craig said. “We do brake controls— electric or hydraulic, trailer lights for new hookups and trailer lights for old hookups. When we do wheel bearings we do it right—we don’t just add grease, we clean out the old grease and clean the bearing surfaces and then pack in the new grease. “When all that is done, we check the electrical and the trailer alignment—when needed, we can rebuild and realign. We want our customers to be confident that they are towing properly and safely.” The amount of items that Hitch Pro & Tow has in stock to serve the trailer and recreational vehicle industry is huge, but more important, the skill that their technicians have is critical to a proper functioning and safe experience.

People should be aware of the damage that trees can cause following rain, wind, ice, and snow storms. Those living near trees should avoid parking vehicles under trees. To avoid disaster, inspect trees before bad weather hits, because after the storm, tree service companies are booked too far in advance. A tree inspection now can prevent costly damage later to structures and vehicles.

With a tree risk assessment from A-1 Ron’s Tree & Stump Removal, your tree’s health is checked to see if a branch has the potential to break. When tree experts Brian Jones and Devin DeMarce come out and work on a tree, they fully inspect that tree for future damage—a benefit other tree companies don’t provide.

Brian says, “Unseen damage can also occur from squirrel chew, when a squirrel gets on top of a branch and eats all the bark so folks can’t see the damage from below. This weakens the branch over time. We also can tell if a tree will fall on a house, if a tree gets limb heavy on one side, or if it has the potential to fall over when soil gets wet. Call us to schedule a tree inspection today.”

By Brian Jones, Co-OwnerProviding stellar service to loyal

customers was how my father, Ron, made his business at A-1 Ron’s Tree and Stump Removal a success. So when he retired and offered the business to me, Brian Jones, and my brother-in-law, Devin DeMarce, we decided to improve upon his good service and treat his customers even better. He started the business in 1989 and today it supports my and Devin’s families. Keeping my father’s legacy alive was important to us because we are more personable than other tree service companies. We like creating relationships with our customers, and we have a lot of return business because of that. Based in Springfield and Junction City, we service most of Lane County and parts of Linn and Benton counties.

A-1 Ron’s is truly a family business today with the help of my sister, Jessica, who manages the books and who is also married to Devin, and with help from my wife, Sara, who handles

promotions. Devin and I each have two children, so we aspire to pass on the family business to them, just like my father passed on the business to us.

Our business differs from other tree companies because our final clean up is superior. I know this because we do a lot of stump grinding for other tree companies that don’t grind stumps, and I see the mess they leave. After we’re done stump grinding, we end up cleaning up their mess as well. We pride ourselves with over-the-top clean up.

As a full service tree company, we do stump and tree removal, tree trimming, hazardous removal off structures, tree crown reduction, and power line clearing. We also wind sail trees so high winds can blow through them. We have a 60-foot boom truck that’s also our chip truck, so we chip everything into the back of the boom truck or we dump it for a customer who wants to keep the chips. We also have a Brush Bandit

chipper that can chip a 12-inch log to make the job go faster.

We also have a Vermeer 665 large stump grinder, a piece of equipment that most other tree companies don’t have. By grinding large stumps, we can smooth land after it’s been logged. We can remove a tree where someone wants to plant grass by grinding the stump completely out of the ground. People often use the bark for improvement projects.

Our business includes both residential customers and big companies like construction companies, EWEB and the City of Eugene. We also have accounts with seven mobile home parks around the Eugene/Springfield areas. Our customers will never go with anyone else, because my dad treated them so well. Today we treat them even better by giving them additional benefits like price reductions. Please give us a call before inclement weather strikes for a free estimate for all your tree needs. •

When I was first looking for a CPA for my business I found one was to ‘hard,’ one was too ‘soft,’ and Tayloe & Eichner was ‘just right.’ The firm has two CPAs that bring both experience and enthusiasm to the table. “We strive to provide our clients with the best experience that we can,” CPA Shawn Eichner said. “In our effort to help our clients, we use technology to help us provide convenience to our clients’ lives, while still providing the personal service that our clients need. We have experience in many industries including construction, farming, insurance, and many others. We would be happy to sit down with you and see if there is anything that we can do to help you out.”

CONSULTATION

“Many people have several misconceptions about this area and this can cost their heirs a lot of money someday. We are going to brie� y discuss what a Trust is. “A Trust is a separate legal entity that legally owns all of your possessions. Your house, car, and bank accounts are titled under the name of your Trust. One or more Trustees then manage the assets based on the instructions in the Trust Agreement. Often, we have the original owner of the property be the Trustee and give them un-

limited rights, but that is something that would depend on each person. “When the individual passes away, the assets are dis-tributed based on what the Trust Agreement says. Un-like when people use a Will, a Trust does not need to go through probate court. � is can be either a good thing or a bad thing depending on your situation. “Tayloe & Eichner, CPAs, LLC is a local CPA � rm located in Spring� eld, Oregon and we have been work-ing with clients on estate planning, along with taxes and other � nancial matters, for many years and if you would like to discuss estate planning, or any other issue, please give us a call.”

Don’t throw away good steelLet us Sharpen it!

Fred and Clark Carson, along with their cousin Willy, have been involved in the sharpening business for most of their lives. Their Grandpa John started it in the 1920s, their dad Dale took it over, and now they are at the helm. The knowledge and skill found at Carson Saw Shop is what you get can’t find anywhere else—irreplaceable knowl-edge about cutting tools such as chisels, drills, circular saws, band saws, hand saws, planer blades and more. “We live in an age where people buy a tool, and when it gets dull, they throw it away and buy a new one—not a wise way to go,” Fred said. “Carson Saw Shop will make quality tools last longer and, at the same time, we can customize a cutting angle to match the material being cut—that saves our customers Time and Money.” Fred adds, “Contact us for all your blade sharpening needs. We can sharpen anything from a lawnmower blade to a kitchen knife or a skill saw blade. You will be amazed by how far you can extend the life of your valuable tools with just a little maintenance.”

Story and Photos by Colette Kimball Those of us who grew up in Oregon’s timber towns during the 1950s, 60s, and into the 70s are very familiar with wigwam burners. Used to incinerate waste at our lumber mills, wigwam burners once dotted our river valleys, sitting next to every Oregon mill. Growing up in southern Oregon, author Curt Deatherage remembers seeing the embers swirling around under the screen mesh of his local wigwam burner one night. He thought that this must be what fireflies look like, and the memory has stayed with him his whole life. Conical in shape and primarily constructed from steel plates, the burners were typically 40 to 60 feet in diameter at the base, and rose from 15 to 100 feet tall. Wood and bark waste was fed into the burner by a conveyor belt, and air was sup-plied to the fire through openings at the base of the burner or, some-times, fans and grate systems. Steel mesh spark arrestors were placed on top in an attempt to prevent fires. A 1976 Register Guard article said there were more than 200 in Lane County in the mid-1960s, and a report by OSU says there were 376 in operation throughout Oregon at that time. Although wigwam burners were once a symbol of economic stabil-ity for many Oregon towns, they often operated at far from optimum burning conditions and many Ore-

gonians got tired of choking on the smoke. In 1970, new air pollution laws began phasing out the burners. At the same time, new uses were found for the “waste.” That waste now becomes bark dust, particle board,

charcoal briquettes, and wood pel-lets, to name just a few uses. Today, wigwam burners are becoming a rare sight in Oregon. For Curt Deatherage, seeking out and researching wigwam burners has become a consuming hobby. He has spent the past 15 years track-ing down old burners throughout the northwest, including northern California, Washington, Idaho, and

Montana as well as Oregon. Over the years, he’s photographed about 250 of them. Curt’s passion for wigwam burners is evident when you talk with him. He estimates that there are about 40 to 45 still remaining in Oregon. That number changes as old burn-ers fall down or are finally taken down due to liability concerns. Beyond taking photographs, Curt has also collected lumber industry trade magazines, mostly from the 1950s, which include advertisements from the manufac-tures of wigwam burners. In his self-published book, Lumber Icons, he has matched some of that adver-tising with wigwams that are still standing. I’ve sought out some of our local wigwam burners myself. Some, like the one at Davidson Industries in Mapleton, are obviously still loved. Others, like the one barely visible outside of Chitwood, are slowly falling down, being taken over by trees and nature. These once prominent icons are now remnants of the past quickly disappearing from our landscape.

Something that makes us different from the rest is our vacuum tumbler. What is a vacuum tumbler? You ask. It’s a large piece of equipment that brines our smoked meats. Our vacuum tumbler has a large chamber that you load your meat and brine (or marinade) into and then suck all the pressure out of the chamber. Then it tumbles round and round. Here’s what happens inside. Sucking the pressure out of the chamber opens the meat fiber slightly and allows for the brine to be absorbed evenly throughout the meat. Under vacuum, the meat expands and becomes more porous, allowing the brine (or marinade) to penetrate deeper than soaking (like many others do). The gentle tumbling action of the drum coupled with the brine (or marinade) tenderizes and flavors the meat. This process takes a few hours, more or less depending what you’re tumbling-hams, bacons, or jerky. The meat is allowed to rest until the next day when we load it into our smokers. By this process, we get a great and flavorful product each and every time!!! This is why we’re different! We currently sell jerky, bacon, hams, smoked pork chops, Ham Hocks, and dried beef all prepared in our very own Daniels Vacuum Tumbler. Please stop in and check out what we have on the shelf.

Now Is A Good Time For An Annual Physical Exam A lot has changed in the last couple of years. Many of you have undergone significant changes in your insurance. The amount of information about insurance products can be overwhelming and patients sometimes don’t realize their insurance covers the cost of an annual exam. Patients should use this visit to be thoroughly examined, review their health status, take a close look at their medications and discuss a plan for optimizing their health in the months ahead - that’s what annual exams are for!

Your Provider has access to a state-of-the-art electronic medical records system. It houses information of many kinds, but may not include medications you’ve been prescribed by other specialists, from emergency department visits or even regular over the counter medications you may use. Its important to bring as complete a list as possible to your visit. Improving the quality of your medical record leads to better decisions, and a higher quality of life often is the result. Its probably not surprising that your Providers troubleshooting is sharper when

they have the best information available. Some patients at Junction City Medical have learned how to access the “Portal” on the website, junctioncitymedical.com. It has information on your prescriptions too, and can be used to interact with your medical team. Refill requests can be entered there, along with easy access to information on upcoming appointments and results of previous lab testing. Ask your medical team about it. It’s a time saver. Call up and schedule yourself for your annual exam. You’ll be glad you did.

Meet Family-Nurse Practioner Yvonne Keep

“I’ve been here for three weeks and look forward to many years here,” says FNP-C (Family Nurse Practioner Certified) Yvonne Keep.

“The docs here are phenomenal and the co-workers are great. I began my nursing career at 19 in Michigan, then was in Bend for 16 years, then 7 years in Montana (rural medicine in Cutbank) and then in Corvallis (internal medicine) for 2 years. Along the way, my profession has been one of varied exposure to different care techniques. I came to Junction City because I really enjoy family medicine. “Here in Junction City we do broad spectrum care. I like serving all ages. It allows for a better understanding of individual and family needs. This allows me to share with our patients the concept

of preventative care. That means, of course, giving up a lifestyle that will harm your body and trading it for a lifestyle that will offer the best possible for your body. Along with this comes ‘feeling good’. “This is my professional passion, to motivate people to a healthier lifestyle. And I have a special concern for young people, that if they stray from healthy habits to correct their course. “My personal goal is to embed myself in Junction City and be active in the community and to never retire. This small town community along with fine professionals to work with make it a perfect place to live.”

Barncraft Building Supply started in 1988 from a previously family owned business; Lindahl Lumber Co. Present owner, Rebecca Lindahl, had worked there since 1973, doing pretty much whatever needed to be done. During the late 1970’s when demand was high for post frame buildings, she learned to design from plans brought in for esti-mates. Her first design was her own barn for livestock, built 35 years ago and still standing strong. Over the years, post frame design and products have evolved but the essence of simplicity in building remains the same. We design to accomplish intended use, using the best materials and products. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best value and usefulness in a variety of out buildings.

Barncraft employs a handful of people and Becky feels this is the best crew ever: Lora Paulson, office manager, teacher of technology, tweaker of office machine. Sylvia Digerness, Designer, sales person, keeper of order. Nathan McClatchey, operations manager, protector of mer-chandise, loader and unloader, scheduler of deliveries. John Alldridge, delivery driver, for over 25 years. Leianna Wheeler, data entry, salesperson, spreader of cheer-fulness. The team has this one thing in common; enjoying meeting people and helping them have their dream projects become reality.

Your Pole Barn, Your Way — The Pole Barn PeopleOwner Becky Lindahl Mgr. Lora Paulson

1 mile south of Junction City, near the intersection of HWY 99 & HWY 36

By Becky Lindahl, OwnerBarncraft Building Supply

originally started out as Junction City’s Lindahl Lumber Company, a family business. My father, Leonard Lindahl, started the company in the 1960s as a pallet factory. It then evolved into a lumber yard selling seconds and low grade materials like concrete and roofing. At that time, Jerry’s Home Center only sold plumbing fittings and electrical parts, so Lindahl’s eventually became a full-fledged lumber yard.

I, Becky Lindahl, was in high school then, and I built pallets for extra money. I also handled deliveries and drove trucks. After my dad passed away in 1975, my brother, Mike, took over the business. I then moved inside, doing sales and designing barns. I learned from the contractors buying materials from our business. Their support was crucial then and remains so today, as I continue to learn new ways to design barns from our builders.

After the economic crash of the 1980s, many of our major residential contractors went out of

business. I began designing pole barns regularly. The inventory required to supply pole barn packages was far less varied, so it was a faster turn on a much smaller amount of working capital. I purchased the company from my brother in 1988 and changed the name to reflect the pole barn services we provided. Today, we at Barncraft are known as ‘the pole barn people.’

I love the pole barn I designed for myself in 1978, where I raise animals. Other customers use pole barns for workshops, classic cars, wood working, and toy storage. Some are built for commercial uses. These days, more than half our buildings are engineered as residential accessory buildings rather than for farm use. We partner with Nicholas Jasper of Alliance Engineering on these projects. He specializes in pole barns and he keeps it simple, saving our customers money. 

We offer barn designs along with quality barn material packages for your building, your way. We provide affordable designs to a fault.

The jobs I lose are the ones where the customers want to spend more than my packages cost! The whole idea is that pole barns should be simple. They don’t need to cost much, although we can dress them up. Designs are a mix of strong and sturdy, elegant and rustic, practical yet easy to customize to a variety of purposes.

Many people wonder about a woman in the building materials industry, and I can tell you that I have never experienced any gender discrimination. I have had 26 years so far of wonderful customers, suppliers, and employees. Best of all, I get to bring my dog, Shadow, to work. Come let us design a pole barn for you starting as low as $2,000. Check out our building and landscaping supplies as well. My crew and I are always ready and willing to help. •

First, let us understand two terms. The word“Whiplash” en-compasses the damage that occurs to the bony spine, particularly, the soft tissues of the neck. “Whiplash associated disorders” (WAD) en-compass ALL the associated inju-ries and symptoms. For simplicity let’s talk about WAD. A typical auto accident There you are sitting at a red light when suddenly, wham, your car gets hit from behind. “What was that?” you say to yourself, slightly dazed and confused. You realize you’ve been hit. “Am I OK?” “Is everyone else OK?” Then you start thinking about your car. Later, perhaps hours or even into a few days later, it begins to sink in. Ever since the collision, you have not been feeling like your normal self. You’re experiencing obvious pains and symptoms like muscle stiffness and spasm, neck pain, headaches, numbness and tingling, mid back pain, low back pain, diffi-culty sleeping, irritability, memory loss, fatigue, difficulty concentrat-ing, and many other problems. You go to your doctor. He/she concludes that your neck was hyperextended. He/she prescribes pills and says to come back in two

weeks if pain persists. After two weeks you go back in pain and get more pills. The cycle continues to repeat itself. Your quality of life is not improving. You worry about the cause of the pain AND a new problem, becom-ing addicted to pain pills. WHY do you hurt? What can you do? Back to the the accident During the accident, within 250 milliseconds, your neck went through abnormal motion causing it to flex and extend – At The Same Time! Your ligaments and soft tissue have been damaged. This is WHY you hurt. You are not suffer-ing from a “whip” or a “lash” nor are you suffering from a “hyperex-tension/hyperflexion”injury. Now that you know what is causing your pain, treatment needs to focus on the injured tissues (the ligaments of the neck joints) and not just masking the pain with pills. Chiropractic is the primary treatment method for focusing on these damaged joints. While the joints are being fixed, it is also wise to include therapeutic exercises and simple stretches. Obviously the muscles are sore too, and massage therapy is beneficial. •

“Out here on the coast there is always pest activity going on-just because it’s winter, the carpenter ants, termites and powder post beetles may slow down, but they don’t stop-they reduce property value! And just like in the valley, as the outdoors gets wetter and the water rises, the rodents run right into or under your home or business. I’ve seen the destruction of rats, mice, racoons, & opossums-they make nests, damage walls and insulation, and deposit smelly and filthy urine and feces.

Ready or Not? A big part of safety is thinking ahead, being prepared. The simplest form of hazard analysis business owners do isprobably asking themselves what they need in their first aid kits. What could happen on my site? Could there be cuts, minor burns, exposure to heat, cold or weather? There is an ANSI standard for the basics to include in any kit, whether you are outfitting a small office, a large truck, a restaurant, lumber mill, grocery store or machine shop. There is a special “Forest Activities” fill specified by OSHA for logging operations. But because OSHA puts the responsibility of being prepared on each employer, special conditions may require special fills. We build kits to ANSI standards, but we also build custom kits of various sizes and purposes for sports teams, truckers, manufacturers, deli and fast food shops, disaster response teams and sheriff’s departments. And we make refills easy. Metal kits and cabinets, plastic kits, soft kits in fanny packs, duffels or backpacks? See us at Norwest Safety for First Aid.

By Ken BanyardWorking with recreational

towing equipment, Hitch Pro & Tow, Inc. has been serving customers since Ken Mort, a custom fabricator, started the business in 1999. Craig Metzger had been friends with Ken for years and worked with him at Les Service & Canopy Sales in Springfield. The two always wanted to be in business together, so Craig joined the business and became co-owner with Ken. The business was incorporated in 2002. After Ken’s death in 2010, Craig became president of Hitch Pro & Tow, which is still located at its original location on West Eleventh in Eugene.

Besides Craig, five other employees make this business a success today: our sales manager, Ken Banyard; our bookkeeper, Norma Metzger; and three incredible fabricators and installers, Pat Rickels, Brian Wilson and Sean Stewart. As Craig became aware of each of the employees at the time they were looking for a new position, he was able to offer them work.

What makes our business stand

out from others is the tremendous amount of experience between our staff and what our staff brings to the customers. Our customers come first. If there’s a problem, we service them after the sale and we take exceptional care of them. We are proud of the many return customers and referrals by word of mouth.

Our business works in the sales and installation of recreational towing equipment. We set up vehicles to be towed behind motor homes, which is a huge part of our business. We do a lot of work on horse trailers, utility trailers, cargo trailers, regular travel trailers, and most any type of trailer. We also do repairs, we pack wheel bearings, flip axles, and do custom work. Our work basically keeps your trailers in good towing condition.

People can also purchase parts and carry them out themselves. We have a large inventory for towing accessories—all kinds of balls, ball mounts, brake controls, and locks. We have all Roadmaster & Blue Ox tow bars available, and install braking systems for tow

vehicles, using the SMI system. If we do not have the hitch in stock, we can order it from our suppliers and usually have it the next day. This way you don’t have to wait a week or two weeks to get your installations done. Recreational vehicles include travel trailers, fifth wheels, and any trailer you would put an ATV on. We install hitches to be able to tow them and we do fabrication on certain trailers that need changes. We also repair or service tailgates, broken hinges, electrical wiring, brake controls, sway bars, and weight distribution systems.

Our staff invites you to get your annual trailer repairs and service done before the busy summer months. The winter months allow speedy service along with in-house repair specials to get your trailers and vehicles safely on the road by spring.

“Don’t take a chance with your towables, call Hitch Pro & Tow today.”Hitch Pro & Tow’s website is worth the visit:www.hitchproandtow.net

With nice weather upon us, reasons to tow increase. Folks tow speed boats to lakes, fishing boats to rivers, motorcycles to mountains, ATVs to sand dunes, horse trailers to riding trails, and campers to camps sites. Workers tow as well, using utility trailers for yard work, home repairs, and moving furniture.

Now is the time to get your new and older vehicles in proper towing order to avoid the hassle of costly breakdowns along the road. With more than 20 years of hitching experience, the experts at Hitch Pro & Tow in West Eugene will make your towing experience a safe one.

“We build and service trailer lights for new and older hookups, and we do electric and hydraulic brake controls,” says Hitch Pro’s president, Craig Metzger. “When we do wheel bearings, we don’t just add grease—we clean out the old grease, clean the bearing surfaces and pack in new grease. And then we check the alignment and align your vehicle if needed.

“We can customize or modify hitches to fit almost any vehicle. We have tow bars for motor homes, motorcycle and bicycle racks, nerf bars, goosenecks, mud flaps, 5th wheels and a variety of ball hitches. We also build, install and service them all, because we want our customers to be confident that they are towing properly and safely.”

You’re rolling down the road enjoying the day when a deer jumps in your path. What do you do? Hit the deer? Speed up? Avoid the deer by going in the ditch or swerving into oncoming traffic? Each year sees roughly a million deer/vehicle accidents across the nation. In an area full of deer, chances are high you will encounter some in your lifetime and maybe hit one. Deer are out in the late afternoons, evenings and mornings—the times most likely to hit one as they are moving. If a deer is in the road or jumps in the road, the rule of thumb is to hit your brakes firmly and STAY in your lane. You may hit the deer, but you will be safer than if you slam on the brakes and lose control. Also, more people are injured from swerving than from hitting a deer. Most people don’t want to hit animals of any kind, but for your and your passengers’ safety, you are less likely to be injured by hitting a deer than swerving. Many factors are involved, but staying in your lane is one of the safest decisions. If you have a wide roadway and are driving at lower speeds, then going around animals is a reasonable option. Should you hit a deer, report the hit to your local law enforce-ment agency. If you carry comprehensive coverage on the vehicle, you can turn the damage into your insurance company. Most insurance companies treat this claim as a non-chargeable event.

Call your agent with questions. At Junction City Insurance, we don’t mind talking about a

potential claim because we’re here to help.

Perhaps you have 5 to 20 acres with a full-time job away from your home and you raise a few head of cat-tle and sell a couple per year at auction or on-line. Or, perhaps you sell some eggs or take some produce to a Farmer’s Market. You might have an acre of blueber-ries that you allow u-pick. You might sell raw milk or honey. You might sell jam. Do you board a horse for a small fee? This doesn’t appear to be a farm to the average per-son. But to insurance, it is—there are farming and/or product liability exposures that need to be reviewed by you and your Agent. Our agency has been built to handle the country and rural markets. We offer a broad array of compa-nies that work with farms big and small. We have a broad array of policy choices to address your specific needs. Talk with us. Let us guide you. It may be that you are taking risks that you should not and cannot afford. You may have a small, viable operation but just don’t realize you need more insurance protection and that it can be very affordable. Call us and talk with us. We welcome you!

If so, hang up and let’s talk! First of all, this is not a Microsoft technician. Second, they are not looking at your computer. Third, they will ask for your credit card number to pay for the work they are going to do. This is a scam by bad people. One of our customers gave them her credit card number and her checking account was cleaned out the next day. I have tried to tell the scammers who call that I build and repair computers, but they keep talking, so  I found it best to hang up and let them call someone else, sorry to say.

By David Rohde, OwnerA computer class in college

is how I, David Rohde, of R Computer Company in Harrisburg, first learned about computers. My interest peaked after a friend gave me an IBM compatible computer and I moved 200 miles away. After that, whenever I had a question, I would call him and he would walk me through it. I also learned to research in college, so if I had a question, I would search the Internet. I eventually started working on computers on my own, so essentially, I am self taught.

I stayed interested in computers even after I began teaching math, pastoring, and working as an administrator at Masters Christian High School in Eugene. I built the entire network for the school and maintained all the computers. My family started R Computer in 1999, just prior to my going to work for Symantec Corporation. Software companies do a tremendous job in offering instruction to their employees in all aspects of the computer world.

All the classes offered to me helped me in my computer business.

After leaving the software industry in 2005, R Computer became a full-time business. My son, Scott, works with me in the office, while my wife, Jnona, is office manager.  Our business philosophy is ‘let’s build a system that is going to last the customer for a number of years, and let’s try to get the best economical deal that we can, so the customer gets the best performance and reliability for the least amount of money.’

 Our company repairs computers and builds custom desktops. We service residential and small business customers. Our largest customer has about 25 computers. We built all their computers and their network and we installed the wiring when they relocated to a new facility.  I handle repairs remotely or I go on site. We do virus removal, hardware replacement, and wireless networking. We also install wireless printers and routers.

Additionally, we repair

hardware on older computers with XP that other companies refuse to work on. As far as XP goes, just keep using it as you have been. Microsoft no longer offers updates for XP, but you don’t need to buy a new computer until you want one. Virus protection is still available for XP, and we will work on them as long as people have them

At R Computer, we strive to treat people right. Our turnaround time is about 24 clock hours unless we need to order parts. We charge an hourly rate, with a minimum in-the-shop of $75. We’ll reduce the cost for short jobs. In-house or office calls are a minimum of $100. We don’t charge for mileage. Telephone support is no charge whether or not a person has been a customer before. The Lord continues to bless us as our business grows every year.

World War I — Toledo, Oregon — and Sitka SprucePART ONE

By Finn J.D. John In the Great War, Allies flew planes made of Sitka spruce, much of it was milled in Toledo. Many famous First World War aircraft were made of spruce, and one of the most important sourc-es of the strategic wood was the northern Oregon coast. The last year of the First World War saw an explosion in Allied aircraft. The forces of Imperial Germany put up the best fight they could, and fielded probably the best aircraft of the war — the Fokker D.VII, which famously could hang on its propeller — but the few they managed to make were overwhelmed by swarms of the latest SPADs, Nieuports and DeHavilands, which were close to equal quality and far more numer-ous. The fact is, after Oregon got involved in the war, the German air

force didn’t have a chance. At least one out of every three Allied fighter planes built during 1918 was made with at least some Oregon spruce — spruce that just months before had been growing in the hills of Lincoln County, proba-bly close by Yaquina Bay. The wonder wood When airplanes were first created, they were essentially giant box kites with crude gasoline engines on board, made with wood and fabric. As with any kite, weight was a big issue, so the wood used in these early machines had to be strong and light. After experimenting with lots of different types, early aviators quick-ly figured out there was one type of wood that was head and shoulders above the rest: Old-growth spruce. And of all the different types of spruces, the variety known as Sitka spruce was among the very best.

It was certainly the biggest Sitka spruce trees can get over 200 feet tall, with trunks over 10 feet in diameter. One 500-year-old Sitka spruce tree can provide enough straight, clear spruce to build about 150 Nieuport 28s. The wood is extremely rigid and lightweight. Furthermore, as it turned out, it wouldn’t shatter when hit with a rifle bullet. By the time the war had broken out in Europe, the belligerents all knew what to make airplanes out of. Germany, with access to plenty of Norway spruce in its northern reaches, was in the best shape. Not much spruce grows in France, and even less is found in Britain. But the Allies, as it turns out, had a secret weapon … the central coast of Oregon. —To be continued in the Spring Oregon Northwest Community Connection Magazine—

PORTLAND — An Ore-gon State Police detective who investigated a 2011 Northwest killing spree by a pair of white suprema-cists is expected to plead guilty to charges of forgery and official misconduct re-lated to the case, a prose-cutor said Wednesday.

Detective David Steele will enter the plea Friday at his arraignment in Sa-lem and be sentenced, Mar-ion County deputy district attorney Paige Clarkson an-nounced in a statement.

Further details of the apparent plea agreement were not available imme-diately.

Steele’s attorney, Mike Staropoli , declined to speak about what he de-scribed as an open and pending case.

The charges stemmed from Steele’s work in the case against Joey Peder-

sen and Holly Grigsby, who were convicted af-ter a nine-day rampage that claimed the lives of Peder sen’s father and step-mother in Washington, an Oregon teenager the cou-ple mistakenly thought was Jewish, and a black man in Northern California.

Steele was the lead in-vestigator until his re-moval in fall 2013. The agency placed him on paid administrative leave this

past December.U.S. District Judge

Ancer Haggerty sharply criticized Steele and prose-cutors in a 63-page super-visory opinion filed after Pedersen and Grigsby re-ceived life sentences ear-lier this year.

The judge wrote that Steele withheld and de-stroyed evidence and back-dated reports regarding evidence in the case. Au-thorities say the detective

also intercepted legal mail intended for Pedersen and listened to confidential jail calls between Pedersen and his attorneys.

“The most troubling as-pect of the conduct in this case is that, in large part, the government, which was aware of the problems to a substantial degree, did not alert the court of these problems of its voli-tion,” Haggerty wrote.

The alleged actions were taken in what ap-peared to be an open-and-shut case. Grigsby and Pedersen were arrested Oct. 5, 2011, outside Yuba City, Calif., when a police officer spotted them in the car of one of the victims. Grigsby told officers they were on their way to Sacra-mento to “kill more Jews,” court documents said. They also confessed to reporters in jailhouse interviews.

The problems came to light after Pedersen’s law-yers alleged discovery vi-olations during pretrial procedures . An audi -tor assigned to look into the matter quickly found disorganization and ex-pressed “some bad gut

feelings” before the issues fully surfaced.

Neither Pedersen nor Grigsby can appeal their cases. They initially faced possible death sentences, but U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder decided in February — two months after Steele was placed on leave — that he would not seek that penalty.

Pedersen gained lever-age from the botched in-vestigation, accepting a plea agreement that netted lighter sentences for a cou-ple who helped him during the killing spree. He per-sonally benefited from the deal by getting a grilled salmon dinner in jail.

At his August sentenc-ing, Pedersen said police and prosecutors must be held accountable for their actions.

“We all know what to do with me, but what of them?” he told the court.

State police said in a statement Wednesday that it has been review-ing prior cases involving Steele and is “committed to learning from this sit-uation and preventing it in the future.”

Holly Grigsby looks at her boyfriend, David “Joey” Pedersen, during a court appearance in 2011. The white supremacists were convicted after a nine-day rampage in Washington, Oregon and California.

Scientists have found that, contrary to what many people think, killing wolves does not always re-duce attacks on livestock.

Researchers at Wash-ington State University found that for every wolf killed in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming over the past 25 years, there was a 5 percent increase in the sheep and cattle killed the next year. Livestock kills only started going down after overall wolf numbers

were reduced by more than 25 percent.

The study was pub-lished Wednesday in the journal PLOS One.

The reason appears to be that killing the alpha male or female, which nor-mally keep a tight leash on other members of the pack, frees the other wolves to start breed-ing. That produces more breeding pairs. And breed-ing pairs trying to feed pups are more likely to kill livestock than indi-vidual wolves, said lead author Rob Wielgus, pro-

fessor of wildlife ecology and director of the uni-versity’s Large Carnivore Conservation Lab.

“It’s like killing the schoolteacher, the animals that keep everyone else in line,” he said. “You’ve got no brakes anymore.”

Wielgus said earlier re-search found that livestock kills by bears and cou-gars went up when dom-inant males were killed, opening their territory to out-of-control young pred-ators. But he did not ex-pect similar results with wolves, which hunt as packs and have a rigid so-cial structure.

Wielgus said the “Eu-reka!” moment came when

researchers saw that the 5 percent increase in breed-ing pairs that came with each wolf killed matched the 5 percent increase in livestock kills.

William Ripple, dis-tinguished professor of ecology at Oregon State University, said the study appeared to be important and ultimately could lead to major changes in wolf management, if it holds up.

“More research is now needed to study the num-ber of livestock killed by large carnivores when we do nothing, compared to the typical approach to killing the offending predators,” he wrote in an email.

John Pierce is chief sci-entist for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, which funded the study. Pierce said it covered a large scale, and the department was look-ing forward to research Wielgus was doing on what happens to an indi-vidual pack, where killing wolves still appears to be effective at reducing live-stock attacks, at least in the short term.

“It is a well-constructed analysis and good science,” he said. “But it kind of tees up the question of how does social behavior of wolves interplay with prey interactions, and dep-redation interactions.”

Springfield murder suspect extradited

SPRINGFIELD — A Mississippi man has been extradited to Oregon and charged with murder in the death of his partner at a Springfield motel last week.

Jonathan Paul Folks was returned to Oregon by Springfield Police Department detectives on Tuesday evening, police said. Folks is now lodged at the Lane County Jail.

Folks, 25, of Hatties burg, Miss., was arrested Saturday in that state after an ini-tial investigation by Springfield police.

The body of 46-year-old Donna Perry was found Nov. 23 at the Village Inn Motel on Mohawk Boule vard. A hotel employee discovered the body, police said.

An autopsy con-firmed that Perry was the victim of homi-cide, according to authorities. Police have declined to say how Perry was killed.

Police said Perry and Folk were shar-ing the hotel room and had traveled from Mississippi to Spring-field together to work cleanup for the Swan-son Group’s Spring-field Plywood & Veneer mill, which burned down in July.

Gunman robs sandwich shop

The Subway restau-rant at 490 W. Sixth Ave. was robbed of cash on Wednesday morning, Eugene police said.

The eatery reported that a man approached an employee, displayed a gun and demanded money from the regis-ter, police said.

The robber, about 6 feet tall, was wear-ing dark baggy pants and a black hood, and a black bandana over his face, police said. He was last seen on foot headed west on Seventh Avenue.

Police asked anyone with information about the robbery to call 541-682-5111.

Free vaccinations offered for flu, Tdap

Lane County Public Health is offering free flu and Tdap vaccina-tions today and Friday at Valley River Center in Eugene.

The county will administer 100 flu and 500 Tdap — tetanus, diptheria and pertussis — vaccines for anyone age 7 and up. The clinic will be from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. outside JC Penney at the mall.

The clinic aims to provide a convenient and affordable way for individuals and families to stay healthy through the holiday season, county officials said.

The Tdap vaccine is being funded by the Oregon Health Author-ity, and the flu vaccine is being funded by Trillium, the private for-profit group that runs the Oregon Health Plan in Lane County.

For more informa-tion, call 541-682-4041.

PORTLAND — An Ore-gon State Police detective who investigated a 2011 Northwest killing spree by a pair of white suprema-cists is expected to plead guilty to charges of forgery and official misconduct re-lated to the case, a prose-cutor said Wednesday.

Detective David Steele will enter the plea Friday at his arraignment in Sa-lem and be sentenced, Mar-ion County deputy district attorney Paige Clarkson an-nounced in a statement.

Further details of the apparent plea agreement were not available imme-diately.

Steele’s attorney, Mike Staropoli , declined to speak about what he de-scribed as an open and pending case.

The charges stemmed from Steele’s work in the case against Joey Peder-

sen and Holly Grigsby, who were convicted af-ter a nine-day rampage that claimed the lives of Peder sen’s father and step-mother in Washington, an Oregon teenager the cou-ple mistakenly thought was Jewish, and a black man in Northern California.

Steele was the lead in-vestigator until his re-moval in fall 2013. The agency placed him on paid administrative leave this

past December.U.S. District Judge

Ancer Haggerty sharply criticized Steele and prose-cutors in a 63-page super-visory opinion filed after Pedersen and Grigsby re-ceived life sentences ear-lier this year.

The judge wrote that Steele withheld and de-stroyed evidence and back-dated reports regarding evidence in the case. Au-thorities say the detective

also intercepted legal mail intended for Pedersen and listened to confidential jail calls between Pedersen and his attorneys.

“The most troubling as-pect of the conduct in this case is that, in large part, the government, which was aware of the problems to a substantial degree, did not alert the court of these problems of its voli-tion,” Haggerty wrote.

The alleged actions were taken in what ap-peared to be an open-and-shut case. Grigsby and Pedersen were arrested Oct. 5, 2011, outside Yuba City, Calif., when a police officer spotted them in the car of one of the victims. Grigsby told officers they were on their way to Sacra-mento to “kill more Jews,” court documents said. They also confessed to reporters in jailhouse interviews.

The problems came to light after Pedersen’s law-yers alleged discovery vi-olations during pretrial procedures . An audi -tor assigned to look into the matter quickly found disorganization and ex-pressed “some bad gut

feelings” before the issues fully surfaced.

Neither Pedersen nor Grigsby can appeal their cases. They initially faced possible death sentences, but U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder decided in February — two months after Steele was placed on leave — that he would not seek that penalty.

Pedersen gained lever-age from the botched in-vestigation, accepting a plea agreement that netted lighter sentences for a cou-ple who helped him during the killing spree. He per-sonally benefited from the deal by getting a grilled salmon dinner in jail.

At his August sentenc-ing, Pedersen said police and prosecutors must be held accountable for their actions.

“We all know what to do with me, but what of them?” he told the court.

State police said in a statement Wednesday that it has been review-ing prior cases involving Steele and is “committed to learning from this sit-uation and preventing it in the future.”

Holly Grigsby looks at her boyfriend, David “Joey” Pedersen, during a court appearance in 2011. The white supremacists were convicted after a nine-day rampage in Washington, Oregon and California.

Scientists have found that, contrary to what many people think, killing wolves does not always re-duce attacks on livestock.

Researchers at Wash-ington State University found that for every wolf killed in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming over the past 25 years, there was a 5 percent increase in the sheep and cattle killed the next year. Livestock kills only started going down after overall wolf numbers

were reduced by more than 25 percent.

The study was pub-lished Wednesday in the journal PLOS One.

The reason appears to be that killing the alpha male or female, which nor-mally keep a tight leash on other members of the pack, frees the other wolves to start breed-ing. That produces more breeding pairs. And breed-ing pairs trying to feed pups are more likely to kill livestock than indi-vidual wolves, said lead author Rob Wielgus, pro-

fessor of wildlife ecology and director of the uni-versity’s Large Carnivore Conservation Lab.

“It’s like killing the schoolteacher, the animals that keep everyone else in line,” he said. “You’ve got no brakes anymore.”

Wielgus said earlier re-search found that livestock kills by bears and cou-gars went up when dom-inant males were killed, opening their territory to out-of-control young pred-ators. But he did not ex-pect similar results with wolves, which hunt as packs and have a rigid so-cial structure.

Wielgus said the “Eu-reka!” moment came when

researchers saw that the 5 percent increase in breed-ing pairs that came with each wolf killed matched the 5 percent increase in livestock kills.

William Ripple, dis-tinguished professor of ecology at Oregon State University, said the study appeared to be important and ultimately could lead to major changes in wolf management, if it holds up.

“More research is now needed to study the num-ber of livestock killed by large carnivores when we do nothing, compared to the typical approach to killing the offending predators,” he wrote in an email.

John Pierce is chief sci-entist for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, which funded the study. Pierce said it covered a large scale, and the department was look-ing forward to research Wielgus was doing on what happens to an indi-vidual pack, where killing wolves still appears to be effective at reducing live-stock attacks, at least in the short term.

“It is a well-constructed analysis and good science,” he said. “But it kind of tees up the question of how does social behavior of wolves interplay with prey interactions, and dep-redation interactions.”

Springfield murder suspect extradited

SPRINGFIELD — A Mississippi man has been extradited to Oregon and charged with murder in the death of his partner at a Springfield motel last week.

Jonathan Paul Folks was returned to Oregon by Springfield Police Department detectives on Tuesday evening, police said. Folks is now lodged at the Lane County Jail.

Folks, 25, of Hatties burg, Miss., was arrested Saturday in that state after an ini-tial investigation by Springfield police.

The body of 46-year-old Donna Perry was found Nov. 23 at the Village Inn Motel on Mohawk Boule vard. A hotel employee discovered the body, police said.

An autopsy con-firmed that Perry was the victim of homi-cide, according to authorities. Police have declined to say how Perry was killed.

Police said Perry and Folk were shar-ing the hotel room and had traveled from Mississippi to Spring-field together to work cleanup for the Swan-son Group’s Spring-field Plywood & Veneer mill, which burned down in July.

Gunman robs sandwich shop

The Subway restau-rant at 490 W. Sixth Ave. was robbed of cash on Wednesday morning, Eugene police said.

The eatery reported that a man approached an employee, displayed a gun and demanded money from the regis-ter, police said.

The robber, about 6 feet tall, was wear-ing dark baggy pants and a black hood, and a black bandana over his face, police said. He was last seen on foot headed west on Seventh Avenue.

Police asked anyone with information about the robbery to call 541-682-5111.

Free vaccinations offered for flu, Tdap

Lane County Public Health is offering free flu and Tdap vaccina-tions today and Friday at Valley River Center in Eugene.

The county will administer 100 flu and 500 Tdap — tetanus, diptheria and pertussis — vaccines for anyone age 7 and up. The clinic will be from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. outside JC Penney at the mall.

The clinic aims to provide a convenient and affordable way for individuals and families to stay healthy through the holiday season, county officials said.

The Tdap vaccine is being funded by the Oregon Health Author-ity, and the flu vaccine is being funded by Trillium, the private for-profit group that runs the Oregon Health Plan in Lane County.

MATTER$

If you were unable to make the full contribution into your IRA last year, you have until April 15 to catch up. Many taxpayers don’t realize that there is an extension for previous years’ contributions. You can, for example, wait until April 15, 2016 to make contributions for the 2015 tax year.

An individual retirement ac-count is a powerful tool to save for retirement outside of an em-ployer plan. One tip is to make contributions as early in the year as you can. A year’s worth of tax-advan-taged compounding on each an-nual contribution over the course of your pre-retirement life betters your results dramatically. For example, a 35-year-old who makes the maximum annual IRA contribution every Jan. 1 ($5,500, with an extra $1,000 starting at age 50) could accumulate $582,787 after 30 years, assuming a market average growth of 7%. If that same person waits until Dec. 31 to make each annual con-

tribution, the total is $535,434, almost $47,000 less. Make contri-butions even though they are not deductible. The Internal Revenue Service sets income limits for IRA contri-butions to be tax deductible. For married couples filing jointly, for example, if your ad-justed gross income, or AGI, is higher than $116,000, you are not be able to make deductible contributions. But this doesn’t make an IRA any less valuable. The tax-deferral feature is still there, even if you are unable to deduct the contributions. And Roth IRA contributions are nev-er deductible, but the back-end non-taxable distribution feature makes up for that. Double your deduction with a non-working spouse’s IRA. Sin-gle-income couples can contribute to an IRA for both spouses. Even if only one person has an income for the year, as long as the income is within the limits, you can con-tribute to IRAs for two people. •

also intercepted legal mail intended for Pedersen and listened to confidential jail calls between Pedersen and his attorneys.

“The most troubling as-pect of the conduct in this case is that, in large part, the government, which was aware of the problems to a substantial degree, did not alert the court of these problems of its voli-tion,” Haggerty wrote.

The alleged actions were taken in what ap-peared to be an open-and-shut case. Grigsby and Pedersen were arrested Oct. 5, 2011, outside Yuba City, Calif., when a police officer spotted them in the car of one of the victims. Grigsby told officers they were on their way to Sacra-mento to “kill more Jews,” court documents said. They also confessed to reporters in jailhouse interviews.

The problems came to light after Pedersen’s law-yers alleged discovery vi-olations during pretrial procedures . An audi -tor assigned to look into the matter quickly found disorganization and ex-pressed “some bad gut

feelings” before the issues fully surfaced.

Neither Pedersen nor Grigsby can appeal their cases. They initially faced possible death sentences, but U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder decided in February — two months after Steele was placed on leave — that he would not seek that penalty.

Pedersen gained lever-age from the botched in-vestigation, accepting a plea agreement that netted lighter sentences for a cou-ple who helped him during the killing spree. He per-sonally benefited from the deal by getting a grilled salmon dinner in jail.

At his August sentenc-ing, Pedersen said police and prosecutors must be held accountable for their actions.

“We all know what to do with me, but what of them?” he told the court.

State police said in a statement Wednesday that it has been review-ing prior cases involving Steele and is “committed to learning from this sit-uation and preventing it in the future.”

Holly Grigsby looks at her boyfriend, David “Joey” Pedersen, during a court appearance in 2011. The white supremacists were convicted after a nine-day rampage in Washington, Oregon and California.

Scientists have found that, contrary to what many people think, killing wolves does not always re-duce attacks on livestock.

Researchers at Wash-ington State University found that for every wolf killed in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming over the past 25 years, there was a 5 percent increase in the sheep and cattle killed the next year. Livestock kills only started going down after overall wolf numbers

were reduced by more than 25 percent.

The study was pub-lished Wednesday in the journal PLOS One.

The reason appears to be that killing the alpha male or female, which nor-mally keep a tight leash on other members of the pack, frees the other wolves to start breed-ing. That produces more breeding pairs. And breed-ing pairs trying to feed pups are more likely to kill livestock than indi-vidual wolves, said lead author Rob Wielgus, pro-

fessor of wildlife ecology and director of the uni-versity’s Large Carnivore Conservation Lab.

“It’s like killing the schoolteacher, the animals that keep everyone else in line,” he said. “You’ve got no brakes anymore.”

Wielgus said earlier re-search found that livestock kills by bears and cou-gars went up when dom-inant males were killed, opening their territory to out-of-control young pred-ators. But he did not ex-pect similar results with wolves, which hunt as packs and have a rigid so-cial structure.

Wielgus said the “Eu-reka!” moment came when

researchers saw that the 5 percent increase in breed-ing pairs that came with each wolf killed matched the 5 percent increase in livestock kills.

William Ripple, dis-tinguished professor of ecology at Oregon State University, said the study appeared to be important and ultimately could lead to major changes in wolf management, if it holds up.

“More research is now needed to study the num-ber of livestock killed by large carnivores when we do nothing, compared to the typical approach to killing the offending predators,” he wrote in an email.

John Pierce is chief sci-entist for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, which funded the study. Pierce said it covered a large scale, and the department was look-ing forward to research Wielgus was doing on what happens to an indi-vidual pack, where killing wolves still appears to be effective at reducing live-stock attacks, at least in the short term.

“It is a well-constructed analysis and good science,” he said. “But it kind of tees up the question of how does social behavior of wolves interplay with prey interactions, and dep-redation interactions.”

Springfield murder suspect extradited

SPRINGFIELD — A Mississippi man has been extradited to Oregon and charged with murder in the death of his partner at a Springfield motel last week.

Jonathan Paul Folks was returned to Oregon by Springfield Police Department detectives on Tuesday evening, police said. Folks is now lodged at the Lane County Jail.

Folks, 25, of Hatties burg, Miss., was arrested Saturday in that state after an ini-tial investigation by Springfield police.

The body of 46-year-old Donna Perry was found Nov. 23 at the Village Inn Motel on Mohawk Boule vard. A hotel employee discovered the body, police said.

An autopsy con-firmed that Perry was the victim of homi-cide, according to authorities. Police have declined to say how Perry was killed.

Police said Perry and Folk were shar-ing the hotel room and had traveled from Mississippi to Spring-field together to work cleanup for the Swan-son Group’s Spring-field Plywood & Veneer mill, which burned down in July.

Gunman robs sandwich shop

The Subway restau-rant at 490 W. Sixth Ave. was robbed of cash on Wednesday morning, Eugene police said.

The robber, about 6 feet tall, was wear-ing dark baggy pants and a black hood, and a black bandana over his face, police said. He was last seen on foot headed west on Seventh Avenue.

Police asked anyone with information about the robbery to call 541-682-5111.

PORTLAND — An Ore-gon State Police detective who investigated a 2011 Northwest killing spree by a pair of white suprema-cists is expected to plead guilty to charges of forgery and official misconduct re-lated to the case, a prose-cutor said Wednesday.

Detective David Steele will enter the plea Friday at his arraignment in Sa-lem and be sentenced, Mar-ion County deputy district attorney Paige Clarkson an-nounced in a statement.

Further details of the apparent plea agreement were not available imme-diately.

Steele’s attorney, Mike Staropoli , declined to speak about what he de-scribed as an open and pending case.

The charges stemmed from Steele’s work in the case against Joey Peder-

sen and Holly Grigsby, who were convicted af-ter a nine-day rampage that claimed the lives of Peder sen’s father and step-mother in Washington, an Oregon teenager the cou-ple mistakenly thought was Jewish, and a black man in Northern California.

Steele was the lead in-vestigator until his re-moval in fall 2013. The agency placed him on paid administrative leave this

past December.U.S. District Judge

MATTER$

If you were unable to make the full contribution into your IRA last year, you have until April 15 to catch up. Many taxpayers don’t realize that there is an extension for previous years’ contributions. You can, for example, wait until April 15, 2016 to make contributions for the 2015 tax year.

An individual retirement ac-count is a powerful tool to save for retirement outside of an em-ployer plan. One tip is to make contributions as early in the year as you can. A year’s worth of tax-advan-taged compounding on each an-nual contribution over the course of your pre-retirement life betters your results dramatically. For example, a 35-year-old who makes the maximum annual IRA contribution every Jan. 1 ($5,500, with an extra $1,000 starting at age 50) could accumulate $582,787 after 30 years, assuming a market average growth of 7%. If that same person waits until Dec. 31 to make each annual con-

tribution, the total is $535,434, almost $47,000 less. Make contri-butions even though they are not deductible. The Internal Revenue Service sets income limits for IRA contri-butions to be tax deductible. For married couples filing jointly, for example, if your ad-justed gross income, or AGI, is higher than $116,000, you are not be able to make deductible contributions. But this doesn’t make an IRA any less valuable. The tax-deferral feature is still there, even if you are unable to deduct the contributions. And Roth IRA contributions are nev-er deductible, but the back-end non-taxable distribution feature makes up for that. Double your deduction with a non-working spouse’s IRA. Sin-gle-income couples can contribute to an IRA for both spouses. Even if only one person has an income for the year, as long as the income is within the limits, you can con-tribute to IRAs for two people. •

It’s a comfort to know that Wuergler Family Farms in Drain emphasizes the humane treatment of animals on their cus-tom-raised pork farm. Th e Wuergler’s strive to do what’s right while respecting the land and treating animals humanely to sustain local communities. “Our pigs are bred healthy in a clean environment, coming from good breeding stock with solid genetics,” say owners Steve

and Bonnie Wuergler. “We use a quali-ty feed program with whole grains and no growth hormones. “Because of our low-stress livestock handling coupled with daily inter-actions with family members, our champion quality show pigs have fi ne dispositions combining friendliness and curiosity. During farrowing (birth-ing) time it is not uncommon to pull all-nighters; pigs don’t groom their young when born, so we try to be in

the barn with every birth to insure the babies are clean and dry and at least know how to fi nd a teat in order to get their fi rst colostrum.” “Steve is on the board of Oregon Pork Producers and has served on the National Pork Board, staying on top of industry issues. Our animal care providers and our farm are Pork Quality Assurance Plus certifi ed.”

University of Oregon Coach Mark Helfrich By Kirsten Albright When he graduated from Marsh-field High School, many believed that Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich was headed for medical school and an eventual career in orthopedic surgery. Helfrich certainly was smart enough to follow his dream to become a sur-geon, having graduated from Marsh-field as salutatorian with a 3.96 GPA. Helfrich also served as his high school’s student body vice president and played on the varsity football, track, basketball and track teams. He had offers to walk on as a quar-terback at the University of Oregon or Stanford University. Instead, he en-rolled at Southern Oregon University and went on to become one of the best quarterbacks in school history. Helfrich earned NAIA All-American and first-team Columbia Football Association honors as a senior. He also set records for single-season passing yards (2,712), total offense (3,196) and touchdown passes (23), and had more than 400-yards in sin-gle-game total offense three times.

After finishing his career at South-ern Oregon, Helfrich briefly played quarterback and acted as the assistant offensive coordinator in Europe for the Vienna Austria Vikings. He then returned to Oregon to become a graduate coaching assistant under Mike Bellotti in 1997. He bounced to Boise State, Arizona State and Colorado, before finding his way back to the University of Oregon in 2009 as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under Chip Kelly. Being Kelly’s offensive coordinator is like being Peyton Manning’s backup – you’re not going to get much credit. Kelly was an offensive genius, who changed everything in the program from managing the players eating and sleeping habits to putting a vital-moni-toring device called a Catapult on every student-athlete. It seems natural that Helfrich would be doomed to living in Kelly’s shadow. Though Helfrich hasn’t overhauled the athletic department like Kelly did, it doesn’t mean that he hasn’t left his mark. What Helfrich added is a per-

sonal touch. Under Helfrich, the team culture changed from a business-like approach to a more family feel. Oregon is often referred to as one of the most tight-knit teams in the country since Helfrich took over, from the student interns to the coaches. Because of Kelly’s success, few are aware of just how lucky Oregon is to have the new coach. He set a college football record for most wins by a first year head coach and he’s only lost four out of his 28 games. He discovered and developed Marcus Mariota into Or-egon’s first Heisman Trophy Winner. And he’s done all that while being the lowest paid coach in the Pac-12, with a $2 million base salary per year. Not only has Helfrich been wildly successful, but he’s also a great match for the program. Helfrich is often quot-ed as saying the Ducks head coaching job is the pinnacle of his career. He’s the first native Oregonian to serve as the Duck’s head coach since John Warren in 1942 and, of course, grew up attend-ing Oregon football games. •

University of Oregon Student Athlete Jeff Lockie By Kirsten Albright It’s easy to overlook the backup quarterback when your starter is someone as special as Mar-cus Mariota. Jeff Lockie, a 6’2” 200-pound redshirt sophomore, has usually been relegated to being the team play caller, scout team leader and garbage time quarter-back. While most players would be jealous of the first string quarter-back, Lockie has only expressed gratitude to have been given the chance to learn from Mariota. During their time together at Oregon the two have become close friends. Lockie has often said that Mariota has taught him how to manage a game and become a better quarterback. He didn’t only learn how to run an offense from Mariota – he

picked up volunteering from the star player, too. Mariota invited him along to the Boys & Girls Club of the Emerald Valley, where both quarterbacks volunteered every week during the off season. Oregon football players usually start out volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club as part of the Uni-versity of Oregon athletic depart-ment’s O Heroes program, which helps match student-athletes with volunteering opportunities. Lockie frequently volunteers at the Greenhill Humane Society and at the RiverBend Pediatric Unit. This year Lockie also joined 20 fellow student-athletes and University of Oregon athletic de-partment staff members on a ser-vice trip to Nicaragua. The Ducks helped to build a multi-sport court that will serve as a venue for

community and athletic events. It’s clear that Lockie has a strong interest in giving back to the community and helping peo-ple, particularly youth. “I want to continue to partici-pate in service trips as well as start a foundation of my own,” Lockie said. Lockie plans on obtaining his MBA after graduating with de-grees in Sports Management and Business Administration. The Oregon Club of Eugene/Springfield was founded in 1947 with the singular purpose of finan-cially and otherwise supporting Oregon Athletics. Oregon Club events feature weekly Q&A’s with the coaches, golf tour-naments and the annual Big Green Benefit Auction.

We joined the ranks of grand-parents just this last month. It was pretty exciting and has brought us a new photography challenge. Newborns are wonderful and amazing. And they sleep. A lot. They are also very small and don’t take up much of a photo frame. It can make taking interesting pictures difficult. Here are some things that can help you get great shots of the new-borns in your life: • Be prepared for him/her to wake up. If you take a few shots while they’re asleep, you will be able to test the lighting and adjust your cam-

era accordingly. Then when they’re awake, you can make the most of your short window of time to get some photos (with eyes open, if you prefer). • Get close. Be right in near the little one’s face so that most of the frame is full. A quality lens and good lighting eliminates the need for a flash. • Concentrate on photos of important people holding the child. A sleeping baby photo is okay, but special family members holding a sleeping baby tells stories. Concen-trate on faces and hands and get in close. Close up creates a sense of intimacy between the child and the holder. • Avoid harsh lighting and flash. • Be careful using props. Be sure to consider safety and comfort first before taking pictures with props. Also be aware that props can over-whelm your picture. • Finally, be patient. Remember, today isn’t the only day you have to get pictures. Soon that newborn will be a few months old and stay-ing awake for longer periods. Each

day the personality will peek out. Have fun with your newborn. We hope you get some nice pictures but never forget that time spent behind a camera is time spent away from interacting with your family. Put down the camera and get some personal snuggle time with the child. Lifeslice Photography is a hus-band and wife team that specializes in location portraiture, weddings, family life portraits, high school senior portraits, pets, events and a lot more. Other features are: DVD with copyright release, no travel charge for weddings in Ore-gon and SW Washington, unlim-ited touch ups, password protect-ed online galleries AND tons of creative photo ideas that will move you, thrill you, and sometimes make you laugh! We are based in Springfield Ore-gon. We are always anxious to talk photography and answer questions. Phone: 541-914-7977 Email: [email protected] www.lifeslicephotography.com

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

EUGENE –

Eugene is named after its founder, Eugene Franklin Skinner. Until 1889, it was named Eugene City. In

1846, Skinner erected the first cabin in the area.[15] It was used as a trading post and was registered as an

official post office on January 8, 1850. At this time the settlement was known as Skinner’s Mudhole. It was

relocated in 1853 and named Eugene City,but was not formally incorporated as a city until 1862.

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well. They carry dog houses, horse turn-out blankets, dog sweaters, stock tank deicers, and of course feed for just about every animal under the sun (or rain)! This is also the time to stock up on wood pellets for your winter heating. Junction City Farm & Garden only stocks premium wood pellets; Packsaddle, Golden Fire, and Bear Mountain. Save your back and call for a price to having them delivered.” Don’t get caught out in the cold this winter-

Shop early . . . Shop local!

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year.

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well. They carry dog houses, horse turn-out blankets, dog sweaters, stock tank deicers, and of course feed for just about every animal under the sun (or rain)! This is also the time to stock up on wood pellets for your winter heating. Junction City Farm & Garden only stocks premium wood pellets; Packsaddle, Golden Fire, and Bear Mountain. Save your back and call for a price to having them delivered.” Don’t get caught out in the cold this winter-

Shop early . . . Shop local!

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well.

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well. They carry dog houses, horse turn-out blankets, dog sweaters, stock tank deicers, and of course feed for just about every animal under the sun (or rain)! This is also the time to stock up on wood pellets for your winter heating. Junction City Farm & Garden only stocks premium wood pellets; Packsaddle, Golden Fire, and Bear Mountain. Save your back and call for a price to having them delivered.” Don’t get caught out in the cold this winter-

Shop early . . . Shop local!

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well.

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well. They carry dog houses, horse turn-out blankets, dog sweaters, stock tank deicers, and of course feed for just about every animal under the sun (or rain)! This is also the time to stock up on wood pellets for your winter heating. Junction City Farm & Garden only stocks premium wood pellets; Packsaddle, Golden Fire, and Bear Mountain. Save your back and call for a price to having them delivered.” Don’t get caught out in the cold this winter-

Shop early . . . Shop local!

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well. They carry dog houses, horse turn-out blankets, dog sweaters, stock tank deicers, and of course feed for just about every animal under the sun (or rain)! This is also the time to stock up on wood pellets for your winter heating. Junction City Farm & Garden only stocks premium wood pellets; Packsaddle, Golden Fire, and Bear Mountain. Save your back and call for a price to having them delivered.” Don’t get caught out in the cold this winter-

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well. They carry dog houses, horse turn-out blankets, dog sweaters, stock tank deicers, and of course feed for just about every animal under the sun (or rain)! This is also the time to stock up on wood pellets for your winter heating. Junction City Farm & Garden only stocks premium wood pellets; Packsaddle, Golden Fire, and Bear Mountain. Save your back and call for a price to having them delivered.” Don’t get caught out in the cold this winter-

Shop early . . . Shop local!

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year.

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well. They carry dog houses, horse turn-out blankets, dog sweaters, stock tank deicers, and of course feed for just about every animal under the sun (or rain)! This is also the time to stock up on wood pellets for your winter heating. Junction City Farm & Garden only stocks premium wood pellets; Packsaddle, Golden Fire, and Bear Mountain. Save your back and call for a price to having them delivered.” Don’t get caught out in the cold this winter-

Shop early . . . Shop local!

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well.

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well. They carry dog houses, horse turn-out blankets, dog sweaters, stock tank deicers, and of course feed for just about every animal under the sun (or rain)! This is also the time to stock up on wood pellets for your winter heating. Junction City Farm & Garden only stocks premium wood pellets; Packsaddle, Golden Fire, and Bear Mountain. Save your back and call for a price to having them delivered.” Don’t get caught out in the cold this winter-

Shop early . . . Shop local!

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well.

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well. They carry dog houses, horse turn-out blankets, dog sweaters, stock tank deicers, and of course feed for just about every animal under the sun (or rain)! This is also the time to stock up on wood pellets for your winter heating. Junction City Farm & Garden only stocks premium wood pellets; Packsaddle, Golden Fire, and Bear Mountain. Save your back and call for a price to having them delivered.” Don’t get caught out in the cold this winter-

Shop early . . . Shop local!

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

Cooler Weather Is Coming! “Now is the time to start thinking about new winter clothes and warm winter boots. Junction City Farm & Garden offers clothes for men, women, and children. “Our Carhartt clothing line is always expanding” says owner Marci Wodtli, “and we have dozens of styles of Bogs, Georgia, and Muck Boots.” With the rainy weather on its way, now is the time to shop for the perfect boot to keep your feet warm and dry. It’s “back to school” time for the kids. Carhartt kids dungaree pants are a great choice for any time of year. Junction City Farm & Garden has what you need this fall for your livestock and pets as well. They carry dog houses, horse turn-out blankets, dog sweaters, stock tank deicers, and of course feed for just about every animal under the sun (or rain)! This is also the time to stock up on wood pellets for your winter heating. Junction City Farm & Garden only stocks premium wood pellets; Packsaddle, Golden Fire, and Bear Mountain. Save your back and call for a price to having them delivered.” Don’t get caught out in the cold this winter-

THANK YOU ALL Who Made Our Sale-A-Bration Such a Success

When the weather warms, the pests get active. Your home is made out of wood—ants like wood to make their nests, termites like wood to eat, and powder post beetles chew holes in wood. All of these pests will destroy the structural integrity, and therefore the value, of your home. They may already be munching away as you are reading this article. Fortunately, Randy Thom, owner of Castaway, is a local pest control technician who has been in the pest business since 1983. He will inspect your home and tell you if any of these destructive pests are at work. And, he will offer you solutions. “I own my own company because I care about my customers,” Thom said. “I feel that larger companies often have methods that don’t always serve the customer well; such as having a separate salesperson quoting a job and having a technician coming behind and trying to follow the quote. With me, I will inspect the job and then quote and treat accurately.”

What Our Advertisers Are Saying“I have gotten great name recognition by having an ad with the Connection over the past three years. The last edition’s special article, ‘Batman Visits Triangle Lake’, got me a job within just a few days of the magazine’s release. I even got a call from Portland from a friend who recognized my picture on the front cover. It shows that people even outside the Connection’s delivery area are interested in this magazine.”Randy Tolle of Eden Pest Control page 26

“I have maintained my customers within my local area by staying in the Oregon Community Connection. My cus-tomers read my computer tips and know when to be con-cerned about viruses as well as are informed about the latest in computer technology from my service point-of-view. The Connection gets it done for me.”David Rohde, owner of R Computer page 26

There is so much, you need to see to understand.

Simply put, Paradise Springs offers an unmatched locale that combines

rugged comfort with a touch of feminine elegance.

The Lodge— From the parking lot there is a short path through ferns and native Oregon plants—the beauty is in-toxicating—and then you arrive at the Lodge. It is a 2,400 sq. ft. classy cabin that is great for a weekend retreat or a private location to pre-pare for your wedding. It also has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen, laundry room, located near the Hall and is ADA accessible. Rent for any occasion. Spa packages available.

The Hall—Entering the Hall is like going back in time when wood was king of building materials. Your eyes are

pulled to solid wood beams hold-ing up a vaulted ceiling, then the wood trim that surrounds multiple large windows, and then the native wood floor. All began their jour-ney to here from the Hull Oakes Lumber Co. just north of Monroe. All lend a warmth to any gathering that is held here.The Lodge also has a full commer-cial kitchen, flatware for 200, an integrated audio visual system and a wrap-around patio that overlooks a koi pond. The Gazebo—Watching a couple step up onto the main floor of the Gazebo and share their vows is a privilege not to be forgotten. The Bridge—Standing above water, looking at koi, seeing the rustic waterwheel turn, and being mesmerized by watching the ripples—settles the mind and gives peace to the soul.
