CARA PALLONEThe News-Review

INSTON — A critterkitchen, a new babylion, a giraffe squeezeand a possible slot onthe television show

“Animal Planet” have the staff atWildlife Safari excited for the com-ing year.

More notable, said Safari’sExecutive Director Dan Van Slyke,is the park’s continued stability,which can be attributed in part toinnovative ideas such as the elephantcar wash that made national newsand attracted hundreds of new visi-tors to the park during spring break.The wash will be offered this sum-mer, as well.

Van Slyke said profit was up 66percent over last year’s spring break,something he attributes to that“warm and fuzzy aspect” of placessuch as Wildlife Safari.

Some of the fuzzier aspects guestsmight notice this summer are a 3-

year-old Seattle giraffe namedKipande — whom Van Slyke said isjust getting used to his new sur-roundings — and a 1-year-oldfemale Los Angeles lion, whoarrived in March.

Sarabi the lion is the first half ofthe lion breeding program staff ishoping to introduce to WildlifeSafari.

Thanks to a little help from com-munity partners, a Critter Café willalso debut at Safari.

The $10,000 project will provideample information about animals’ecosystems and diets.

In a small facility in the SafariVillage, park patrons will be able to

watch through a glass window askeepers prepare meals for the ani-mals.

Van Slyke said the project willanswer the most common questionfrom the park’s youngest visitors:What do the animals eat?

Another $20,000 project is underway that could potentially save thelives of some of Safari’s animals.

Mary Iida, the ungulates supervi-sor, said a giraffe squeeze, which isa chute that confines larger animals,will make it easier for veterinariansand keepers to groom and administermedical treatment to the creatures.

Iida said anesthetics are risky, andthere is a 50 percent chance the ani-mal could die during a simple proce-dure such as foot trimming or eyecare.

Aside from the new projects andanimals, summer visitors may alsocatch a glimpse of a film crew cap-turing the park’s wildest moments. A13-part series may end up on the tel-evision channel Animal Planet.

According to Van Slyke, aCalifornia film crew is currently put-ting together a pilot program that itwill pitch to the producers of“Animal Planet.”

Van Slyke said the crew will befilming and interviewing over thenext couple of months.

The series on Wildlife Safari willnot only feature the creatures in thepark, but the staff as well.

Van Slyke said the film crewwants to attend staff meetings andinterview the animal keepers to givethe show that “reality TV” feel.

Blipo the hippopotamus snacks on fruit in his pond at Wildlife Safari in Winston,


The history of Roseburg haslong been tied to the rise andfall of the railroad that stillruns through the center of

town.With a population of more than

21,000, the city is the county seat ofDouglas County. It is nestled amongscrub oak hills along the SouthUmpqua River.

Blessed with the mild weather ofSouthern Oregon’s “banana belt,” thecity has a history older than the stateof Oregon.

Jesse Applegate, Levi Scott andother pioneers first blazed a paththrough Roseburg in 1846. Known asthe Applegate Trail, it followed Win-chester, Jackson and Main streets.

The trail became U.S. Highway 99in 1926, part of a link that stretchedfrom Mexico to Canada. Today, Inter-state 5 has succeeded U.S. 99, andruns south to north through the middleof the city.

Platted in 1851 by Aaron Rose,Roseburg grew with the rise of therailroad in 1887. It served as a switch-ing point on the Oregon & CaliforniaRailroad, and later the main line of theSouthern Pacific railroad from SanFrancisco to Portland.

The main line was moved to theother side of the Cascades in 1927, butlocal passenger service continued until1951. Today the city is home to theCentral Oregon & Pacific Railroad, asmall freight line.

The old railway station, at 700 S.E.Sheridan St., is now a pub run byMcMenamins of Portland. Proprietorshave decorated the interior with an eyeto local heritage and an eclectic mix ofchandeliers.

When the railroad all but left townin 1927, Roseburg almost went under.Combined with the stock market crashof 1929, a depression loomed over thecity.

But the city received a shot in thearm with the arrival of the VeteransAffairs Hospital in the 1930s. AfterWorld War II, a nationwide housingboom opened up the forests of theUmpqua Watershed for logging.

Roseburg expanded west along Har-vard Avenue, the old Coos Bay WagonRoad, and north of the river into theHucrest neighborhood in the 1950s.

But then came Aug. 7, 1959. A 2

1/2-ton van holding diesel fuel, groundwalnut shells, prilled ammoniumnitrate and 400 pounds of dynamitecaught fire and set off a massiveexplosion.

The Blast, as it’s now called, leveledbusinesses, decimated downtownRoseburg and killed 14 people. Itinjured more than 100 others andcaused $10 million in damage.

Tourists and residents today can takeself-guided walking tours to learnabout the catastrophe, the third-dead-liest disaster in state history. Tourbrochures are available at the Rose-burg Visitor Center, 410 S.E. SpruceSt.

Roseburg’s downtown was changedforever, and many of the buildings ofRoseburg’s early days are gone.

But other sites remain, including theFloed-Lane house at 544 S.E. DouglasAve. It is the only surviving structureassociated with Gen. Joseph Lane, apioneer soldier and statesman.

The namesake of Lane County to thenorth, Lane was the Oregon Territory’sdelegate to Congress from 1851 to

1859 and the state’s first elected U.S.senator from 1859 to 1861.

The Floed-Lane House is maintainedby the Douglas County HistoricalSociety. Visitors are welcome from 1to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays or byappointment.

Other historic buildings in the cityinclude the neoclassical DouglasCounty Courthouse at 1036 S.E. Dou-glas Ave., built in 1929. In 1955, addi-tions were built on each end of thestructure. The Justice Building, facedin marble, was built at the rear in1977.

The city also has three historic dis-tricts. They include Laurelwood,which sits behind Roseburg HighSchool; the city’s downtown, in thesoutheast part of Roseburg; and theMill-Pine District, a neighborhoodfounded by railroad workers in thedays of the Southern Pacific switch-yard.

A descriptive brochure of historictours of Roseburg homes and buildingsis available at the Roseburg VisitorCenter.

CARA PALLONEThe News-Review

CANYONVILLE — The $40 mil-lion expansion of Seven FeathersHotel and Casino is slated for com-pletion just in time for summer

travelers.According to general manager Boomer

Schoneboom, the 154 new hotel rooms and250-seat buffet will open in June. The RiverRock Day Spa and coffee bar will be avail-able to weary motorists by August.

The hotel, owned by the Cow Creek Bandof Umpqua Tribe of Indians, has been oper-ating in excess of 90 percent occupancy thepast five years, Schoneboom said. Longwaits at the current 24-hour restaurant andturning away hundreds of reservationsprompted plans for the expansion.

In January, Seven Feathers laid off 51employees, proving that casinos are notrecession-proof. Schoneboom said the hoteladdition will furnish 79 jobs.

“We’ll be able to refill those 51, plusanother 28,” Schoneboom said.

At a news conference last year, the expan-sion was described as a finished product thatwould be clean and simple, but leave a verystrong impression of quality.

The colors will be natural — tan, beigeand sandy brown, forest green and lightturquoise. The new suites will cost patronsbetween $175 and $225 per night and willbe 600 square feet with two 42-inch plasmaTVs in each room, a wet bar and jetted hottubs.

The 7,000-square-foot River Rock spawill offer everything from manicures andpedicures to body wraps, massages andfacials. A wet and dry sauna, a soaking tubwith a rain shower and a sunless spray tan-ning booth top off the creature comforts.

Guests will be welcome to sip cham-pagne in terry cloth robes while they are

pampered.Schoneboom said The Gathering Place, a

250-seat buffet restaurant will offer choicesof Spanish, Italian, American, Mediter-ranean and Asian food, along with salad anddessert islands.

Other highlights include two outdoorcourtyards, an expanded video arcade,increased housekeeping facilities and, mostimportant, a glass walkway connecting thehotel to the game floor.

The addition was expected to open inMarch, but because of weather and unfore-seen general construction delays, that datewas pushed back to June, Schoneboom said.

He added that finishing the expansion is“the main focus right now.”

The Rock ’n’ Rollin’ PancakeBreakfast and the Graffiti Dragsare no longer unofficial eventsof Graffiti Weekend.

Those two events were popular enoughin their debuts last year that they are nowofficially on the week’s lineup.

This year’s 28th annual Graffiti Week-end is scheduled for July 8-12 in Rose-burg.

Last year’s drag event drew about 50cars on Sunday. This year the drags willbe held Saturday evening at the DouglasCounty Speedway.

“We didn’t expect that many, but all ofa sudden it took hold,” said Don Larsen,a member of the Stray Angels Car Cluband a co-coordinator of the Graffitiweek. “It’ll be another place for cars andpeople to go on Saturday night. They’llhave a place to cruise and a place torace.”

The Umpqua Flatheads RoseburgGraffiti Night Cruise for vehicles 1965and older is scheduled for 6 to 10 p.m.The speedway gates will open at 6:30p.m. and the track will open to drag rac-ing at 7 p.m.

Larsen said there has been some con-cern by organizers about participants andattendance for Graffiti Weekend becauseof economic struggles for some people

and businesses, but he said he’s opti-mistic about the event continuing to be asuccess.

“We’re concerned, but we’re still get-ting a lot of phone calls so we’re stillexpecting a full house,” Larsen said.“These events treat people well, it does-n’t cost them an arm and a leg. Peoplecan participate with a donation here andthere. We’re happy it keeps goingstrong.”

Last year’s registration totaled 439cars that were pre-1975 models. About70 percent of the registered cars comefrom out of the area.

Graffiti Weekend was first an ideaback in 1982. It evolved into reliving the’50s by cruising some classic cars downHarvard Avenue in Roseburg. Now, eachsummer, hundreds gather downtown tojoin the founders of the Graffiti NightCruise in remembering a simpler time.

Since those early days, the cruise hasgrown into one of Douglas County’smost noteworthy events, five dayschock-full of hot rods, barbecues andother family entertainment known asGraffiti Weekend.

One of those events is the 26th AnnualRiver Forks Show-n-Shine, another high-light of the week, presented by the StrayAngels Car Club. Some 500 cars, all atleast more than three decades old, willrumble into River Forks Park west ofRoseburg for a day of display in the sun.

New events include a new poker run at

Ray’s Food Place in Green and a Graffitikickoff show at the Roseburg VeteransAffairs Medical Center.

Organizers for the Graffiti NightCruise are also trying something new thisyear, opening the cruise to vehicles 1965and older, instead of the traditional 1960and older.

Osborn said the event is made possibleby several sponsors and donations from

local businesses, with Cascade Commu-nity Credit Union this year’s major spon-sor.

“It’s a real joint venture between thecommunity,” he said. “And it’s a big shotin the arm for the town.”

“We feel pretty proud of it,” Larsensaid. “We want it to be an affordablefamily event.”

“There’s gotta be some 10-pounders outthere!”

That’s the optimistic viewpoint of RickRockholt while looking ahead to a sum-mer and fall of fishing at Diamond Lake,touted as the “Gem of the Cascades.”

Rockholt, the marketing director at theDiamond Lake Resort, said fishing in2008 was fantastic after a slow start due toan ice cover. It wasn’t until Memorial DayWeekend that the ice finally turned overand then good fishing was enjoyedthrough the fishery’s closure on Oct. 31.Rockholt said “five-fish limits were therule for most of last season with nice fishup to four to five pounds,” and he isexpecting the good fishing to continuethrough 2009.

This year’s opening day was April 25,but the ice wasn’t expected to disappearuntil about mid-May.

Rockholt explained that there is carry-over of rainbow trout from previousstockings: 80,000 8- to 25-inch fish and6,000 25-inch fish in 2007, and 80,000 8-to 18-inch fish and 200,000 fingerlingslast year. It’s those big stockers thathaven’t been caught that give Rockholtreason to believe there are some 10-pounders in the lake that is 85 miles eastof Roseburg.

Although fishing has been good duringeach of the past two years, the OregonDepartment of Fish and Wildlife estimatesthere are 165,000 trout measuring over 12inches remaining in the lake. More finger-lings are scheduled to be stocked this year.

Most people fishing at the lake usePower Bait, with chartreuse and fluores-cent orange colors being most popular.Other options are nightcrawlers or trollingwith Ford Fenders with either a small lureor worm.

Rockholt said fly fishing should alsoprove to be productive as fingerlings that

were stocks at three to four inches lastyear should now be 13 to 15 inches andshould know how to forage for food.

Diamond Lake continues to recoversince undergoing the largest fisheriesrestoration project ever undertaken by theOregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.The agency in 2006 joined the U.S. ForestService and other state and federal agen-cies to mix more than 100,000 pounds ofrotenone into the lake and choke out thenon-native tui chub.

In anticipation of preventing futurealgae blooms — or the possible introduc-tion of tui chub again or another non-native species — the U.S. Forest Serviceand the ODFW are requesting all boatersto wash their crafts and trailers before vis-iting Diamond Lake. Interpretive signs areplaced around the lake, explaining thethreat of invasive species, and there willalso be a large presence of agency work-ers to answer visitors’ questions.

Also be on the lookout for a mobileboat washer at landings before launchingyour vessel.

The annual free fishing weekend — nolicense required — will be held June 6and 7, with Derby Day on the 6th andkids’ prizes awarded for the biggest fish.

The third annual Blackbird FishingDerby is scheduled for June 27. Last year

there were 800 entries, but officials areexpecting about 1,000 this year with theprice of fuel being less than in 2008. Lastyear, a 4 3/4-pound trout won the $1,000first prize. Cash prizes are also presentedfor the top 10 big fish.

Diamond Lake Lodge will host itsannual Independence Day celebrationwith games, live music and activities onJuly 4. Fireworks will be shot off over thelake beginning at 10 p.m.

Other events scheduled for the resortinclude the Oregon Wild Turkey Federa-

tion State Convention on July 11 and aSquare Dance Festival July 22 to 25.

For bicycling enthusiasts, an 11-milepaved path circles the lake and provides apopular ride.

Besides the resort, there are also 450Forest Service campsites. The majority,300, are available to campers on a first-come, first-served basis.

Crater Lake, the deepest lake in thecountry, lies 106 miles east of Rose-burg, just across the county line inKlamath County.

Oregon’s one and only national park,Crater Lake National Park may be reached byheading east from Roseburg on Highway138.

Although long revered by the KlamathIndians, the lake was not seen by white menuntil 1853, when gold prospectors stumbledupon it. Isaac Skeeters dubbed it “Deep BlueLake.”

According to the U.S. Geological Survey,newspaperman Jim Sutton gave the lake itspresent name in 1869. But he did not name itfor the large caldera of the old volcano,Mount Mazama, which rims the lake. Henamed it for the crater atop Wizard Island, themini-volcano in the middle of the lake.

President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimedthe lake America’s fifth national park in 1905.

At a depth of 1,943 feet, Crater Lake is thedeepest lake in the nation and the seventh-deepest in the world.

The lake was formed about 7,700 yearsago after 12,000-foot Mount Mazama erupt-ed, an explosion 42 times greater than the1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Thecaldera that formed after the volcano eruptedhas since filled with about 4.6 trillion gallonswater, fed by an average annual snowfall of533 inches.

WHAT TO SEE AND DOTwo visitor centers offer information on

park attractions and programs. The Steel Visi-tor Center, four miles north of Highway 62, isopen daily year-round, except on ChristmasDay; summer hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.Phone: (541) 594-3100.

The Rim Visitor Center, seven miles northof Highway 62, is open 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.daily from late May to late September. Park

information is available online atwww.nps.gov/crla.

The park has more than 90 miles of trailsfor hikers, skiers and snowshoers to explore.Trails are generally snow-free from mid-Julythrough October, said Don Clark, a parkranger.

Hiking opportunities range from the gentlysloping one-mile Godfrey Glen trail, one oftwo handicap-accessible trails, to the rigorousfive-mile round trip up Mount Scott, the high-est point in the park, to 33 miles of the PacificCrest Trail.

There’s only one way to the surface of thelake: the strenuous, 1.1-mile-long CleetwoodTrail on the northeast corner of the rim. Ittakes two hours to get down to the lake andback up again, and the trail drops 700 feet ina mile.

From the bottom of the trail, boat rides areavailable around the lake at 10 a.m., 11 a.m.noon, 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. daily, tentatively

starting July 2 through mid-September. Toursleave at 9:55 a.m. and 1 p.m. daily that droppeople at Wizard Island for a three-hour peri-od and then pick them up to tour the lake.

Visitors may fish at the lake, stocked withfish decades ago. Kokanee salmon and rain-bow trout took to the lake and reproduce. Nolicense is required, there’s no limit, andthere’s no season.

Private boats are not allowed on the lake.People must fish from the shore, either fromthe Cleetwood Cove docks or from WizardIsland.

Fishing in the park’s streams is availablebut limited to help preserve the bull trout. Allpark waters are restricted to the use of artifi-cial lures and flies.

Bike rentals are not available in the park,but the 33-mile Rim Drive is popular withcyclists. The drive circles the crater and offers20 scenic vantage points. The rim will bereserved for runners Aug. 8 for the annual

Rim Run.From the end of October to late May, the

park may only be accessed from the southentrance off Highway 62. But sometime inJune, the north entrance opens off of High-way 138. The full rim drive normally opensin July. But as the park has had less snowthan normal this winter, the rim drive couldopen by late June or early July, Clark said.

Park admission is $10 per car. Annual pass-es are available for $20, and $50 passes for allnational parks also are available.

Park admission is free during the winter,providing snowshoers, cross-country skiersand snowboarders recreational opportunities.

During the winter season, rangers lead freenature tours on snowshoes to explain howanimals, trees and humans adapt to the chillyclimate. Snowshoes are provided.

The tours are at 1 p.m. Saturdays and Sun-days. They are limited to 30 people a tour; theminimum age is 8 years. To reserve a space,call (541) 594-3100 or sign up at Steel VisitorCenter when you get to the park.

Nine marked cross-country ski trails areavailable to skiers of all skill levels. No rentalfacilities exist at the park for skiers and snow-shoers.

WHERE TO STAY AND DINECrater Lake Lodge, a classic, Swiss-style

alpine inn, sits just off the south rim. It will beopen this year from May 20 through Oct. 11,and rooms range from $151 to $206 a night.Visitors should book well in advance, as thelodge fills quickly.

The lodge offers gourmet meals for break-fast, lunch and dinner during the season.Reservations are required for dinners, whichare first reserved for overnight guests.

The nearby Rim Village Cafe and GiftShop serves lighter meals. It is open dailyyear-round and generally from 9 a.m. to 8p.m. in the summer.

Forty cabins are available at Mazama Vil-lage, seven miles south of the rim, for $126 anight from May 29 to Sept. 27.

HISTORIC DRIVES

ake a trip back to a simplertime and explore the depths ofDouglas County’s countrycharm. Highways and lesser-known back roads take travel-

ers past prime locations for outdoorrecreation, from gold-panning to fishingto wildflower picking.

Here are just a few of the many high-lights:

Rogue-Umpqua National Scenic BywayThis 172-mile route leaves the Interstate 5 cor-

ridor behind, taking travelers along the NorthUmpqua River to the far eastern reaches ofDouglas County, past Lemolo Lake and DiamondLake, by Mount Bailey and Mount Thielsen, andto the Rogue Valley.

From Roseburg, travel east along Highway138 — also known as the North UmpquaHighway — to Glide, where the North Umpquaand Little River converge at Colliding Rivers.There, the highway begins to parallel the NorthUmpqua — the stream former Gov. JohnKitzhaber fished for steelhead during his days asa Roseburg emergency room physician. The riveralso attracts its share of whitewater rafters andkayakers.

Under a canopy of fir trees, the route climbsdeep into the Umpqua National Forest pastSwiftwater Park, Toketee Reservoir and severaldramatic rock outcroppings, such as Eagle Rockand Old Man Rock. Misty waterfalls, such as

Susan Creek Falls, Toketee Falls and the 272-footWatson Falls, await those who take the well-marked trails that dot the route.

Lemolo Lake, with more than eight miles ofshoreline, is located four miles north of Highway138 and is a haven for fishing, boating and camp-ing. The scenic byway then swings around theeast side of Diamond Lake, nestled betweenMount Bailey and the lightning-rod spire, MountThielsen.

Although not officially a part of the byway,nearby Crater Lake offers a short side trip travel-ers should consider. A 33-mile drive around RimDrive provides access to numerous overlooksand wayside exhibits. The byway route can beeasily picked up west of the south entrance to thenational park.

Oregon 230 follows the Rogue River andmerges with Oregon 62 near historic UnionCreek district, known for its depiction of rustic1930s Civilian Conservation Corps architecture.Stop at the Rogue Gorge and Natural Bridgeinterpretive sites to see the river thunderingthrough deep, narrow chasms and flowing under-ground into lava tubes.

The scenic byway heads west on Oregon 234past Table Rock and meets the Rogue River, offi-cially ending in Gold Hill. To complete the loop,Interstate 5 returns travelers north about 90 moremiles to Roseburg.

Cow Creek Back Country BywayForty-three miles of county roads travel

through rural and forest settings to make up thisbyway. The roads parallel scenic Cow Creek andportions of the Central Oregon and PacificRailroad, which exists on some of the originalO&C railroad grade.

The BLM road passes the Cow CreekRecreational Gold Panning Area — an area opento the public for gold panning — and offers viewsof early 1900s rail tunnels and bridges. The road-way crosses Cow Creek at its junction withMiddle Creek and turns into the 33-7-2.0 road asit heads toward Glendale and County Road 27.

To reach the start of the byway, take Interstate 5to Exit 103 at Tri City; travel west on CountyRoads 20, 263 and 39 to BLM’s Cow CreekRoad (30-6-32.0).

Myrtle Creek-Canyonville Tour Route This seasonal 68-mile historic and scenic loop

takes visitors by historical homes and towns andoffers breathtaking views of the Rogue-UmpquaDivide Wilderness. Dahlias are particularly beauti-ful in the spring along this route, while the colorspop in the fall. Maps and brochures detailing thetour route are available at visitors informationcenters in Myrtle Creek, Canyonville and Riddleor at the Tiller Ranger Station, which is listed onthe National Register of Historic Places.

Devils Knob RoadDevils Knob Road was built by the Civilian

Conservation Corps in the 1930s to improveaccess to guard stations and fire lookoutsbetween Drew and Abbott Butte in the TillerRanger District of the Umpqua National Forest.

Travelers along the route today can see his-toric points of interest such as remnants of theDrew CCC camp and the Summit Guard Stationand other lookout sites. The first 21 miles ofDevils Knob Road are gravel-surfaced, but ninemiles are original dirt roads of the 1930s, requir-ing vehicles with high clearance.

Devils Knob Road begins at the junction ofCounty Road 1 and Forest Service Road 1610,4.2 miles south of Tiller. The Tiller Ranger Stationhas a museum with information on the CCC andthe historic sites along Devils Knob Road.

Historic drives showcase Douglas County’s charmT


Take a drive along the North UmpquaRiver and you’ll often notice fishermen,whitewater rafters and kayakers.

JOBS

PUTTING OREGON BACK TO WORKThis summer you’ll see a lot of orange on Oregon’s highways. With passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Oregon Department of Transportation will undertake its busiest construction season in decades. ARRA provides $46.5 million for projects in southwest Oregon and the Rogue Valley, over 20 percent of the $224 million allocated statewide. About 14 family-wage jobs are sustained for every $1 million spent on transportation construction in Oregon. This year in Coos, Curry and Douglas counties, ODOT will administer about 20 projects, half of which are funded in whole or in part by ARRA. Most project sites will require lane closures and brief delays. So when you see orange this summer, slow down. Oregonians are getting back to work.
