Frontier Heritage Park groundbreaking

The Ford Foundation Cohort II is revving up to install new play-ground equipment in the newly named Frontier Heritage Park. The park area is located south of the La Pine Library. Phase one of the park re-newal includes a new swingset, landscaping, rock climb, kiosk, event sign, and the archway which you see in the photo to the right. This was built by donated labor from John Thomas, and other volunteers. The Friends of the La Pine Library have recently awarded a $5,000 grant to the project. This money will be used to pur-

Numbers are up and the pantry is nearly empty at the Community Kitchen these days. In an interview with Chris Riggs, she disclosed that a year ago they were serving an average of 60 people a day in their café. Now the numbers are averaging over 100 lunches every day (that is an increase of 80%) and she explained that they don’t have enough food in the pantry to help the people who come in for food on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays!

With 19 available lots, money for builds and people who need a break when it comes to home ownership, you would think that there would be a line of perspective homeowners waiting to fill these Habitat Homes, but, no! That is not what is happening! In an interview with Randy Heise, Executive Director of Newberry Habitat for Humanity, he told the Eagle that it has been very difficult to get qualified families to take the houses. Right now,

City Needs Public Works Committee People The City of La Pine is actively taking the next steps toward acquiring the Water and Sewer Districts, as part of the incorporation from 2006, by forming a new Public Works Committee. The City plans to “assume the responsibilities, duties, and manage-ment of the Districts” by the end of this year.

The newly forming Public Works Committee will take the place of the La Pine Utilities Committee, which will dissolve during 2012. It will act as an advisory com-mittee to the City Council on general public works related matters. The committee will consist of seven voting members that will also develop the Public Work’s plan for La Pine’s future. They are: Planning Commission Representative (Doug Ward), Chamber of Commerce Representative, a City Council Representative, two public at large, and two residents – each from separate neighborhoods in La Pine (North, Central, South). The last two members are what the city needs to fill the vacant slots in the committee.

To apply for the vacancy or to read the original Business Consolidation Plan from March of this year, visit the city’s website at http://www.ci.la-pine.or.us.

chase the second piece of equipment, called a whirl-a-round. People were excited on Sept. 9th when the Cohorts held their friend-raiser family BBQ and groundbreaking which kicked off the La Pine Heritage Celebration.

It was a relaxing and fun event with free hot dogs and hamburgers cooked by Jim Fleming of the VFW and Community Kitchen. The Cohorts wore new T-shirts with “Ask Me About” and a graphic of the new archway. Raffle prizes were donated and the community stepped up to donate money to help the park project. The Cohorts would like to say thank to those at the event that contributed prizes, time, energy, and money to make the event a success. It was intended to be a fun afternoon for the community.As dust flew with golden shovels, officials and dignitaries helped launch the construc-tion of the new park. It is anticipated to have the equipment installed no later than Halloween. The Park and Recreation’s Trunk and Treat will be a fun filled event with a nice park for the children to also play in. Phase two will include a the purchase of a new slide which the Cohorts will raise the money to purchase.

There are many that have contributed to get this project off the ground, and the Cohorts would like to have another event to honor these businesses and individuals after the park installation and construction is completed. If you have any questions about the project, or would like to donate, please contact Sandy Jones on the project Marketing Team at 541-419-9487. -

that means that building new homes comes to a stop while applicants are perused and decisions are made. What it means for families, who want to own their own homes in La Pine, is simply, a waiting game!

Heise and Newberry Habitat for Humanity are looking for families who qualify to own their own low-cost home. For families to be considered for a home in South Deschutes county, they need to prove abil-ity to pay and willingness to partner. Heise went on to explain that the Habitat system that is in place is a two part application process that, during the first step, ei-ther qualifies the applicants as potential homeowners or denies their ability to be part of the Federally mandated expectations to meet or beat. If the applicant makes it to step two, the application process is an 11 page document that explores the applicant and certifies the family by gathering all of the information needed to insure a partnership for ownership.· To apply for appropriate housing you must show a need for housing· Have a family gross income that falls within the guide lines (i.e. 4 people minimum income per

annum is $16.5 to $39.5K)· Be willing to work in partnership on the build of your home investing 400 hours of sweat equity· Be a resident of or worker in South Deschutes county for a year or more· Have a debt burden that is manageable and be able to make the monthly mortgage payments· Be able to provide references

The Family Selection Committee uses these guidelines in considering the initial qualifications of potential families. You can obtain applications easily and fill them out for consideration.

Randy Heise encourages families to contact him with questions. “Newberry Habitat wants to give their thanks and blessings to the La Pine community for their support for the La Pine ReStore on Hwy 97. The ReStore is doing a great job in providing unre-stricted funding to the local affiliate. Their goal is to pay the entire administrative costs of the retail store so that every dollar that is raised is used to build houses.”

To reach Randy Heise at the Newberry Habitat for Humanity office you can call him at 541-593-5005 or email him at [email protected]. He finished his inter-view by saying, “I am passionate about Habitat for Humanity and we are ready to help as many people as we can!” -

Dept. of Energy Approves AltaRock Energy & Davenport Newberry Plan

AltaRock Energy, in partnership with Davenport Newberry, is pleased to announce that, on August 10, 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Geothermal Technology Program announced their written approval of the Induced Seismicity Mitigation Plan (ISMP) prepared for the Newberry Enhanced Geothermal System Demonstration, cur-rently being conducted in the Deschutes National Forest. The purpose of the ISMP is to demonstrate AltaRock’s preparedness for addressing and mitigating potential seis-mic activity of concern to people at the demonstration site. Because EGS technology makes use of microseismicity to create and monitor reservoir growth, the Department of Energy requires the application of their Protocol for Addressing Induced Seismicity Associated with EGS.

Following a successful peer review three years ago, the Deschutes County internal auditing program has received a full compliance opinion for its internal auditing sys-tem. The opinion provides assurance of compliance with governmental audit standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Peer reviews are required ev-ery three years under these standards. The goal of a peer review is to improve internal auditing practices through an independent review.

The two external peer reviewers were city and county auditors from San Diego, California and Clark County, Washington. They performed the review the week of September 5 by following guidelines established by the Association of Local Govern-ment Auditors (ALGA).

Deschutes County Internal Auditor, David Givans, CPA, CIA, is a member of ALGA (www.governmentauditors.org/ ), an organization of internal auditors from local gov-ernments across the country. ALGA organizes peer reviews for member organizations.

“The full-compliance reports from the peer review is further evidence of David’s high quality and effective audit work,” said Deschutes County Audit Committee Chair Mike Shadrach.

ALGA peer reviewers reviewed established policies, procedures and auditing prac-tices Givans uses in his internal audits of Deschutes County departments. The peer reviewers evaluated the independence of the County Internal Auditor position by ex-amining how the internal audit program is organized within the structure of Deschutes County management.

Come join the discussion and learn about community planning.

The peer review team had the following suggestions for the program: 1. Additional organizational independence could be achieved by involving the audit

committee and Board of County Commissioners in any internal auditor removal de-cisions.

2. Additional documentation of internal controls assessed during planning would more closely adhere to standards.

A copy of the peer review report, recommendations and response is available on the Deschutes County website (http://www.deschutes.org/Administration/Internal-Auditor.aspx ). -

The most amazing weather, the world’s most beautiful scenery and destinations and some of the most wonderful parties and events La Pine has experienced! The Eagle caught a few of these in the middle of the fun and here is what we are ready to share!

After the wonderful volunteer Flop and Float at Marc and Robin Mirrasoul’s last month on the 13th, no would have suspected that roast pigs and lamb and other gastro-nomic events were about to unfold!

LCAT roasted a pig at the second Annual Community Picnic on August 18th and two days later, the La Pine HS Hawks helped the Senior Center redo their front garden! Joe Pace’s Karate team held a Car Wash fundraiser at Ray’s, complete with a Spud Puddle, Arlo and Nancy Fertig held their Big Bash Barbeque annual party on the 20th! Linda Stephensen celebrated her birthday, Hawaiian style at L&S Gardens with a lot of friends, a roast pig, Lillian Jones and her accordion extraordinaire and a DJ who led most of the group in singing and dancing the night away!

On the 25th, St. Vincent’s Barbeque Fundraiser held at the Retail Store and spon-sored by Judy Cantwell and the ladies and gentlemen of Prairie House netted a wonder-ful collection of food and money raised to fill their Social Service Cupboards for the upcoming Cold Season!

Radio DJs from KITC 106.5 FM radio met at The Harvest Depot on the 29th to discuss plans for changes in the radio station. (Bill Scally, KITC’s managing director, recently lost his lovely and loving wife Judy and with that great change to his life, the DJs are all asked to kick it up a notch for the future of local radio in our area.)

La Pine Lions get together for 5th Wednesday- a tradition of meeting for social rea-sons held on the 5th Wednesdays- whenever they fall! This time everyone descended on Cinco de Mayo for a fabulous and festive dinner with Lion friends on the 31st!

September 3&4 was all about Sunfest, the annual wine festival in Sunriver! They set up shop at Fort Rock Park in Sunriver over Labor Day Weekend. Vintners from all over Oregon opened booths with a select group of vendors who sold everything from soup to teas, and fountains to wine corks. The Eagle booth featured local authors and writers who were there to greet the public. Rick Steber read a new story, Kevin Bryant visited, Ted Haynes talked with people about his new book Vandevert! (Steber confessed that his new book, Caught in the Crosshairs has raised a lot of dissension and has been causing him to be wary!) Dan Varcoe joined Wendy Korn and Teri Myers at the booth!

On Sunday the 4th, Mayor Ken and Vicki Mulenex hosted a Lamb Roast for a few close friends! (few=oodles!) The local Grubmasters, our own Gerald and Ann Gawith,

helped the mayor at the pit and with the organization of the event. Friends brought in dishes and enjoyed the warm September sun in good company! The event was attended by friends from all over La Pine. Vicki held down the kitchen and we caught her in a couple of cute pics when she was ready to serve her dinner!

The Heritage Celebration with the theme 9/11: 10 years later! kicked off after weeks of planning. The Frontier Heritage Park was the scene for the big event. All of it was held under a tent that was 70x150 feet ‘large’! The Business EXPO, Ford Foundation Barbeque, Music, Music, Music, A touching memorial for 9/11, an old fashioned ice cream social that lasted all Sunday, Community Church in the Park at 1 PM and the Freedom Team doing their 90 minute performance wrapped up the annual event with a big bang! And it was free to all!

August 24th, La Pine, OR - A friend and I went for a great ride up the Peter Skene Ogden trail on Paulina on our horses. It’s a beautiful ride,and a trail frequented by horses, as well as mountain bikers and hikers, runners,and dog walkers. Normally when horse people encounter other people, everyone usually is considerate to horses and yield the right away, its helpful for hikers to yield the HIGH side of the trail to horses, and for EVERYONE who encounters a horse on the trail to speak up in a friendly non-threatening tone, a simple “HELLO!’ can make a world of difference to a horses perception of a person who is stranger to them on foot popping out of the woods or around a corner.

Today, we encountered many people on foot, and our horses are pretty solid and experienced trail mounts, thank God, because our last encounter was a serious safety risk and had we been on young, green or flighty horses it could have ended tragically. It is clearly marked at the trail head that dogs must be LEASHED. We ran across seven large, unleashed dogs in the course of a two hour ride. The first three were mannered, and obedient to owner’s commands even while off leash. Two were boisterous but friendly, one was old and slow and could not care less about us.

The last four were dangerous. They were large Mastiff/Pit Bull crosses. My horse alerted me with his ears that something was coming at us through the woods, when suddenly around a corner burst two very large dogs running quickly and aggressively, barking with attack like intention at us, while the other two ran around the flank of my friends horse behind me in the same rapid aggressive fashion. My brave horse whoaed and stood his ground, my friend’s horse was on verge of panic, but because my horse held his ground bravely, so did hers. I yelled NO, and LEAVE IT to the dogs whose owner had no control or intention of calling them off, and did not even acknowledge us.

The trail is narrow, and steep, with many trees. The dogs kept coming. My com-mands seem to bewilder them as did the horses being rooted to the spot. I have no doubt had the horses bolted, a full chase of four pack mentality large aggressive and out of control dogs would have ensued. I ordered the dogs off and they continued to run off up the trail, and as the owner stalked by us through the bush, and I stated to her that had I been on a lesser horse who was young, green or frightened that could have been a very dangerous predicament.

I would think it is common sense and courtesy to others to leash your dogs in pub-lic on trails especially frequented by horses and others who have dogs, or are hiking, running, or mountain biking. It is all to easy for a situation

Dogs at Large on Ogden Trail La Pine Community KitchenFirst I would like to say, as a newcomer to La Pine, how wonderful your town

and townspeople are. I’ve only been here for a few short months and I have felt welcomed everywhere I go. As we just commemorated the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 and giving thanks to our brave soldiers who had been called to duty for our country and had fought and died for our freedom, we have to also thank the un-sung heroes of our communities. The volunteers that give of themselves, their time, and talents to help their community. I am currently unemployed so I have been filling my days at the LaPine Community Kitchen on Finley Butte where ev-ery day I receive a warm welcome and a hot cup of Joe before I start my work. I have to say that I’m very impressed by the enthusiasm and hard work of each of the volunteers. They give of themselves to feed and clothe the many people whom are either homeless or live in such dire straits that they can’t afford the luxuries that many of us take for granted. Christina Riggs runs the infrastructure of the entire operation. Her dedication and leadership is an inspiration to all that work for her and to this community. Fred and Carol Crouch run the office and maintenance like a well oiled machine. They both have dreams and aspirations to build out the current structures to enlarge the extremely small kitchen so that the volunteer cooks have the room they need and more dining area to allow more seating for the tremendous amount of people that come through the door on a daily basis. But, because of the times, donations are very low and grants (as always) are slow coming. Even Huston Spires, who runs the produce area, just is not getting the produce they need to hand out. Scot Riggs has to keep the pantry closed today due to the lack of food we receive from Neighborhood Impact in Redmond who is also suffering by the same lack of donations. I help Scot Riggs take the trailer down every other Tuesday and 2 months ago we were picking up 4 to 5 thousand pounds of food from them and the last load was around 1500 ponds. Steve Murray who runs the warehouse at Neighborhood Impact, has a huge heart and also dedicates his time, has had to field calls from very upset organizations that are wondering why they aren’t getting the food they need. It is getting very hard for everyone, especially the cooks who are running out of ways to cook chicken and rice! We have had a 20’ X 40’ building that the LaPine Pentecostal Church of God has gra-ciously donated to The Kitchen for our new produce area that will not only keep what produce we do get, fresher for a longer period of time but, enable people to come in out of the weather while they wait. Again, funds are low and we are working to get what we need to move the structure and place it at its new home.

Improving child nutrition is a focal point of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act that was signed by President Obama last December. This legislation reautho-rizes USDA’s Child nutrition programs, including the Summer Food Service Program and the National School Lunch Program, which serves nearly 32 million children each day. It will allow USDA, for the first time in over 30 years, the chance to make real reforms to the school lunch and breakfast programs by improv-ing the critical nutrition and hunger safety net for millions of children. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act is the legisla-tive centerpiece of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative. To learn more, visit www.LetsMove.gov.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13, 2011-- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced investments across the country to help children develop positive nutrition and physical activity habits that can lead to healthier lifestyles. The grants will provide nutrition edu-cation materials, resources for children and parents, and technical assistance and train-ing for school food service providers and communities participating in the National School Lunch and Child and Adult Care Food Programs. The $6.4 million in funding supports elementary and secondary schools applying for the HealthierUS School Chal-lenge, a key component of the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative to end childhood obesity within a generation.

“If we want to build a strong economy and win the future, then we also need to win the race to educate our kids,” said Vilsack. “And that means making sure that the 32 million kids who eat school lunches every day are fueled by nutritious food and healthy habits. With that winning combination we can help to reduce and prevent childhood obesity and ensure more healthful future for every child in America.”

States will provide training and technical assistance to school food service staff in making school meals healthier, with more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low-fat milk products on the menu, during the two year grant period. Grantees will also promote the use of USDA Foods and teach children to make healthy food choices through hands-on nutrition education experiences. Parents in these states will be of-fered information on how to support healthy habits at home.

States had the opportunity to apply for up to two Team Nutrition Training Grants for fiscal year 2011, competitive and/or non-competitive. The non-competitive grant funds are awarded as a basis to support States in their efforts to significantly increase the number of schools applying for the HealthierUS School Challenge. States that guarantee a specific number of HUSSC applications during the grant period received a non-competitive award.

The 31 States receiving grants include:

“The Department of Energy’s approval of our Induced Seismicity Mitigation Plan highlights the great level of care and attention we have brought to this issue since the project’s inception,” said Will Osborn, Project Manager for AltaRock. “In our public outreach meetings we’ve received and responded to concerns about water usage and potential seismic activity; approval by the Department of Energy affirms that this proj-ect is well-planned and well-executed, and we’re excited to keep the process moving along here in Oregon. We encourage the public to review the approved plan available on our web site, and continue to provide comments and questions through our new toll-free information line.”

About the Newberry EGS DemonstrationThe purpose of the project is to demonstrate the technology necessary to create geo-

thermal reservoirs to extract heat from the earth in locations where high temperatures can be reached by conventional drilling techniques – in an effort to advance geothermal energy’s promise and potential in the U.S.

The Newberry Volcano EGS Demon-stration is partially supported by the De-partment of Energy under Award Number DE-EE0002777, with $21.5 million in grant funds from the Department of Ener-gy matched by an additional $22.4 million from the AltaRock-Davenport partner-ship. The project is also benefitting from the research efforts of faculty and students at the Oregon State University, the University of Utah, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Texas A&M, and Temple University. AltaRock Energy (http://www.altarockenergy.com) is a renewable energy development company focused on the research and development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS).

Outstanding Leadership Honored

District honors 2011 Teacher of the Year, Distinguished Administrator, and Outstanding Support Person at Bend-La Pine Schools Kick-off Event.

During the Bend-La Pine Schools Welcome Back rally and in front of more than 800 of their peers, three Bend-La Pine Schools leaders were honored for their commit-ment to student education.

Mountain View High School Special Education teacher Kay Ann Well, was named Teacher of the Year, Nutrition Services Director Terry Cashman was named Distin-guished Administrator, and Classified Specialist Tammie Parker was named Outstand-ing Support Person.

Kay Ann Well, Bend-La Pine Schools 2011 Teacher of the Year, is beginning her 18th year in education. For the last four years, Well has been inspiring Mountain View High School special needs students to make their dreams a reality while meeting their highest potential in the classroom and beyond. Prior to working with students with special needs, she worked as a media assistant at Marshall High School.

“Kay Ann (Well) is the kind of person who makes you want to be the best you can be,” said Mountain View High School principal Katie Legace. “As the result of her teaching skill, collaborative style and inclusive leadership, Mountain View High School student achievement is at an all time high.”

“I often see my job as a carpenter whose job is to supply the apprentice with a tool belt, then add the essential tools that each may need to build a successful education that leads to achievement,” Well said.

Well was selected as the 2011 Bend-La Pine Schools Teacher of the Year by a team of community members. Well will represent Bend-La Pine Schools as its candidate for Oregon Teacher of the Year this fall.

The eight finalists for the 2011 Bend-La Pine Schools Teacher of the Year award were: Kelle Hildebrandt, Highland Elementary School; Patrick Kilty, Summit High School; Louise Markland, Bend Senior High School; Tracy Reynolds, District-wide Special Programs; Pat Roberts, Pilot Butte Middle School; Dawn Thill, La Pine Mid-dle School; Ken Thorp, La Pine High School; and Kay Ann Well, Mountain View High School.

Bend-La Pine Schools named Terry Cashman, Director of Nutrition Services, as Bend-La Pine Schools 2011 Distinguished Administrator. Cashman is beginning his 14th year with Bend-La Pine Schools.

Cashman and his team are credited with increasing efficiency of the District’s Nu-trition Services Program, increasing the number of students choosing school lunch, adding the Farm to School fresh vegetable and meat program, expanding the free sum-mer lunch program for local students, making Universal Breakfast and option for ev-ery Bend-La Pine Schools student, and for inspiring district chefs to use whole wheat, low fat meats and cheeses, and healthy ingredients in their meal preparation.

“Cashman’s ongoing focus on the customer and operations has led to continuous improvement of the program,” said Deputy Superintendent John Rexford.

“Every school day, Cashman and his team serve more than 15,000 meals - over 2.5 million a year - to area students including breakfast, lunch, dinner, after school snacks, vended, and summer meals for children,” added Rexford. “Those meals provide the fuel that our students need to succeed in the classroom.”

Tammie Parker was named Bend-La Pine Schools 2011 Outstanding Support Per-son. Parker has worked in Bend-La Pine Schools’ Human Resources Department for more than six years.

“She is always willing to go beyond the call of duty to provide service and assis-tance to our staff,” said Elk Meadow Elementary School Principal Bruce Reynolds. “Tammie is confidential, knowledgable, self-directed, and provides incredible custom-er service to our current staff, applicants, and the community.” -

BEND, Ore. – Beginning this fall, Oregon State University - Cascades will of-fer a bachelor’s degree program in exercise and sport science (EXSS). The program is seen as a good fit for the Bend campus because of the synergy offered by Central Oregon Community College’s two-year program in exercise science, and because of the regional interest in fitness and sports. Students in the exercise science program at the community college who are interested in continuing their studies in the field can now pursue a Bachelor of Science degree at OSU-Cascades. Students from similar, approved community college or undergraduate programs can also transfer into the new program. The new EXSS degree mirrors the EXSS program’s applied option offered at the OSU campus in Corvallis, and students will graduate with an OSU degree.

The program coursework focuses on the application of the biological, physical, so-cial and behavioral sciences in the study of physical activity and sport, and their effects on the health, fitness and quality of life of people of all ages and abilities. Students can individualize their program of study based on their career goals. Graduates could embark on careers in adult fitness, sport business, youth programs or leadership of non-school sports programs for people of all ages. They can also pursue graduate work in fields such as biomechanics or exercise physiology, or enter graduate professional schools in physical or occupational therapy, medicine or related fields.

Christine D. Pollard, Ph.D., PT joined OSU-Cascades in August to develop and lead the EXSS program. Dr. Pollard received a master’s degree in physical therapy from Pacific University in 1998 and a Ph.D. from University of Massachusetts in exercise science with an emphasis on biomechanics in 2003. She did her post-doctoral training in musculoskeletal biomechanics at University of Southern California. For the past 10 years, Dr. Pollard has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in biomechanics, human anatomy, applied anatomy, orthopaedic pathology, and orthotics and prosthet-ics at University of Southern California, California State University Long Beach and University of Massachusetts. Dr. Pollard’s research is dedicated to improving the sci-entific understanding of lower extremity injuries, and advancing injury-prevention and rehabilitation programs.

EXSS students will take courses including biomechanics, movement skill learning and control, measurement and data in exercise science, and adapted physical activity. Each student will also complete an internship. The first EXSS course to be offered this fall and taught by Dr. Pollard is Sociocultural Dimensions of Physical Activity.

The EXSS degree brings the total number of undergraduate programs offered at OSU-Cascades to 13, with 25 minors and options. To learn more about the EXSS degree program visit http://www.osucascades.edu/exercise-sport-science or call 541-322-3152.

About OSU-Cascades: Located in Bend, Ore., OSU-Cascades features outstanding faculty in degree programs that reflect Central Oregon’s vibrant economy and abun-dant natural resources. Thirteen undergraduate majors and two graduate programs, with 25 minors and degree options, include Business Administration with a Hospitality Management option, Energy Engineering Management, Exercise and Sport Science, and Tourism and Outdoor Leadership. -

The Basics & Possibilities of Photography

Photos Top: Paintbrush SunsetBottom: Broken Top Trail in Bloom, Mount Bachelor in the background.Next Page: Bear Grass, Mount Jefferson in the background.

If you’ve lived in Central Oregon for as little as one year you’ll know by now that anything can happen in almost any month. People tell me about snow on the 4th of July, and now it looks like we may be having some great opportunities for some great wildflowers in September.

At our elevation level, we’ve been seeing wildflow-ers since mid June, but because we had such a prolific snowfall last winter, EVERYTHING has been delayed at least a month this year.

I took a group of fellow photographers and students on a wildflower photo safari to Coffin Mountain on July 31st. The flowers were in full bloom, at the peak of their life. And the Bear Grass was an 11 out of 10! Two years ago I took a workshop group to the same location in the third week of June. Go Figure!

So because of the aforementioned conditions it’s real possible we could have a great bloom of wildflowers above the Cascade Lakes Highway deep in to September!

One of my favorite places to go shoot wildflowers is up and along the Broken Top trail. Forest Road 370 leads up to this flora utopia from the gate at Todd Lake. Usually the best flowers are viewable in late July to late August, but this year the snow hadn’t even melted on the road in early August! The photos I’m exhibiting with this article were taken just a couple of weeks ago on La-bor Day weekend.

So, the best time to photograph wildflowers is defi-nitely early morning or late afternoon/early evening. Basically when the sun is low. It offers nice, easy, soft light, long shadows, and great chances for reflected light! There are several keys and several approaches I use. None of them are perfect, and none of them are “right” or “wrong”.

Composition – If you’ve read any of my articles, taken my classes, or even looked at photographs on the internet, you know composition is the key to great pho-tographs! And it’s really true when shooting wildflow-ers. But you, as the photographer have to decide what to focus on. So, do you focus on placing the flowers in the foreground and the mountains and sky in the back-ground, or do you go in close for a macro shot? My advice…YES, all of the above!

Simplicity – If you’ve seen the photo of the Cone-flower on the new phone book, you’ll know it’s a nice simple shot. The flower is tack sharp on the focal point and the background is blurred out! I shot it with a Canon 100mm Macro Lens at f 2.8.

Complexity – Creating great images can be com-plex. The photo of the Indian Paintbrush took a lot of work and preparation. I’m shooting on a hill at about 7pm. The sun is setting, but to get the shot I want (Star-burst in the background with well illuminated flowers in the foreground), I’ve got to lay up the hill, flat on my stomach, looking through the viewfinder. I then switch to “Live View” to help my composition and focus. To illuminate the flowers in the foreground, I use two flash units tied to the camera wirelessly and pointed at the flowers at 45 degree angles. The legs of the tripod are sprayed out almost flat to get the lowest view I can. I bracket the shots to get the best exposure possible. Bracketing is a technique, which involves using your camera’s exposure compensation dial to record different shutter speeds using the same aperture. I take about 75 shots of the same set of 4-5 flowers. Then I move up the hill, and do it again! BINGO! JACKPOT! This is the location, but I have to shoot fast because the sun is about to disappear behind the hill! That’s what you call “Working the Location”. The result is one of the best shots I have taken this year!

Lesson – Starbursts/Sunbursts are created by using a very high aperture value, say f 22 or 32 and composing the shot so the sun is in a position using the “Rule of Thirds”. Also, try to move the sun around. Sometimes the only way to get the “Burst” is to have the sun “peak” out from behind a hill, mountain, or tree.

SUNRIVER BOOKS AND MUSIC By Deon Stonehouse

“Sunfest” Fundraiser held Sept. 2 & 3

October brings some excellent au-thors to Central Oregon! We are thrilled to have two of the Northwest’s best au-thors returning to Sunriver.

Thor Hanson will be with us to give a presentation on his book Feathers at 5:00 PM Saturday October 8th. Thor Hanson is a marvelous writer, he makes his passion for the natural world quite compelling. I found myself to-

tally involved in the story of a fossilized wing being used in a debate on evolu-tion. And he doesn’t stop with the origi-nal owners of the feathers using them; he takes the book on to show how man has benefited from fly fishing to downy pil-lows. Just think of the abuse a feather must endure, sub zero temperatures and ferocious winds for the Penguin in Ant-arctica. Or the way a Pelican’s feathers must let it dive into the frigid waters of the Pacific then erupt from the waves to rise into the sky. Feathers are pretty remarkable. And hearing about feathers from Thor is like sitting down for a lively chat with a particularly bright friend. This is a very entertaining and interesting book. We all enjoyed his last presenta-

tion and look forward to hearing about the intricate and interest-ing world of Feathers.

D i a n a Abu-Jaber is a lively, inter-esting speak-

er with a quick wit and friendly manner. She puts on a good presentation and is a lot of fun! She is one of my favorite authors, her range is incredible, her voice always true. We are very pleased she is returning to Sunriver Books & Music for a presentation on her latest book, Birds of Paradise, on October 29th at 5:00 PM .

Birds of Paradise is a beautiful book. Miami heat, the pulsing neon lights color the night sky, and a young girl carries her secrets creating the drama of a family torn asunder. Felice is a beautiful child, with the face of Elizabeth Taylor. She

overshadowed her less showy brother, Stanley. Avis adores her daughter. Life was going pretty well for Avis, she is married to Brian, a caring but distracted man, she has a thriving business creat-ing amazing pastries that challenge her creatively, and children she loves. And then Felice leaves, running off into those hot Miami nights as a vulnerable thirteen year old child, taking all the magic away. Avis, Brian and Stanley are left in the wreckage of their lives to try coping with the absence of Felice. As her 18th birth-day approaches Felice’s presence seems to haunt her family while the young girl tries to grapple with the secrets she bears and the choices that set her adrift on the streets of Miami. Diana’s books high-light her tremendous range; each has its own distinct but lively voice. Diana is at her best with characters who build lives for themselves that are a bit outside the pack. Each of her books tells a com-pletely different story filled with strong characters and spiced with humor. We are delighted to have this gifted author appearing at Sunriver Books & Music.

Author events are free, include re-freshments, and drawings for door priz-es. Sign up to attend by e-mailing [email protected], calling 541-593-2525, or stopping by Sunriver Books & Music. -

It was a fun event with music and vendors, held at Sunriver’s Fort Rock Park. Left is Rick Steber, Au-thor (see page 24 for his stories) in the middle, hugging Dan Varcoe, Newberry Eagle Sales Representa-tive, and Kristen Jarvis from Wine & Roses of Bend.

When Charles Alfred “Charlie” Leany and his lovely wife Jan arrived in Seattle from Australia for the International Lion’s Conference, they were already looking for-ward to spending time with a couple of old friends from La Pine. Charlie and his wife came to the La Pine Lions Installation of Officers Ceremony and shared some of his worldly experiences with the group. The La Pine Lions make up the oldest fraternal orga-nization in the area. They maintain the Finley Butte Park and are known for sight and hear-ing charities and working with other non-profits in the community to support families and local issues. Charlie was there to talk about how proud he is to be a long-time Lion!

Charlie is from Lavington, New South Wales, Australia. He has been involved with the Lions for 41 years and is a member in District 201 (V-6 Victoria). As a past District President he went to the annual International Conference where he met La Pine Associate members Ted and Susan Forbes. Coming to La Pine was the first part of a five week visit that will take him from here to Burns, over to Boise then to Detroit and then to London, Norway, Paris and eventually Singapore, be-fore he and Jan return home to Lavington! He will be a goodwill ambassador for the Lions all over the world, speaking about the various work that his own club does at home (where his local club owns a concession stand at their local show ground- like a fairgrounds- that raises and provides $150k/year to local

charities that include hearing dogs for the deaf, vital alert necklaces for seniors and the sight and hearing projects that all Lions are famous for!)

Charlie gave an interesting talk about the huge convention where Dr. Kun Tam was elected International President and a fellow Australian, Barry Palmer was elected Vice President of the Lions. As he explained the pomp and circumstances of the big meeting, he pulled out a gift for the local Chapter of La Pine lions: a flag and Banner from his club and an accompanying pin. It is customary for Lions world-wide to trade and exchange their ‘colors and their club pins with other Lions from around the world and so he gave Presi-dent Ron Gerhart this gift as a token of his appreciation for Operation Friendship and the generosity of his host family, the Forbes!

Jan recently became a Lion for the first time herself and now she will undertake some of the big tasks of recruiting new members and seeing to the fundraising. She explained that she and her husband look forward to their annual travels and have met some in-credible people as they go from club to club, city to city. The two of them spent about one week here and hope to return again in the future. During their time here, they enjoyed local sights and time with new and old ac-quaintances. Let’s hear it for the Leanys from Lavington, Australia for Passing through Par-adise on their way to see the world!

Lavington is in New South Wales in Southern Australia. If you look on a map to find it, you will see it located between Thur-goona, Albury and Wodonga and it is just west of the Indigo Valley and East of Mount Lawson State Park!-They love being close to so many natural tourist destinations. Sound familiar? -

Australian Lions Charles Alfred “Charlie” and his wife, Jan visit La Pine. Traveling from Austra-lia, they will traverse the U.S. Then they will go to London, Norway, Paris, & Singapore.

Big Obsidian Flow: This 1.1 square miles of shiny black obsidian and pumice are an intriguing spectacle in the middle of a forest. There is a short interpretive hike that winds through the rock and gives spectacular views of the Newberry Caldera. Simply drive up Paulina Lake Road, keep going passed the Paulina Lake Lodge and look for the the Big Obsidian Flow sign. WHILE YOU ARE THERE, VISIT PAULINA LAKE LODGE, SEE AD THIS PAGE.

On Labor Day my wife and I decided to head up to the Cas-cade Lakes Scenic Byway for an afternoon “Getaway”. We be-gan our trip at Wickiup Junction, on Highway 97 on the north side of La Pine. We headed west on Burgess Rd (Road 43). Af-ter making several stops at various lakes, our favorite this day is Devil’s Lake. It is located between Elk Lake and Sparks Lake, on the furthest Northwest part of the Cascade Lakes Highway.

If driving too fast, one could easily pass the turn to the road into Devil’s Lake. The parking area is only 1/8th mile on a well-maintained gravel road that opens up to a small park-ing area. We were informed by signs that this was the trailhead to the South Sisters Summit, only a 6.6 mile hike to the peak. There are only six campsites, all for tent-camping only. A trail, rimmed by small lava rocks, meanders past secluded tent-sites, most of which are very private, tucked in between lava flows, rugged Pine Trees and Manzanita Bushes. It is a very inviting natural park-like setting.

The trail leads to a scene that could be right out of the Wiz-ard of Oz. Devil’s Lake has a beautiful emerald green hue. It is quite small but very pristine. It is quiet and very serene. Mt. Bachelor is “Picture-Perfect” making this a great opportunity to snap a photo that you can be proud to put up on Facebook. One could easily make your friends believe you have become a professional photographer. The lake is so inviting that on a hot day you can’t help but yield to the urge to take a quick “dip”… or at least stick your toe into the crystal clear water for a refreshing moment.

Devil’s Lake is a great place to bring your picnic, your kay-ak and your tent and enjoy an hour, a day or a week. It’s easy to find… and hard to leave! -

Labor Day has come and gone, the shadows are growing longer, the kids are back in school and the Ya Ya’s have a number of activities planned for the up coming season. Our group of campers had a fun BBQ and campout weekend at Ogden Creek. Some of us volunteered at the Cascade Lakes Relay and raised $800.00 towards our scholarship fund. September hikes are planned to McKay Crossing, Dry River Canyon, Todd Lake and Metolius River. Other activities for September include a golf scramble at Quail Run and a five day trip to Genoa, NV for the Candy Dance craft show.

We are sponsoring a Christmas Boutique which will be open from November 20th thru November 26th except Thanksgiving Day, beginning with a grand opening tea provided by The Lavender Cottage at 2:00 pm. If you wish to participate or would like more information please contact Sharon Walling at 541-536-2170/541-420-7447.

Our other monthly activities include bunco, book club, golf, dinner club, plant exchanges and special excursions all of which are optional.

SEE THE LAKES! Article about this adventure opposite page. From North La Pine, head West on Burgess (Wickiup Junction) for about 11 miles. Turn left on South Century Drive and continue for another 9 miles. Connect to the byway here - either north or south. It passes a dozen lakes, including Sparks Lake, the Lava Lakes, the Cultus Lakes, Crane Prairie Reservoir, Wickiup Reservoir, and Davis Lake. The best time to go is June through October.

NORTH TWIN LAKE

Hike, swim, fish, camp! Hiking trails. Hike around the lake is about 1.5 miles. North Twin offers quiet, primitive camping, an excellent beach for swimming, a dirt boat ramp, and other excellent fishing opportunities nearby. The North Twin campground has restrooms, no drinking water, and charges a fee. The closest resort is at South Twin which closes during the fall and winter. North Twin is open all year with ice fishing. You can get there in the winter with a four wheel drive vehicle. The lake has an interesting volcanic history. It was formed 20,000 years old. To learn more, visit: www.visitusa.com/ oregon/lakes/northtwinlake.htm

DEVIL’S LAKE

A great place to bring your picnic, your kayak and your tent and enjoy an hour, a day or a week. Devil’s Lake has a beautiful emerald green hue. It is quite small but very pristine. It is quiet and very serene. It is located between Elk Lake and Sparks Lake, on the furthest Northwest part of the Cascade Lakes Highway.

Liberty is a Gospel group based on the West Coast with a full-time concert schedule. The members of Liberty are Royce Mitchell, bass; Dan Gilbert, lead; Keith Waggoner, tenor; and Jordan Cragun, baritone. Liberty averages 50-70,000 miles a year minister-ing in approximately 200 performances for church services, large conventions including the Great Western Quartet Convention and the Gospel Music Fan Festival in Canada, nursing homes, prisons, and other ministries. Liberty goes wherever the Lord directs.

Listen to what others have to say about Liberty Quartet:“One has to be very careful these days whom they endorse. I am asked routinely to

give endorsements to groups and ministries and have probably done so 3 times in 20 years. But having known Liberty and worked closely with them for 10 years, It is with confidence that I can tell you that they are the real deal. They care about people and are 100% committed to being the best they can be both professionally and personally. If you get a chance to have them in your church, I don’t think you will be disappointed.” -Scott Fowler, Legacy Five

“The Liberty Quartet has been a great blessing to our church and camp families. Not only are they energetic and humorous but they also have a heart to lead their listen-ers into an intimate worship experience. In their last concert with us, about 50 of our teens, who had not heard a lot of Southern Gospel Music, couldn’t get enough of their music. If you have the opportunity to host this group, get ready to have a great time!” -Jeff Keaton, Senior Pastor, Parkway House of Prayer (Roanoke, VA)

“We have enjoyed the ministry of the Liberty Quartet for over seven years at our church. It has become one of the most popular annual programs that we sponsor for our group. The Quartet is joy-filled and Christ-centered and a tremendous blessing to our congregation here in Menlo Park. One of the greatest features is that the programs are really intergenerational and have a broad ranging appeal. The Liberty Quartet’s ministry has also proven to be a wonderful outreach to friends and neighbors who are invited to come and enjoy an inspirational evening. I would heartily endorse this min-istry to your church family.” -Frank VanderZwan, Pastor of Senior Adults, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church (Menlo Park, CA)

“Our congregation always looks forward to the Liberty quartet concerts. They are our most popular group. Each program is fresh and exciting. Liberty captivates the audience with their humor and music, yet their spirit and purpose unmistakably point to Jesus Christ in every concert. It is obvious that these guys enjoy working together. They are very much at home on the stage and fun to be around before and after the con-cert. They have always been very flexible in working with our church. Their concerts appeal to all ages, and we fill our sanctuary every time they come to Tucson!” -Larry Vinyard, Pastor of Worship and Arts, Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene (Tucson, AZ)

You will certainly enjoy the enthusiasm these men exhibit while serving and sing-ing unto the Lord. While featuring everything from high-energy performances to mo-ments of contemplation, Liberty always leads the congregation in an incredible concert of worship. Their ministry bridges all generations, bringing enjoyment to traditional venues as well as contemporary.

You may be unaware of it, but September is Life Insurance Awareness Month. And while a whole month may seem like a long time to focus on life insurance, it’s actually a good opportunity for you to realize the important role that life insurance can play in your life.

Unfortunately, many people don’t have sufficient insurance. A recent report by LIMRA, a research and consulting group, shows the following:

Individual life insurance ownership among U.S. households has reached a 50-year low.

Three out of every 10 households (about 35 million households) currently have no life insurance — an increase of 11 million households since 2004.

These figures help explain why the nonprofit LIFE Foundation coordinates Life Insurance Awareness Month each September. Simply put, many people don’t realize how many ways that life insurance can help them and their families.

To be specific, life insurance can:Educate your children — If you were to die prematurely, your life insurance policy

can pay, in whole or in part, your children’s college education. And if you live a normal life span, life insurance can help to pay for your grandchildren’s college education.

Pay off your mortgage — If you have sufficient life insurance, the death benefit can pay off your mortgage, so your family wouldn’t have to move.

Help pay for your spouse’s retirement — Your spouse might be counting on shar-ing some of the money you eventually withdraw from your retirement plans — such as your 401(k) and IRA — to help with his or her own retirement. If you were to die early, your spouse, as beneficiary, would receive the existing account balances in these plans, but your future contributions would, of course, die with you.

Help pay for your retirement — You don’t even have to die to reap some benefits from your life insurance. If you’ve purchased some form of permanent insurance, such

Be Aware of Key Benefits of Life Insurance

Most brokers will tell you that investing in a 401(k) is animportant way to save for retirement. What few bother tosay is that it’s not enough just to have a 401(k).

To get the most from your 401(k) when you retire, youhave to actively manage it now. At Edward Jones, we’llwork with you to help ensure that your 401(k) portfolioaccurately fits your goals. So your 401(k) can work for you,not the other way around.

To learn how Edward Jones can help you make sense of your 401(k), call or visit your local financial advisor today.

IS YOUR CHECKBOOK MORE BALANCED THAN

YOUR 401(k)?

as whole life or universal life, you have the opportunity to build a cash balance. And through policy loans or withdrawals, you can tap into this cash to help you pay some of your expenses during retirement.

Help you leave the legacy you desire — Life insurance can be an important part of your estate plans. To use life insurance properly for estate planning, consult with your le-gal advisor.

Of course, one big question that you may ask is this: How much life insurance do I need? You’ve probably seen those estimates that say you should have insurance that’s worth a certain number of years times your annual income. While this might not be a bad esti-mate, it’s not a hard-and-fast rule for every single individual. The amount of insurance you need will depend on a variety of factors: your age, income, size of family, value of home, employment situation and so on. Your financial advisor can help you determine the level of insurance that’s appropriate for your needs.

Now that you’ve seen how life insurance may help you over the years, and you’ve got a sense of how to determine the amount of coverage you need, you can appreciate the message behind Life Insurance Awareness Month — so take it to heart and make sure you’ve got the proper insurance plan in place.

like this to escalate quickly into a life or death incident of a horse bolting through the woods, throwing or dragging a rider, running over foot traffic,with dogs in hot pursuit, or worse, mauling the horse... or a fallen rider.

I’m certain people would never in-tend for a simple dog walk to become a life threatening situation, and may not realize the consequences of letting dogs be at large in public. Nothing is more dangerous than a frightened horse among a crowd of people. Furthermore, there were elderly people with grand-children and small dogs at the creek en-joying the day, all of whom could have been affected. You just never know who or what you will encounter in a public place, which why we have leash laws. Should a dog ,or several dogs at large cause a wreck and attack either a horse and rider, another dog, or person on the trail, in a public place, it is the dogs own-ers liability for having them off leash. Just food for thought.

Sincerely, M J Snyder -

Community KitchenAs I’m writing this letter it was brought to my attention that even St. Vincent De-Paul has been getting hit hard as well. They have many special programs to help the community and their shelves are looking just as bare. The real problem is that the public believes that when they

receive donations i.e. clothes, jackets, shoes, etc they sell them in their stores for profit. This is just not the case; ev-ery dollar that is made is used to buy food for the food boxes and other ser-vices they give out to the community. The Community Kitchen and St. Vin-cent DePaul’s just worked booths at the Heritage Fair and Gospel jubilee event this past weekend selling haystacks and snow cones to help raise money for the community and The Kitchen is holding their annual BBQ this upcoming week-end (September 17 @ 6PM) hoping to raise even more desperately needed money. Ron Wilborn will be cooking and I hear he’s the best in the business. I can’t wait to taste the ribs!! There are more events coming soon and I really hope that we all can show their support for everyone. Thank you and thank you for accepting me into your community, Glenn Costello -

Klamath Falls, Ore- Several thunder storm systems have swept through south cen-tral Oregon igniting a number of fires on lands managed by the Fremont-Winema Na-tional Forest, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lakeview District and Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). Currently, the largest is the Garden Fire, located ap-proximately 10 miles northeast of Fort Rock, Ore., on BLM land.

As of today, the Garden fire is 7,000 acres in size and is burning in sagebrush, juni-per and within the surrounding lava flows where vegetation carries the flames. It is also burning in a Wilderness Study Area (WSA). A Type II Incident Management Team has been ordered to assume management of the fire.

Currently, fire officials are trying to keep Garden Fire contained within the WSA away from private lands where some structures may be threatened, as well as a nearby power line. Weather patterns continue to push the fire making containment of the fire an increased challenge. Six engines, one helicopter, three air tankers, two single engine air tankers, one lead plane, a dozer and five water tenders are assigned to the fire.

Fire danger throughout south central Oregon re-mains extreme and more lightning activity is ex-pected later today. Fire officials ask the public to be familiar with current public use restrictions for areas they plan to recreate on. For updated informa-tion, please call the South

Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership (SCOFMP) fire information hotline at 541-947-6223.

I could do that with websites! Everyone knows me as the “local photographer”, but most of my business income comes from web design. I started designing in the mid-nineties and helped design some pretty big websites for companies like Sprint, but I really enjoy working with small businesses! The other reason I’m doing it is because I’m tired of people looking to the government or politicians to create jobs or improve the economy. I want to show that the average business per-son can positively impact the economy!”

JensenOne will donate one website (or website makeover) for a small busi-ness with less than five employees, or a sole proprietorship, and one website for a non-profit which has been formed in the last five years.

Applications will be accepted from September 15 – October 15, 2011, with work expected to be completed by Janu-ary 2012.

About JensenOne: After spending years in corporate America with presti-gious companies like Applebee’s, Sprint, and Habitat For Humanity, Mike Jen-

sen formed JensenOne. JensenOne is so named to honor Mike’s father who origi-nally chose the domain name for a family web site.

With JensenOne, Mike has com-bined all the things he loves to do. Mike is a whiz at Marketing, and knows it like the back of his hand. There’s very little he hasn’t done, but he is very skilled in graphic arts, and print ad design, directo-ries, newsletters, inserts, flyers. Mike has also produced and does voice-over work in many local TV and Radio commer-cials. Mike hosted his own Radio show for several years in Bend.

As for Web Design...Mike loves the creative process, and taking the client’s in-put and creating an AFFORDABLE web-sites to act as an online marketing tool. Mike firmly believes that anyone shopping for a web designer should hire a marketing company who does web design!

Photography has been a passion for over 40 years, and Mike has developed in to an expert level photographer having recently received the prestigious Best In Show designation at the 2011 Deschutes County Fair. Mike also teaches Photogra-phy, Photoshop, Dreamweaver for COCC, and the La Pine Parks & Rec District! -

Central Oregon Partnerships for Youth (COPY), a program of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, is offering a class to prepare volunteers to become mentors for children with an incarcerated parent. COPY utilizes volunteers in communities throughout De-schutes County. There is a particularly high need for volunteer mentors in Redmond.

After initial training and background checks, volunteers are matched with a child in their community that shares similar interests and activities and commits to spending a few hours a week together for a minimum of one year. This time is often spent going to com-munity events, working on homework, attending art programs, participating in sports, or simply hanging out and talking.

On Saturday, September 24, COPY will offer an orientation/training class. This six-hour class covers program policies, how to establish a mentor relationship, the impact incarceration has on families, and communication skills. There is no cost to attend. For ad-ditional details or to request an application, please call (541) 388-6651 or email [email protected]. Additional program information is available at the Sheriff’s Office web site at www.deschutes.org/copy. -

La Pine Heritage Celebration on 9/11/11 Photography

by Mike Jensen

La Pine Fire and Sherif Department Commemorating 9/11 at the Fire Station.

Festivities began in the early morning at the La Pine Fire station with a flag raising and gun salutes, as well as speeches by dignitaries. Then everyone went to the park across the street to spend the rest of the day listening to speeches, gospel music, eating free ice cream and enjoy the grand finale; the Freedon Team.

As 9/11 ceremonies, speeches, and music unfolded, feelings were shared, and many people at the Heritage Celebration gathered to honor our nation and it’s people. In the photos above; top left: La Pine’s American Legion flag ceremony took place with Glendora Skipwith leading the flag team. Top right: Paula Sorvillo, Ms. Senior Oregon America, from La Pine, gives her speech about 9/11. Paula witnessed the twin towers being attacked from her hospital room in New York. She gives her account of the devasting experience from just blocks away as the towers fell. She spend several days in the hospital recovering from her surgery. Bottom left, Stu Martinez is shar-ing how he went to New York to help immediately after the 9/11 attack. The hat he presents is one that he bought in Manhattan and wore while he was in New York. It still has the ash from the towers on it, and as he says, it bears the souls and spirits of those that died. He keeps it in a plastic bag and will never clean it. Bottom right, La Pine Fire Chief, Mike Supkis, shared about where he was the day of 9/11. He lived in Alaska, and the Aurora Borealis was in full force that night. He shared how the people in Alaska believe that these northern lights are ancestors’ spirits. He said that the night of 9/11/01, the people that lost their lives in the twin towers and other plane crashes, were somehow shining their spirits in the Aurora because it was so bright and much larger than before. - Written by Sandra Jones, Newberry Eagle Editor in Chief

RAISING ThE FLAG

Bonanza Publishing, announces the release of a new nonfiction book, Caught in the Crosshairs by award win-ning author Rick Steber.

On the last day of summer in 1994, while cowboy Phil Brooks was riding in the hills of Eastern Oregon, he was struck through the heart by a bullet fired from a high-powered rifle. Although an intensive police investigation was launched, nobody has ever stood trial for that mur-der. Some locals speculate a woman was involved, or the young cowboy happened upon a drug drop, while others are convinced Phil’s death had something to do with the

trophy bull elk that inhabit the sprawling Fopiano Ranch where his body was found by Native American trackers. Read the first chapter online at www.oregoncrosshairs.com

Written by Eastern Oregon author Rick Steber, Caught in the Crosshairs is a story full of intrigue, deception and of justice gone terribly wrong.

Steber is an engaging western personality and a popular writer with thirty titles under his belt and more than a million books in print. He is the only Oregon author to have won the prestigious Western Writers of America Spur Award – Best Western Novel and is a keen observer of the changing American West. He articulates these changes in prose that are boldly descriptive, invigorating, creative and as sharp and deadly as a chunk of obsidian. His writing has been compared to Hemingway, Fitzgerald, McMur-try, Doig, and Stegner.

“Biggest fish I ever landed was in 19 ‘n’ 38. Remember it like it was yesterday,” lied the old fisherman.

“Grasshoppers were as thick as hair on a hound dog’s back. I was using a hopper for bait and to be perfectly honest I was taking a little snooze when all of a sudden my rod is nearly jerked out of my hand. I grab it, rear back and set the hook. But my line busts. I lose the fish.

I take a spool of heavy line, string it on my reel, tie on a hook, slip a lively hopper into place and throw back out in the same spot. This time I’m not sleepy ‘cause I figure I got a big fish in a hungry way.

Sure enough, he takes the bait. But he also takes my rigging and strips off every inch of line. I vow then and there to catch that doggone monster. I run back to town, buy a hundred feet of one-inch hemp rope and have the blacksmith fashion me a hook from a double-ought horse shoe.

A Big Fish Story

(Continued from previous column) A Big Fish Story

A True Story of the Perfect Murder...Almost.

Tall TalesA tall tale begins innocently with convincing facts and a few trivial details thrown in.

But in the course of the story the limits of believability are stretched to the breaking point. In the end we are left wondering how we could have been so naive, so darn gullible. America’s tall tales have been handed down through generations and are firm-ly rooted in character, situation and landscape. In the past a skillfully-told yarn was a diversion from the drudgery and monotony of everyday life and tell-ers of tall tales were held in high regard because their stories made people laugh. A tall tale is best enjoyed when told aloud. Dialect, intonation and gestures add to the story. A pause here. A shake of the head there. A practiced laugh. A wink, a sly smile or a deadpan look provide seasoning and can communicate as much as a well-placed word. In our modern fast-paced world, dominated by instant communication, changing tech-nology and constant entertainment, the tall tale is no longer considered an essential part of everyday life. As a result, the telling of tall tales has become a dying art form.

New Release!

When I get to my fishing hole I bait up with the biggest hopper I can find, throw in and tie off to the top of a fair-sized tree. Just before dark I catch that fish. He fights terrible hard and since there ain’t nothing I can do I go home, come back the next morning and that tree is still whipping back and forth. It took two full days for that fish to finally tire. Then I hired a team of stout horses to pull it up on the bank.

I can’t rightly recite how big that fish was in yards and feet but to show you ─ a logging outfit ended up suing me. They were having a log drive at the time and when I pulled that fish out they claimed it dropped the river level so much there wasn’t enough water to float their logs.”
