Ashland properties went for $1500, and the price of a legal
will was $25,” Jack said. “Bartering with chickens and other
items was not unusual. When I joined the firm in 1976, we
moved into a new building at 515 E. Main, which is where we
are today.”
Sam retired in the late 1980s, and Sid retired in 1992,
when Chris Hearn joined the firm. He had moved to Ashland
from Redlands, California, to “find a more balanced life in
which to raise a family.”
In recent years, Eugene Anderson, Gary Turner and Jeff
McCollum all joined the firm. Anderson had been practicing
in Medford since 1998; McCollum practiced in Medford since
1978 and Turner has practiced law since 1972 and has lived
in southern Oregon since 1985.
Davis, Hearn, Anderson & Turner has created and
maintained a reputation for dedication, commitment and
professionalism through years of service and results.
“As the oldest and largest law firm in Ashland, we have
the talent and experience to handle complex transactions
and litigation,” Chris said. “But it is small enough to foster
and develop close working
relationships with a wide
array of clients.”
The
firm
offers
a
complete
range
of
legal specialties within
transactional
law
and
litigation in both the civil
and criminal courts. Clients
can expect experience,
local knowledge, efficiency
and fair treatment from
each attorney, all of whom
provide a quality legal
product and personalized
service.
For more information,
the phone number is 541482-3111. The website—
davishearn.com—lists
each legal service and the
law each attorney practices
under
“Legal
Practice
Areas.”
The law office of Davis, Hearn, Anderson & Turner, PC,
recently celebrated sixty years in Ashland this year. The five
partners—Jack Davis, Chris Hearn, Eugene Anderson and
Gary Turner—along with associate attorney Jeff McCollum,
have a combined 155
years of experience in
the legal profession.
Each one is motivated
to practice law for
different reasons, but
all enjoy serving the
legal needs of their
clients.
It was in 1976
that Jack Davis joined
his father Sam Davis
(and
partner
Sid
Ainsworth) in the
law firm. Sam opened
the office in 1953
after moving here
from
Minneapolis,
Minnesota. The office
was just down the
walk from the Oregon
Shakespeare Festival
off Main Street when
Ashland was a small
mill town.

Intimacy Counseling
with Dr. Zeb
We watched the movie French Kiss
recently, and the male lead, Kevin
Kline, complains that his failure to
“perform” in bed was caused by all the
stress he was going through. That’s
something Dr. Zeb Lancaster would
be able to help ol’ Kevin with. Zeb is an
intimacy counselor and sex therapist
with a unique life-energy oriented
body-mind approach.
“All emotional injury and anxiety
interrupts the natural energy cycle of
building, spreading, and releasing our
life-energy,” Zeb said. “This locks us
into ineffective responses. Intensity of
feeling gets lodged in the body, like a
tight stomach or a heavy heart, and
these constrictions have a direct impact
upon our ability to connect intimately
with our self and others.”
Dr. Zeb is a philosopher by nature.
A somatic psychotherapist/counselor
since 1991, all his work is informed
by 30+ years of Rolfing/Postural
Integration and a lifetime of yoga.
“What do people want most in
life?” Zeb asked. “They usually tell me
they want to be free from their deepest
fears, be able to manifest their highest
potential, and hold an inner sense of
wholeness of being. On a basic level,
our sense of Self gets lost when we are
emotionally injured and can’t access
the fullness of our essential nature.”
All of that leads to intimacy conflicts,
which create persistent anxiety, limits
one’s inherent potential, and inhibits
an inner sense of wholeness.
“In my sessions, we explore both
emotional and energetic processes
and experience,” Zeb said. “You
learn specifically how to resolve your

emotional injuries and skillfully guide
your body’s natural energy cycles. I
teach you how to keep your body’s core
relaxed and centered in your essential
nature so you can more easily receive
the surges of emotion and life-energy
that accompany both conflicts and
enlivening experiences. You discover
how to sustain profound intimacy with
yourself and others, so you won’t need
to pull away or ‘fix’ someone in order to
relax in the relationship.”

Edited by Curtis Hayden
The RogueValley’s
Premier Destination Marketplace.
The last “Best of Ashland” was
in January/February 2013, and
since then we’ve had a presidential
inauguration, a royal pregnancy (and
birth), a new Pope, a leak within the
National Security Agency (they should
be bugged!), the Obamacare website
imploding, Miley Cyrus twerking, and
pure craziness in Syria and Iran. I
almost feel as if I’m in a time warp.
Locally, we had the ACH-Asante
merger (a good thing), the Plaza
remodel (botched by the City if you
listen to a lot of people), the City’s
crackdown on vacation rentals (more
of the Mommy State, in my opinion),
the Road Diet experiment (half love
it, half hate it, but that’s democracy),
and the Normal Avenue Neighborhood
Plan (the City wants to squeeze as
many people as possible into that box).
This is the 24th running of the
“Best of Ashland,” and it continues to
grow in popularity, as we received over
400 responses this year. Yes, there
were 144 categories, but we only asked
that people answer the ones they were
most knowledgeable about.
The comments ranged from “Wow,
this takes some thinking; thanks!”
and “Always fun; I look forward to it”;
to a suggestion for a new category:
“Local newspaper with ‘Best Of’ survey
that has far too many categories to the
point of it being absurd.”

painstaking but fun (a bottle of Old
Granddad helped), and I did my best
to ferret out the ballot-stuffing.
Some people have suggested that
we make the balloting available online,
but in my expert opinion, it would
open the system up to voter fraud.
Uncle Jimmy wants Aunt Sally to win
“Favorite Mud Wrestler,” so he sends a
link to the ballot to 343 of his relatives
strewn across the U.S., and voila, ol’
Sal is the winner. I personally don’t
mind counting the ballots, so for now,
the system will remain in the Dark
Ages.
Anyway, onward and upward …
the 2014 “Best of Ashland,” our 24th
annual Readers Survey.

FAVORITE RADIO
STATION
The first AM radio station began
transmitting on August 31, 1920, out
of Detroit. Despite challenges from
television and the Internet, we all
still have our favorite radio stations.
Whether driving to and from work,
relaxing at the beach, or background
entertainment while preparing that
7-course French dinner for friends,
we want to hear the latest top songs,
old classics, and scintillating news
coverage.
Winning this category for the 23rd
year in a row were our friends over at
Jefferson Public Radio, where KSOR
and KSMF rule the roost.
Other favorites included:
• KISS-FM (107.5).
• KMED-AM (talk/news).
• KBOY.
• KDOV.
• KCNA (The Drive).
• KCMX (Lite 102).
• KSJK-AM (Local).
FAVORITE DJ
The genetics of being a great
deejay is well researched in biological
literature. First, you need a strong
voice (chromosome 5), a sense of
humor (chromosomes 6 and 7), the
desire to be listened to (#13) and, at
the same time, the ability to shake off
mistakes and move onto the next part
of the schtick (the X chromosome).
The action is fast and furious, and you
have to be ready.
Broadcasting his way to the top
this year was Don Matthews at
KSOR (Jefferson Public Radio). Not
only is he the host of the Classical
Music programming, but he’s also
a member of the Southern Oregon
Repertory Singers, is a guest soloist
with the Rogue Valley Chorale and the
Siskiyou Singers, and has appeared in
numerous theatrical productions.
The list also included:
• Gemineye at KISS-FM.
• Geoffrey Riley at JPR.
• Eric Teel at JPR.
• Maria Kelly at JPR.
• Bob & Tom Show on KBOY.
If your hair’s not becoming to you,
you should be coming to me.

BEST LOCAL TV NEWS
STATION
Want to hear about the latest
mayhem on I-5? Or that 5-alarm fire
in the wee hours of the morning? How
about the latest machinations at City
Hall? Or a heart-warming story about
an adopted woman who found her
birth mother in a jail in Zimbabwe
after a ten-year search. Our local
news stations work overtime to keep
us informed about late-breaking news,
and we all appreciate their efforts.
This category tightened up a
little this year as perennial favorite
NewsWatch 12 (KDRV) was given
a good run for its money by KTVL
(Channel 10), followed closely by
KOBI/Channel 5. Public television,
SOPT (Channel 8) also received a
number of votes.
You gotta love a weather person
who reports on the latest hurricane
warning while standing next to a levee
with 20-foot waves crashing behind
him or her, with small cows and large
Buicks flying through the air. That’s
why most weather people you see
reporting the news have huge scars—
the result of too much debris hitting
their faces … just kidding, by the way.
And when it comes to intrepid
weather people ready to sacrifice life
and limb to bring us the news, our
readers most often turned to the
team at KTVL—Kevin Lollis and Milt
Radford.
Also mentioned a lot were:
• Jeff Heaton (KOBI).
• Megan Parry (KDRV).
• Liz McGiffin (KTVL).
FAVORITE REPORTER
AT THE DAILY TIDINGS
Who knows what’s going on at
the Daily Tidings/Mail Tribune. I
subscribe to the print version of the
Tidings (mainly because it’s one
million times easier to read than the
web page), and twice in the last year
they have failed to report on major
events relative to Ashland. When I
called to complain, they said that the
news had been reported online and in
the Mail Tribune. Seriously? So local
print subscribers are chopped liver?
Anyway, moving right along and
trying to stay positive, our readers
named John Darling as their favorite
reporter this year. John is a freelancer
who specializes in human interest
stories.

BEST ADS IN THE
SNEAK PREVIEW
Things have sure changed over
the last 23 years. Instead of flipping
through clip-art books, making copies,
then using scissors and wax sticks to
literally glue the images onto paper,
the whole thing is done digitally on
a computer screen. Life is infinitely
easier, and the Sneak Preview looks
a million times better. While we’d
like to take credit for all the cool ads
in the paper, most of them are done
by graphic artists or even the clients
themselves.
Quite a few of the ads were
mentioned in this survey, starting
with the creative writing of the diarist
in the Breadboard ads. Each month
a humorous diary entry is presented,
combining
topical
events
and
restaurant news.
Also popular are:
• The ads from Friends of the
Animal Shelter.
• Ads with restaurant coupons.
• Anderson Auto Body & Paint.
• Love Revolution.
• Real estate ads with listings.
• Brothers Restaurant.
• Bloomsbury’s holiday ads.

PEOPLE/BUSINESS
BEST NEW BUSINESS IN
TOWN (LAST YEAR)
The free enterprise system doesn’t
revolve around Wall Street and the
stock market. Its bread and butter are
creative and innovative individuals
who are willing to take a chance and
open their own businesses. And the
system is alive and well in Ashland,
as our readers named quite a few
new businesses, including Caldera
Brewery & Restaurant, located at
590 Clover Lane on the other side of
Exit 14, which won this category for
2014.
• Sammich, at 424 Bridge Street.
• Manzanita, an offshoot of Flower
Tyme, located at 90 N. Main.
• Bella Terra, a jewelry store at 60
E. Main.
• Salame, a restaurant on the
Plaza.
• Revive Home Décor, an upscale
consignment shop at 264 4th Street.
• Oberon’s, a restaurant on the
Plaza.
• Spice & Tea Exchange at 88 N.
Main.
• Hill Station, a gallery and gift
store at 287 4th Street.

Life at the top ain’t easy. You have
to unlock the door every morning,
turn on the A/C, make sure the till
is adequately stocked, oversee “x”
number of employees (all of whom have
their own personal life stories and/
or foibles, by the way), place orders,
organize the store room, hold clients’
hands, etc., etc. The list is endless.
After all the votes were counted,

FAVORITE MIDDLE
SCHOOL TEACHER
The last job I had before starting
the Sneak Preview in 1986 was as a
substitute teacher at Lincoln Savage
Middle School outside Grants Pass. For
the lesson plan, the teacher arranged
for a movie to be shown, and I thought
it would be something boring like a
documentary on the “Mating Habits of
Pine Martens” or something. Instead,
it was my favorite movie of all time,
Back to the Future, and I watched it
five times that day.
Winning this category for 2014 was
Diana Warner, who teaches drama
and directs a couple of productions
each year at the Middle School.
• Larry Hansen, 7/8 Math.
• Joann Pinder, 6th Math.
• Bob Julian, 7/8 Social Studies.
• Karl Pryor, 6th Language Arts.
• Dick Streng, 6th Language Arts.
FAVORITE SCHOOL
SECRETARY
Yeah, the principal might sit at
the Big Desk and make Important
Decisions, but it’s the secretary who
really runs the school. Our readers
were able to name a few of them,
Becky and Doug Neuman were voted “Favorite Businesspeople.”
including Meg Wright of Bellview
Elementary.
Also receiving a fair amount of
votes were:
• Sheila Holtey at the high school.
• Callie Mercer at the high school.
FAVORITE LOCAL
SPORTS COACH
By all rights, the Quiz Bowl team
should get as much coverage as
sports, but that ain’t the world we
live in. When the Super Bowl is the
most watched program in the entire
year, you know that football reigns
supreme.
Once again, SOU football coach
Craig Howard won this category, as
he led the Raiders into the playoffs
for the second year in a row, despite
getting off to a slow start.
“I joined Groskopp & Ryland
because they offer a special
kind of care.”

F A M I LY N U R S E P R A C T I T I O N E R
At Groskopp & Ryland our patients tell us they feel like we’re

INSTRUCTOR
AT SOU
They’ve made the news recently
because of budget cuts and a small
dip in enrollment, but 2014 promises
to be a good year for Southern Oregon
University. Their new dorm complex is
state-of-the-art, and the curriculum
and teaching staff provide students
with a quality education and a useful
degree.
A number of SOU faculty were
named by our readers, including
this year’s number one, James
Edmondson, at SOU’s Ashland Center
for Theatre Studies.
Also featured were:
• Mary Russell-Miller, Psychology.
• Dennis Slattery, Business.
• Mike Rousell, Education.
• Alexander Tutunov, Music.
• Erik Sol, Physical Education.
• Paul French, Music.
FAVORITE DENTIST
I used to go into a panic attack
when visiting the dentist, but with
all the innovations that have been
developed over the last twenty years,
it’s like a walk in the park these days.
I even received a complimentary handparaffin dip at the last dentist I visited.
Nineteen different dentists were
mentioned by our readers, and in the
end perennial favorites Gary McGraw
and Dan Jackson came away as
winners. Gary has won this in 1991,
1998 and 2010, while Dan has been
named in 1992, 2008 and 2011.
The vote was very close, however,
and the Top Ten featured:
• Brady Frank.
• Medhi Ghavam.
• Eugene Robbins.
• Edward Warr.
• Joe Cochran.
• Pete Schwarzer.
• Mike Henneman.
• James Benson.
FAVORITE DOCTOR
About a month ago my daughter
and I got hooked on House reruns.
The show always has one or two weird
diseases that have to be diagnosed,
and I almost feel as if I could hang my
shingle somewhere and tell people,
“no, you don’t have a muscle disorder;
it’s merely a hole in your left ventricle
that was not diagnosed.” Or something
like that.
And when it comes to diagnosing
and curing illnesses, our readers most
often mentioned family practitioners
John Delgado and Craig Mather.
• Richard Morris.
• Sylvia Chatroux.
• Jani Rollins.
• John Sager.
• Howard Morningstar.
• Karin Kuhl.
• Andrew Kuzmitz.
FAVORITE
NATUROPATHIC DR./
ACUPUNCTURIST
There will never be a House-type TV
show centering around naturopathic
doctors and acupuncturists because
in most cases, afflictions can be
explained by something very simple,
like a lack of selenium in the diet.
And in that regard, our readers
most often named naturopathic
doctors Geoff Hougton (of Clear Creek
Healing Arts) and Bonnie Nedrow
(Healthcare for Women and Children).
Also mentioned a lot were: Linda
Herrick, Gloria Schwartz, and
Shandor Weiss.
On the acupuncture side of the
ledger, it was a little more heated, as
there are actually 28 acupuncturists
in the Ashland area. The votes were
spread out all over the place on this
one, as it seems everyone has their
favorite, so we’ll list the Top Ten in
alphabetical order:
• Mark Abelle.
• Ken Bendat.
• Jenn Collins.
• Megan Doty.
• Kristi Heatherstone.
• Jody Herriott.
• Jason & Kara Miller of Jade
Mountain Medicine.
• Lori Paiken.
• Molly Romero.
• Suzanne Sky.

Biologists believe that complex,
image-forming eyes have evolved
some 50-100 times over the last 600
millions years. A common ancestor
in the vertebrates was probably
some mollusk, with only the most
basic photoreceptor cells. Then, well,
evolution and/or God took over …
your choice.
When it came to picking their
favorite optometrist, our readers also
had to make a tough choice. The top
four were excruciatingly close, with
Eric Dukes of Progressive Optometry,
tying with Ken Ehlers of Optical
Expressions.
But like I said, it was close at the
top, as both Ken Harris (Ashland
Optometric Clinic) and Ken Loftus
(Ashland Eye Care) received a lot of
votes.
FAVORITE PHYSICAL
THERAPIST
The human body is chock full of
hinges, pulleys and axles, each of
which has to be in perfect harmony
with the other. A lot of times, either
because of accidents, injuries or
general wear and tear, the system
breaks down. And that’s where a
physical therapist can set everything
straight.
Taking down number one in this
category for 2014 was Mike Siegl of
Ashland Physical Therapy, followed
by:
• Roger Bradshaw.
• Gavin Kleiman and Debbie
Stamper of Kleiman & Stamper
Physical Therapy.
• Timothy Palmesano of Jackson
County Physical Therapy.
• James Yang.
• Rachael Resch of Synergy
Physical Therapy.
• George Lescher of Jackson
County Physical Therapy.
FAVORITE HAIR
STYLIST
I always wondered who said, “It’s
better to look good than to feel good,”
so I looked it up. It was Fernando
Lamas. Then I had to look him up. He
was an Argentine actor who made it
big in Hollywood playing “Latin lover”
roles. And let me tell you … his hair
looked good!
Where would Fernando go if he
were in Ashland wanting to look
good? Landing at the top according
to our readers was Lezlie Green of
Waterstone Spa. Lezlie was born in
Vancouver, British Columbia, and
began her hair design career thirty
years ago as an apprentice in a
London, Ontario, salon.
• Julie Schmiess of Blue Giraffe.
• Mona Bernard of Hair City.
• Susan Zastoupil of Be Cherished.
• Edythe Westbrook.
• Stormy Dewitt at Plaza Salon.
• Sherrie Rockwell at Sunshine
Salon.
• Linda Hood of Victoria’s Salon.
• Ann-Britt Malden of Renu.
• Drew McDermott at Salon

You’ve seen those before and after
pictures, right? The lady on the left
looks like she’d just walked across
the Sahara Desert, fighting off snakes
and pit bosses, then voilá, one visit
to a beauty salon and a quick facial,
and she suddenly looks like Michelle
Pfeiffer at twenty.
Where to go for that perfect facial?
Our readers most often picked the
Blue Giraffe, followed by:
• Waterstone Spa.
• Pure Alchemy.
• Lilly Baty’s Facials at Sunshine
Salon.
• Chloe.
• Recess.
• Serena Beach.
• Be Cherished.
FAVORITE MANICURIST
Last year we had the category,
“Best Place to Get Manicures,” but
this year we were looking for that one
specific individual to give this a more
personal touch. And in that regard our
readers love the work done by Rachel
Martin of the Blue Giraffe.
• Lee Pham at Recess.

• Waterstone Spa.
• Chozu.
• Sunshine Salon.
• Plaza Salon & Spa.

• Be Cherished.
I bought my first-ever brand new
car in 1985, and within three weeks
some idiot at a grocery store left his or
her shopping cart unattended, and it
rolled down the hill, smashing into my
car. It was a big bummer. I immediately
called an auto body shop and had the
dent removed and got a new coat of
paint on the door … as good as new.
Where to go when something
similar happens? Our readers most
often picked Anderson’s Auto Body &
Paint at 1383 Hwy 99 North, followed
by:
• Star Body Works.
• South Valley Auto Body &

• N. Main Auto Body.
• Butler Ford.
FAVORITE AUTO
REPAIR SHOP
Okay, this category got real
confusing for the vote counters
because there’s an Ashland Auto
Repair and an Ashland Automotive,
Inc. So when someone writes down,
“Ashland Auto,” what do you do?
If we counted their votes together,
the winner was both Ashland Auto
Repair, Greg Bailey’s shop at Lithia
Way and Pioneer/Oak, and Zach
Edwards’ Ashland Automotive, Inc.,
at 280 E. Hersey.
Individually, however, they were
both edged out by Dan Dawson’s
McClure’s Auto Repair at 1765
Siskiyou. Like I said, it got real
confusing.

really need a lawyer. Then you’re ready
to do bodily harm to anyone who even

when it comes to wonderful attorneys,
our readers most often mentioned
Gary Turner, who also won this

JOURNAL ENTRY #45
December was a tough month for me. Pipes froze,
twisted my knee when I slipped on the ice, and I
realized that Egg Nog Lattes at the Breadboard
wouldn’t last forever. Apparently, Egg Nog is a
“seasonal” thing. What? What genius came up with
that idea? So, I was stewing about this and slipping
and sliding my way to the Breadboard the other morning and the sky was grey and they kept saying it would
get better but somebody whizzed past me on North Main
and slushy gravely mush splashed on me and I was just
feeling really blue, you know? And I got to the
Breadboard and Chika greeted me at the door and
everyone was so cheerful and as I ordered one of my
last Egg Nog Lattes, they asked me why I seemed so
down and I told them - then, I added, “Oh, but that’s
not all, my cat wet the bean bag in my room.” Yeah, I
mean, I have issues I’m dealing with, you know? Then
the Pumpkin Walnut Pancakes came and I slowly raised
my utensils, tears streaming down my cheeks, and I
muttered, “Bet these will be gone soon too.” Zach
happened to be walking by and said, “what about the
pancakes?” And I said, “Bet these will be gone soon,
too.” Just then, Zach saw Francisco walk by and said,
“Hey Paco, how long we serving pumpkin cakes?” Then,
Paco (they call Francisco “Paco” for short) did a jazz
hands thing and twirled around and laughed and said “I
may be crazy but I will serve them for at least the
whole month of January!” And then fireworks lit up
the sky and the big brass band played and the sun came
out and everything was beautiful again. Just another
day at the Breadboard.

Making sure everything in a city
of 22,000 people goes smooth as silk
every day of the week is a little like
herding cats. Something is always
bound to go wrong, either through
accidents,
dumb
decisions,
or
professional troublemakers. Our local
police do their best to protect us from
the unforeseen, and in that regard
they have our undying gratitude.
Anyway, we appreciate everything
they do, and this year our readers
named Officer Malcus Williams as
their favorite. Malcus has now won
this category five times in the last ten
years.
• Officer Bon Stewart.
• Officer Bobby Smith.
• Police Sergeant Hector Meletich.
• Officer Mike Vanderlip.
• Police Sergeant Art Le Cours.
• Police Chief Terry Holderness.

The earliest known surviving

under an ordinary engraving and
copied by photographic means. Now,
188 years later, digital photography
and Instagram have made this process
available to everyone at a fraction of
the cost.
Yes, everyone can point and click,
but it takes a professional to do it
right. Our readers were able to name a
few local photographers, and landing
at the top was Bryon DeVore, followed
by:
• Christopher Briscoe.
• Graham Lewis.

BUILDER/CARPENTER
From home remodeling to new
construction, the industry is back on
the move. The Great Recession is now
becoming just a vague memory in the
minds of a lot of builders, one that we
hope will not be repeated.
And when it comes to builders,
contractors, and carpenters, our
readers named twenty different
ones, starting with Darrell Boldt
Construction.
• Walt Stokes.
• Kevin Federline.
• Brad Roupp.
• Dale Shostrum.
• Steve Dewey.

FAVORITE PLUMBER
I went to a wedding last summer
held in the backyard of the bride and
groom’s house. A half-hour before the
wedding, the plumbing in the house
went out and all the sewage was
backing up. A plumber was called,
and we could all see him on the roof
putting a long “snake” down one of the
pipes. It took about 45 minutes, but
he saved the day.
And where do our readers go when
they need their day saved? Topping
the list this year were both Gerald
Fowler of Economy Plumbing; and
Dominic Smith.
Other receiving lots of votes were:
•

your yard to sanity.
And when it comes to that, our
readers named both Dan Graham
of Yard Pros, and Alan Miller of
Miller Renaissance as their favorites,
followed by:
• Seth Barnard of Solid Ground.
• George Clark.
• Stacey Paige of Green Time
Landscape.
• Ken Laidlaw of Sage Hill.
• Zack Williams of Regenesis.
• Dirty Boots.
• John Stadelman.
FAVORITE JEWELER
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
but nothing can trick the eyes when
it comes to fine jewelry. The $2
million 20-carat diamond ring that
Kris Humphries bought for Kim
Kardashian just looks a lot better than
that knockoff from Wal-Mart. Where to
go when you want some good advice
from a jeweler? Our readers named
quite a few, with their top nod going
to Rich and Ron Hansen at Gold &
Gems.
Also receiving lots of votes were:
• Chuck Troutman at Art Fx.
• Rex Thompson at Bella Terra
Fine Jewelry.

How to Price Your Home Right

CUTEST BABY BORN
IN LAST YEAR
Okay, before anyone calls for a
Congressional investigation, I will come
right out and admit that this year’s
winner, Hunter Marks, coincidentally
happens to be my grandson. But you’ll
have to admit he’s cute.
Anyway, the five other really really
cute babies were: Isla Clooney, Miles
Donovan, Opal Eden Tejada-Ingram,
Brandon Wong and Alexia Marylu
Hillegas.
FAVORITE STORE
DOWNTOWN
It is used by small towns all across
the Pacific Northwest as an example
of how they want their downtowns
to look. Of course, not many of them
have the largest theater group in the
United States in their midst, but who’s
counting?
There are a lot of different stores in

CUTEST PET
We had four eligible contestants
this year (repeats from last year
were disallowed), and once again I

entire family vote on them. In the
end, Rossi Gabrielson (dog) won in a
close vote over Moll Tejada (cat); Lucy
Alexander (“the love dog”); and Chewy
Long (dog). Pictures of all contestants
are printed here.

I was born in Medford, OR in
1991 and have lived in southern Oregon since. I attended
Grace Christian until middle
school and then transferred to
McLoughlin Middle School, and
graduated from South Medford
High School in 2010. I was in
the last class to graduate at the
old South. Shortly after graduation I was blessed with my
daughter, Ava Mea Lamensdorf.
My Dad is Mark Lamensdorf,
owner of Star Body Works, so I
was raised around the automotive industry. Over the years I’ve
worked my way up through the shop. I started out washing cars and emptying trash cans, then to a technician’s helper, then worked on my own as a technician. About a year ago I was moved to the estimating/supplement side of the
industry, and so far it’s been a very challenging move, but I am also enjoying learning a different side of this industry.
I have had a passion for the outdoors since I can remember. One of my favorite things outside of work is training
and hunting with my dogs. I have three hounds and train them to hunt small predators such as bobcat, fox and raccoon. I also enjoy fishing, hiking, quads, lakes and really anything to do with the outdoors. I am very happy to have a
great job at Star Body Works and call beautiful southern Oregon my home.

the most frequently used method of

FAVORITE CITY
COUNCILOR
Nothing really earth shattering
happened in Ashland last year with
the City Council, which is probably
a good thing. The Plaza remodel and
the Road diet were probably the most
controversial (see survey below), but
other than that, it was just the same
old routine of approving liquor licenses
and honoring retiring city employees.
All six councilors were mentioned
in this survey, with Dennis Slattery
coming out of top, followed by:
• Pam Marsh.
• Carol Voisin.
FAVORITE COUNTY
COMMISSIONER
It’s extraordinary how isolated we
are here in Ashland. This category was
probably the least answered question
in the entire survey, and I would
surmise that the vast majority of
Ashlanders wouldn’t be able to name
all three county commissioners. One
name they do know, however, is Don
Skundrick, who came out on top in
this survey.
BEST THING

LAST YEAR
Just to prove how divided the
community was over the Road
Diet, this was named as “best thing

year.” But as you will see in the next
question, not everyone agreed.
Other “good things” included:
• Obamacare.
• Redoing Guanajuato Way.
• Allowing chickens in town.
• Putting blinking lights for
pedestrians on Siskiyou.
• ACH-Asante merger.
• Flower baskets on Plaza.

A VERY UNSCIENTIFIC
POLITICAL POLL
Each year we ask our readers to
answer four political questions just
to gauge the mood of the community.
These answers are “relatively” accurate
since very few people stuff the ballot
for them.
1. Should the Normal Avenue
rural area be turned into highdensity housing? Someone pointed
out that it wasn’t that high density. I
agree and disagree. While parts of it
will be zoned low to medium density,
there are two huge tracts that will be
designated high density. That means
15 units per acre, which is squeezing a
lot of people in. Some people in the area
who happen to own land there want
to put in ¼-acre single-family units,
and the City won’t let them! Does that
seem right? Not to our readers.
Yes, it should be high-density:
36%
No, bad idea: 64%
2. Do you think the Plaza
redesign was a good one? Despite
all its good intentions about involving
the public in the design of the Plaza,
most of the recommendations were
made by a small committee of City
Council members and staff. The
one design element that has driven
everyone crazy, the grey pavers, was
made by … wait, we still don’t know
how that decision was made, or who
was involved. There has been some
massive buck-passing on that one. As
it stands now, the City Council admits
mistakes were made and that some
tweaking of the Plaza is necessary.
That’s probably all it needed in the
first place, but hey, it’s only money.
Needless to say, a lot of the citizenry
isn’t happy.
Yes, good design: 35%
No, bad design: 65%
2. Should residential homes be
allowed to rent to tourists by the
day? This whole issue boils down
to two issues: If we allow residential
homes to rent out to tourists by the
day, will it a.) completely destroy the
integrity of the neighborhood? And
b.) will it reduce the available rental
housing available to citizens? Vacation
rentals by owners (VRBOs) have been
extremely popular lately, and many
Ashland homeowners have taken
advantage of that by renting out their
homes and/or smaller units on their
property. Should we allow them to do
that? Our readers think so.
Yes, let them rent out their
homes: 66%
No, don’t let them: 34%
3. Was the Road Diet a good idea?
This is all relatively moot since the City
Council voted unanimously to keep
North Main in its 2-lane configuration.
Was it a good decision? The citizenry
was split down the middle on this one.
Yes, good idea: 52%
No, bad idea: 48%

“The Killer Storm”
with Rick Bleiweiss
I have met and heard a number
of our Valley’s musicians, bands and
singers, and I love how talented so many
of them are. This is especially gratifying
to me as I spent my entire career in
the music industry in New York as a
performer, producer, songwriter and
record company executive. Let me take
you back to when I was just a fledgling
“wannabe” rock guitarist and totally
immersed in rock & roll.
THE KILLER STORM
Jerry Lee Lewis, aka “The Killer,”
was one of my favorite artists. From
the first time I saw him on TV shaking
his golden hair, banging on the
piano, kicking away the piano stool,
and generally raising a rock-and-roll
ruckus playing “Whole Lot Of Shakin’
Goin’ On,” I was hooked. I bought every
record he made and learned to play
every song on every one of his albums.
On one incredible night in 1965, while
I was living in Miami, I saw him in
person.
I came upon an ad in the local
newspaper that Jerry Lee and his
band were going to be appearing at a
club for one night. I was ecstatic with
anticipation. I recruited two of my
friends to go with me. As the date got
closer the weatherman reported that
a hurricane (Gladys) was approaching
Miami.
I was hoping, praying, that he
would be wrong; that Gladys would
turn out to sea or die down before it
reached us. But as the morning of
Jerry Lee’s appearance dawned, the
hurricane was right on track. It was
going to be a big one.
Most of us can’t remember
what we were doing last
Tuesday. But all of us can
remember special events
like the day a child was
born, when someone we
loved died, the day a special
someone was married, a
great concert we attended,
or the day a significant
military action began.
So I asked my pals what they
wanted to do; they said that if I wanted
to chance it they’d go with me, so we
set out in the light rain that preceded
the storm. We reached the club at 7pm,
which gave us an hour to choose a
good table near the stage, down some
drinks, and wait for the rest of the
crowd to arrive.
At 7:30 the waiter told us that the
hurricane was forecast to hit about
eleven, and asked if we wanted to drive
home before it was too late. I said, “No
way. We’re here to see Jerry Lee, and if
he’ll play, we’ll stay.”
fiercer than the hurricane that was
raging outside.
By the time he ended we were
all exhausted. We thanked Jerry Lee,
bought him a drink, ran to our car, and
raced back home just as the full fury of
the storm hit.
I doubt that I will ever again
experience anything like that night.
Here was a star who probably did one
of the longest sets he ever played, and
for just three fans. He put his heart
and soul into it. It was magical.
Years later when I worked at Arista
Records, Clive Davis said there are
special moments, days and/or events
that we remember that mark our lives.
Most of us can’t remember what we
were doing last Tuesday. But all of us
can remember special events like the
day a child was born, when someone
we loved died, the day a special
someone was married, a great concert
we attended, or the day a significant
military action began.
That night with Jerry Lee was
one of those splendid events that has
marked my life, and continues to
remind me why I was, and still am,
in love with music, rock and roll, and
Jerry Lee Lewis.
At about 7:45 we noticed that
there was no one else in the club, just
the three of us, the waiters, and the
bartenders. I asked the waiter if The
Man was in the house. “He is,” I was
told, and at exactly eight o’clock Jerry
Lee and his small band took the stage.
Jerry Lee looked out at the “audience”—
us. “Don’t worry, we’re here and I am
your biggest fan. Let it go, Jerry Lee,”
I yelled.
I knew every song that he ever
recorded. As soon as he finished one
song I’d call out another request. I
called out obscure B-sides from singles
that never made it. I called out the
long-forgotten tracks from his first
album (I had worn out two copies). I
think he almost fell off his bench when
I requested the “Ubangi Stomp” from
that album and sang it word for word
with him.
That night Jerry Lee Lewis did a
two-and-a-half hour concert for three
fans, eight waiters and two bartenders.
He pulled out all the stops. He did
glissandos on the piano until his
fingers were sore. He kicked stools
and benches. He jumped on the piano.
He screamed and sang until he was
hoarse. The rock and roll storm that
he created inside that club was much

More on Dick Groat
Dear Editor:
Backlash from the
Storm of ‘13
Dear Editor:
Good catch by reader Jon Lange
(Sneak Preview “Letters,” December 1,
2013) on the error by your Calendar
editor concerning shortstop Dick
Groat of the 1960 Pittsburg Pirates.
Now, can he recall the university
Dick Groat attended? My daughter is
an alum and my undergrad grandson
letters in swimming.
I wasn’t in Pittsburgh for the
1960 World Series, but fortunately I
attended both in the 1970s.
Peanut Heaven memories
Hugh Hohe
Via e-mail
(Editor’s Note: We got our Calendar
editor Nick Wiesinger under the klieg
lights, and he admitted he had no idea
where Dick Groat went to college. So
we looked it up, and it was Duke.
We also looked up Mr. Hohe’s
reference
to
Peanut
Heaven.
Apparently,
the
orange-colored
seats at Three Rivers Stadium in
Pittsburgh were often referred to by
local patrons as “Peanut Heaven.” We
are encouraging Mr. Wiesinger to use
Google more often since his brain is
slowly losing it.)
Another Fan of
Reese Witherspoon
Dear Editor:
I am thrilled to see another
Ashlandite mourning the loss of
Reese (Witherspoon) to our town,
even if it was really just an ad for the
Breadboard (Sneak Preview, December
1, 2013), or so friends advised me.
I was one of seven people who
was chosen to “eat” “with” her at
the Breadboard on that lovely day.
Spending the previous eight hours
in a 1990 Honda driving around and
around and around and around the
Plaza, it was nice to be closer to the
action, i.e. Reese. We were served ice water and
listened to the French conversation of
the director. There were ten minutes of
action (keep the French accent here),
and she was gone.
Living in Ashland since 1981, I too
believe those scenes will be pivotal to
the movie. I pointed out the beautiful
view of the mountains to my dinner
partner, and he turned to look. I’m
sure this was caught on camera,
bringing everyone’s attention to our
wonderful town. Go Wild! And thanks for the heads up on
the turkey burger.
Sincerely,
Judy Kerr
Ashland, Oregon
Here is a letter I sent to the City
Council this morning (December 14):
Ten days after the storm, word is,
on the snow packed, icy side streets
of Ashland, that the reason our roads
haven’t been cleared is that the City
doesn’t have the money to take care
of anything more than clearing the
two main streets, and of course,
downtown.
Perhaps if our present City Council
hadn’t felt the need to revamp our
once charming downtown Plaza, and
if they hadn’t spent a small fortune
adding over-sized and rarely used
bicycle lanes to North Main Street,
there would have been money for the
City to fulfill its duty to its citizens
by providing safe streets to drive and
walk on.
Perhaps we’re supposed to pool
our resources and hire someone to
remove the snow and ice, as we are
required to do the same if we want
curbs and sidewalks in our newer
neighborhoods.
Enough! I will not be voting for our
current mayor or any current member
of this short-sighted City Council. And
word is on those same icy streets that
no one else will be either! Sincerely,
Carole Davis Ashland, Oregon
The Grey Paver
Controversy
Continues
Dear Mayor Stromberg:
I urge you to appoint Downtown
Improvement Committee members
who are comprised solely of Ashland
residents and Ashland resident
business owners, and only those who
are sensitive to the esthetics and rich
history of our town. Mr. Mayor, I know you are a
spiritual man; you told me in our
meeting last fall of your deep spiritual
experiences. How can a man of such
sensitivity and insight be blind to the
obvious lack of soulfulness and beauty
in the new Plaza?
I don’t believe you are, but I feel
there are pressures upon you from
many sides that may cause you to
capitulate to the status quo, and to
appoint committee members with
such views. I urge you not to succumb
to these pressures.
Don’t allow this Plaza disaster to
continue to divide our town. These
issues will not go away, ever, until
they are resolved.
The Plaza pavers reach over 140
degrees in the hot summer sun,

cigarette butts and debris litter the
gaps between the bricks, former
proponent Russ Silbiger is “as pi**ed
as anyone about the gray pavers;”
and Plaza artist Sue Springer says,
“In retrospect, we should have let the
Council pick the pavers.” Even your
close associate, Councilman Dennis
Slattery, has said to me the info booth
is “Mortuary gray.”
Are the dark pavers any less
mortuary gray? Half the people polled
who have an opinion on the Plaza—by
police, park staff, and our petitioner’s
group—have expressed negative views
of the Plaza, especially the gray pavers.
Just ask citizen officer Tony Abshire.
Even many proponents hate the
gray pavers. Over 500 people have
signed a petition demanding Plaza
beautification and decrying the pavers.
Still more feel the same way who have
yet to sign.
The Plaza now resembles a large
gray ashtray in the epicenter of our
beautiful town. Its hurts the image of
Ashland immensely. You are the one person, the
only person, who by your committee
choices, will decide the outcome of this
matter. I urge you to use compassion,
sensitivity and foresight in the
selections you will be called upon to
make. Sincerely,

Petitioners for Restoration of Our Plaza
Cats & Birds: Two
Sides to Every Story
Dear Editor:
I suspect you may receive a few
letters like mine.
I read with sympathy the letter
from the cat owner who lost his cat to
a hit-and-run driver (Sneak Preview
Letters, December 1, 2013, “Cats
Beware”). As a little boy I remember
when my pet kitten was run over. I
was devastated.
But should a responsible cat owner
allow a pet to roam the neighborhood?
The American Bird Conservancy
has initiated a campaign to keep cats
indoors. While exact numbers are not
known, millions of birds and perhaps
billions of small animals are killed
each year by the 75 million plus pet
cats (and perhaps a similar number of
homeless animals who usually live a
short, miserable life).
Well-fed cats do kill birds and
small mammals. Cats with bells do
kill birds. Domestic cats are not a
natural part of our ecosystem.
This cold snap has been hard
on the birds. With shrinking habitat
they need all the help they can get. We
try to make our garden and property
attractive to both the local birds and
those traveling through. We enjoy
the juncos, jays, doves, towhees,
finches and the others who visit each
day. Daily I have to chase slinking
neighborhood cats away.
Interested readers may want to
check the American Bird Conservancy’s
“Cats Indoors” campaign. Their
website has a sobering article on the
impact of cat predation on birds and
other wildlife.
Sincerely,
Dale S. Smith
Ashland, OR 97520
(Editor’s Note: Suspecting that
there were two sides to every story, I
Googled this problem and found an
interesting article by “Steve Dale’s Pet
World” entitled, “Without Cats, Birds
Would Suffer and So Would We.”
According
to
Dale,
without
neighborhood [and feral] cats, the
rodent population would soar. A study
in New Zealand found that when cats
were eliminated from a small island,
“the local rat population quickly
quadrupled.”
Dale suggests we talk to animal
control officials in big cities, where
budgets for rat abatement have been
cut. “They’ll tell you that without
community cats, rats would be even
more numerous.”
I find this argument ironic,
because I was at a Christmas party
recently, and a woman there was
telling me horror stories about the rat
infestation in Ashland. Apparently, too
many people are keeping their cats
cooped up in the house all day.
Dale was fairly emphatic about
this non-problem: “Of course cats kill
birds,” he wrote. “However, if there
were no cats, the truth is that many
bird species’ status would change
to endangered, or even disappear
altogether, which is the opposite of
what you may think at first, or what
bird supporters suggest?”
And why would some bird
population numbers take a nosedive?
“Rats and other vermin love to eat
bird eggs and baby birds,” he wrote.
“Ground nesting and flightless birds
would have no defense against what
would then be an out-of-control rodent
population.”
Dale’s conclusion? “The bottom
line is that cats are an easy target,”
he wrote, “And as ‘anti cat’ squawking
has flourished in social media,
cats as scapegoats has become an
unfortunate fundraising tool for
bird groups. Meanwhile, aside from
unveiling exploitative misinformation
(sometimes disguised as ‘science’), bird
groups do nothing in the real world
to help diminish feral cat numbers,
such as participate and support trap,
neuter, return.”)
Grounded with Kidney 1

The holiday and the solstice are
past, and the days thankfully are
getting longer again. Winter is the
Yin time of year, when the energy is
more about cold, moisture and solidity, moving inward and hibernating.
Winter is the time of the water element, which relates to the kidney
and bladder qi. Kidney 1, the first
point on the Kidney meridian, is located on the bottom of your foot,
where the instep meets the ball of
the foot. This point is a very grounding point, where you can absorb yin
qi from the earth. It is a fairly intense
point to have needled, but it is often
treated just with moxibustion. You
can rub the point to stimulate it, helping draw your qi down. This can be
helpful with headaches or insomnia.
An interesting exercise to do with
Kidney 1 is to walk with awareness
of this point. Barefoot is best, but it
works with shoes on too. With each
step, be aware of the connection
between the Kidney 1 area and the
ground. You can think of the point
being open to let the energy from the
earth in as you contact the ground.

All good things are Tabu
dispatches from campus
with “Siskiyou” Editor Shannon Houston
Somehow not only is it the
beginning of another term, but it’s the
beginning of another year. After winter
break, the students of SOU should all
be well-rested and ready to launch
back into their studies (at least in
theory).
Not much happens during the
month of December for a college
campus, or at least a campus like
ours; aside from quiet week and
finals, the month is devoted to some
much needed rest and relaxation for
students and staff. We had a little
less time off than usual this year,
simply because Thanksgiving fell so
late in November. Still, three weeks
is a fantastic breather and recharge
period.
Winter break always comes at the
end of a few weeks of craziness, making
it all the more rewarding. Right after
students return from Thanksgiving
break, they jump into quiet week,
which tends to be anything but quiet.
Usually the library is packed with
students frantically working on lastminute projects, potentially due to
that tricky little disease that seems to
be contagious among students known
as “procrastination.”
As everyone in Ashland is keenly
aware of, the end of quiet week was
graced with a little extra chaos this
year when a winter storm rolled in and
dumped more snow onto the ground
than I have ever seen fall in Ashland.
Granted, I am from Klamath Falls, and
I’m used to the snow, but it quickly
became apparent that the majority of
the Rogue Valley is not.
I affectionately referred to this
particular storm as “Snowmageddon,”
but maybe that was more for my
own amusement than anything else.
However, I’m sure I wasn’t the only
student semi-horrified when we got
news that the weather had shut down
campus for a few key days.
To paint a more vivid picture of
students during this time of term,
almost everyone is gathering for
some sort of study session, group
project work, library cram hours, or
something of the like which unites
students on campus in a way that
isn’t usually seen otherwise.
I myself tend to be a bit of a hermit
and don’t venture to campus unless I
really need to, but even I was hurting
a bit on the days that I couldn’t go up.
Things got a little hairier as final exam
times were rearranged for students to
accommodate delays from the weather
when Monday rolled around.
I know that winter break is often
the first time some students are able to
go home and visit their families for the
term, and having to make last-minute
travel adjustments based off schedule
changes or weather conditions only
added stress to the already stressful
week.
For those college students learning
to live on their own for the first time
(like myself), there were also fun little
surprises like discovering the lack of
hot water after a particularly chilly
winter night.
I know I wasn’t the only one
dealing with that kind of issue, and I
know others experienced much more
terrifying things like abandoning their
cars after getting stuck in the snow.
Everything turned out all right in the
end, as it always does, but all the
excitement definitely finished out fall
term in a way to be remembered.
So now we’ve hit the calm after
the storm, quite literally. With campus
closed, The Siskiyou typically ceases
publishing during break, save for the
occasional column or reports on major
news events.
In the spirit of making New Year’s
resolutions, this lull also provides the
perfect opportunity for reflection on
the previous term and on what we
could do as an organization to better
serve the students and our campus
community.
We have become more interactive
with students via social media and
have seen a bigger response from
readers, which is excellent. Of course,
we’re always looking to improve even
more.
The Siskiyou team has gone our
separate ways after break, but the
editors I have spoken with during
downtime are already brimming
with ideas for ways to expand our
publication in 2014.
That being said, I hope you will
all “stay tuned” to see what will be
coming up on campus over the year
ahead, and we will strive to keep you
up-to-date. On behalf of The Siskiyou,
I wish you all a happy new year!

“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”
by Cliff Bennett
Before going out to purchase that
new houseplant, take a moment and
look at the light the plant will be getting
and have an understanding of how large
you would like it to get down the road.
The most important thing you can do is
when you are looking at the options is be
sure to ask questions.
All plants are not the same regarding
the care they need. Some houseplants
are very easy to grow while some can
be a bit fussy and not as forgiving if
the location is less than ideal. The
nurseryman can help you make the right
choice. Good information is vital to your
success, particularly if you don’t know
anything about houseplants.
Now that you have selected the
plant, consider a new container as well.
I feel the container is just as important
as the houseplant that’s in it. This is all
part of the home décor. When selecting
a new pot, it is recommended that you
only move up one or two sizes larger
than the container it is in now. Helpful
hint: some ceramic pots are heavy and
difficult to move, so rather than planting
the plant into the new pot, simply place
the plant into the pot so it looks planted
but you can easily lift the plant out and
take it to the water. Houseplants usually
come in plastic pots and they are much,
much lighter. The only good way to
water a plant is to water well. In other
words water should always drain out the
bottom of the pot or you will end up with
dry sections in the root ball.
Most problems people have with
their houseplants is the tendency to
over-watering. Most plants would rather
be on the dry side than the wet side. A
stressed plant often has more disease
and insect problems than a happy
healthy plant. When fertilizing, only use
slow release types since they give a slow
consistent feeding rather than spikes of
nutrients; that’s often a problem with
water-soluble fertilizers. When you do
encounter insects or diseases, don’t
panic—simply place an infected leaf in
a plastic baggy and take to your favorite
nursery and they will help you. Most of
the time it will be easy to fix.
I would like to take this opportunity
to wish all of the Sneak Preview readers
a Happy New Year. I would also like to
thank those of you who read this column
each month. Happy Gardening.

Wow, what a cold snap we had last
month. That’s only the third time I can
remember it being so cold in the 22 years
I’ve lived here. Personally I hate the cold
foggy days but it’s nice to sit by the fire
and be warm and snug. Colder weather
sure wreaks havoc with our homes and
gardens. The problems caused with the
pipes also show up with some of our
plants. The plants’ damage, though, may
not show until later in the year.
Once we have figured we have seen it
all, not so fast. Our escallonia, photinias
and spring bouquet viburnums will
show their problems a bit later on. The
buds on our rhododendrons may have
been damaged as well. No need to panic
since it will be what it will be and not
much you can do about it at this point.
The snowfall we had was a drier,
much lighter snow than some in the past,
so the damage was kept to a minimum,
as far as broken branches and downed
trees. It may sound odd, but snow can
actually work as an insulator and help
our plants stay warmer. You can also
apply a product like Wilt Pruf that is an
anti-transpirant that will protect your
plants from moisture loss. Apply before it
freezes to plants such as rhododendrons,
boxwoods, azaleas, hollies and other
ornamentals. It also works really well to
protect your cut Christmas trees from
drying out and dropping their needles,
which reduces the potential fire hazard.
I noticed in my own garden that
any perennials which still had any life
left before the freeze are now done. Now
would be the time to finish cutting them
down’ those of you who mulch can finish
doing that. I’m sure that the mulched
plants were a bit happier than those
which were not during this cold snap.
I also like to leave most of my
ornamental grasses alone as long as I
can, since many still have nice-looking
pluses. Although when snow or rains hit,
many times it will lay them out and once
down, they do not pop back up again.
That’s when they need to be cut down
for the season only to come back fresh
next spring.
This is the time of year that local
nurseries see a spike in houseplant
sales. We are all spending much more
time indoors and we begin perhaps
noticing areas in our homes that could
be enhanced with a bit of greenery and a
nice decorative container.

Because of the holidays, there was
only one issue of the Sneak Preview
published in January 1994. We would
continue to mail out two issues a month
until January 1997, when we converted
to a monthly format.
The January issue, however, was a
big one as it contained the 4th Annual
“Best of Ashland,” the results of our
readers’ survey. In fact, since we were
only 28 pages, the “Best” took up almost
the entire paper, save a “Missing in
Ashland” segment, a one-page Calendar
of Events, and a 2-page classifieds
section.
*****
In the “Missing in Ashland” serial
murder mystery, Detective Ric Grizzly
had been taken off the case and
suspended by Chief Mix. He was sitting
in a corner table at the Beanery and was
approached by a dispatcher from APD,
who attempted to fill him in on the latest.
“Shh,” Ric said, glancing at the table
behind him where six people sat with
papers scattered around. “They might
hear you.”
“Who, them?” Simone replied. “Nah,
that’s just a local writer’s group. They’re
too busy reading their novels to each
other.”
That was a reference to my wife
Penny and her friend Stephanie
Bartlett, who used to meet at the
Beanery in their novel-writing days. They
were a good team—combined, they had
twelve novels published back before the
publishing industry imploded.

We actually got in trouble over
the “Best of Ashland” that year. In an
attempt to help our readers out with
the section on local theater, I published
a list in the December 1993 issue of all
the plays in the last year with the major
actors in each one.
Well … we got a scathing letter from
an actor at the Festival accusing us of
high crimes and misdemeanors because
we dared to decide which one or two
actors in a particular play should be
“nominated.” The reality was that we had
to squeeze as many names as possible
into a small space, and some hard
decisions had to be made.
It was probably crazy to even attempt
it, but we wanted our readers to have a
convenient cheat sheet available to jog
their memories. There were twelve OSF
productions and 25 Off-Bardway plays
to deal with, and it would have been
impossible to list every actor and actress.
Oh well, it’s the last time we ever
tried to be the good guy on that front.
The actor, by the way, moved on a couple
of years later. I went to Google just now
and noticed he’d done some work in
Hollywood after that, but since 2010 he’d
dropped off the map. I hope he’s doing
okay. He was actually a nice guy, and
I’m not sure why he got so upset … we
probably left his name off a play in which
he thought his performance was Oscarwinning material.
*****
The “Best of Ashland” that year was
pretty wild, as I was called by KCNA
radio, who wanted me to accompany
a DJ during a live broadcast in which
we would drive around in his car and
interview winners. It was actually a lot
of fun, and my family was whooping it
up back at the house. The kids even took
the morning off from school to stay home
and listen.
One of the first places we visited was
Fortmiller’s Department Store, where
Dean Fortmiller won for “Favorite
Businessperson.” Dean’s dad, Dave, had
started the business in 1935, and it had
been in the family ever since. The store
closed sometime in the late 1990s and
was replaced by Earthly Goods.
Dean moved to Talent and is
now working for Consumer Credit
Counseling Service of Southern Oregon.
He was always a big supporter of the
Ashland Chamber of Commerce, and
his daughter Dana now works for the
Chamber. Dave died a few years ago, and
it was very sad—it was a big loss to the
community.
*****
Winning “Favorite Teacher” was
Betsy Bishop, the drama coordinator
at Ashland High School. Betsy’s still
there and, in fact, has organized a 20year celebration of the AHS-Oregon
Shakespeare Festival partnership, which
will be held on January 20 (see page 49
for details). A “young” Kirk Gooding won
for “Favorite Doctor”; Mike Henneman
was “Favorite Dentist”; Mike Bianca was
“Favorite Policeperson”; Dennis Sweet
was “Favorite Veterinarian”; and Andrew
Chester was “Favorite Bartender.”
And the beat goes on (see “Best of
Ashland” this issue).

rosey round the rogue
by Alan Rosenberg
Peter Spring -- A Most Industrious “Bum”
“Hallelujah, I’m a bum, Hallelujah,
bum again...”
—Woody Guthrie
*****
Not many people I’ve known have
lived out their childhood dreams to such
an exacting degree. My friend, musician
Peter Spring, is that rare exception.
He recalls the moment in grade school
when he set his course in life.
“We were asked to write an essay
on what we wanted to be when we grew
up,” Peter was telling me recently. After
“a lot of serious thought,” he wrote, “An
actor, a minister or a bum.”
“My joke is that I’ve been highly
successful at only one of those, and
my ex-wives can tell you which one,”
he said. (Another favorite line, which
sheds light on the first, is, “What’s the
difference between a musician and a
large pizza? A large pizza can feed a
family of four!”)
But “bum?” I ask.
“What I had in mind was a
combination of the happy wandering
Buddha, Jack Kerouac, Carl Sandburg
and Woody Guthrie.” In other words, “a
free spirit, an artist, musician, poet, a
rootless, propertyless wanderer, not tied
to things or places.”
“Peter,” I say with sincerity and
admiration, “it sounds like you really
have been a great success.”
“And that is why I’m happy; I’ve
done what I set out to do. I’ve been on
a path all my life of conscious simple
living,” he says with a perpetual gleam
in his bespectacled eyes. “I live light on
the earth. It’s partly a spiritual stance
and partly a political stance against our
culture of consumerism and aggression
and greed and hypocrisy.” Through his
gypsy 20s, he never “owned more than
what I could fit in a car ... and I didn’t
own a car.”
These days he does own a car—”a
beat up ‘99 Suzuki Esteem wagon with
220,000 miles, a few instruments, a few
clothes, a few books.”
But for some time now, Peter, 63,
has put his vagabond ways on hold,
rooting himself in Ashland to keep the
“sacred” promise he made 23 years ago
to his dad that he’d care for his aging
mom. She’ll turn 99 January 16, and
he has been, with loving devotion, her
“chief cook and bottle washer, pillow
adjuster and crossword companion.”
He still keeps busy as a music
therapist for developmentally disabled
kids and, on occasion, as a piano tuner,
mover and fixer. What he doesn’t do
much of is performing. Once a regular at
the Camelot Theatre Company, he now
only rarely allows himself to be seduced
to the stage; his next gig there won’t be
until this summer for the production of
Pump Boys and Dinettes. And he makes
a point of playing at the monthly Friday
musical services at Temple Emek
Shalom. For a while locally, he played
with the reggae band Zion Train.
But what draws me to be in Peter’s
company is how good he seems to be at
living joyfully. While I applaud him for the
seemingly endless list of instruments he
plays, I’m more admiring of his mastery
of the instrument of easy laughter. And
his hard-earned perspective.
Since holding the hand of his
beloved 22-year-old son Steven as he
succumbed to a very rare bone cancer
in 2002, Peter has felt himself immune
to life’s relatively petty pains and
annoyances. “After that, everything is
small potatoes,” he said. “In many ways
I feel bullet proof … there ain’t no pain
like that.”
Picking himself up after Steven’s
passing, Peter continued a yearslong gig in a clown suit as Professor
A. “Happy” Toon, performing in the
schools for 5,000 kids a year as part of
a nonprofit educational effort to prevent
and heal childhood sexual abuse.
And then, soon after Hurricane
Katrina left New Orleans a wasteland
in August of 2005, Peter launched a
non-profit in Steven’s name (www.
stevenspring.org). As a musician who
had always paid homage to the old jazz
greats, particularly those with roots in
the Big Easy, he knew what he had to
do: he raised money and collected 48
pianos and 75 other instruments and
hauled them to the Gulf Coast in four
separate trips.
Over the next four and a half years,
Peter gave the instruments away to
musicians who had lost theirs to the
flooding. During a longer second phase,
he ran a free children’s summer music
camp and volunteered at a local high
school. A third phase saw him running
a free piano repair and tuning school.
Then it was time to return to care for
his mom.
When the book he intends to write,
The Tao of Music, Sex, Death and the
Kitchen Sink, becomes a bestseller,
Peter says he’d like to launch a new
spiritual organization, a church of sorts,
dedicated to the “worship of music as
a direct connection to the divine…
music as our species’ common mother
tongue.”
“It’s what we need,” he says,
“for humanity, for all of us, to live in
harmony.”

Ashland resident
Julian Hamer’s new
book, Everything Bites,
Scratches and Stings:
A Thousand Days in
the West African Bush,
was recently published
and is available at
Bloomsbury
(and,
of course, on the
Internet).
Hamer, who was
raised in Great Britain,
traveled
throughout
West Africa during
the
early
1970s,
“capturing
reptiles
and amphibians for
export to Europe for
various pet shops.”
His
colleague,
Karl
Bischof,
was
a
“knowledgeable
herpetologist
who
knew what animals to collect, their
identities, natures and location.”
“This adventure required living
in the bush isolated from Western
civilization and sometimes remote
from all human habitation,” Hamer
wrote in the Preface. “It was a life of
utter self-reliance, subsisting very
much as the Africans themselves did,
while camping in the wilds. Thus we
were able to experience and come to
respect the essential Africa in a direct,
authentic way and not merely from
the remote perspective of the tourist
or privileged class.”
Hamer
wrote
the
original,
unembellished account of the story
between 1971 and 1974, and has
added a “few helpful details in term of
history or politics and improving the
writing.”

Medical Marijuana
Conference Coming to
Ashland
The Ashland Springs Hotel will
be the scene for the Oregon Medical
Marijuana Business Conference on
January 30-31 (10am-5pm each day).
According to organizer Alex
Rogers, “The Oregon Health Authority
will begin accepting applications for
legal medical marijuana dispensaries
on March 1. Many people are
interested in opening a dispensary
or getting involved in the medical
cannabis industry but are unsure how
to do so or what is required. This is
a crash course on medical marijuana
industry preparedness.”
Rogers has recruited preeminent
business and political leaders from
Oregon and the West Coast to address
the many issues surrounding medical
marijuana.
Speakers
include
Anthony
Johnson of the Oregon Cannabis
Industry Association; Troy Dayton,
CEO of the ArcView Group; Don
Duncan of Americans for Safe Access;
Rep. Peter Buckley; and Aaron
Smith of the National Cannabis
Industry Association.

AHS and OSF
Celebrate 20-Year
Partnership
On Friday, January 20, Ashland
High School Theatre will celebrate
their twenty years in school-business
partnership
with
the
Oregon
Shakespeare Festival. The public
party and presentation will be held at
the AHS Mountain Avenue Theatre.
In 1993, with Measure 5, the
after-school budget at AHS was cut,
and producing a play was almost
impossible.
Matt Smith, then an AHS junior,
met with OSF administrators to see
what they could do. Kirk Boyd and
Pat Patton, both long-term OSF
veterans, rallied artists to work with
the students.
OSF Education Director Joan
Langley coordinated the effort.
Since then, AHS juniors and seniors
experience the unique OSF Master
class at AHS taught by professional
actors and artists.
The “open-to-all” party starts at
6pm with appetizers and desserts
in the Rose Studio (a $5 donation is
suggested).
At 7pm there will be a slide
show, presentation, speakers and
entertainment. Special guests will
be featured, some live and some on
video. These include Pat Patton, Bill
Rauch, David Kelly, Steffanie Leigh
(Broadway star of Mary Poppins),
Doug Rowe, John Stadelman, David
Thompson, Tyrone Wilson, and
more.
Tickets are available at Paddington
Station or at the door, or by going to
showtix4u.com.

Though SOU is shut down
for winter break, they are getting
ready for an exciting new show
behind the scenes: Home: Shelter
and Habitat in Contemporary
Art. This show was brought in by
Erikka Leppmann, the Schneider
Museum of Art’s director, who
says that “the idea of ‘home’ has
been a compelling issue for artists
in the past decade for numerous
reasons, including: geo-political
strife,
world-wide
economic
decline, and changing definitions
of family.”
It features the work of 28
artists—mostly from California,
but a few from other places, such
as London or NY—each with a
personal take on the idea of home.
I have only seen what is up
through the Schneider’s front
windows, but so far it’s quite
intriguing. It will be good to see
what this varied selection of
artists have in store for us. I am
particularly enthusiastic to see
new works by Gina Tuzzi, whose
past work includes miniature The works of Gina Tuzzi are part of the new art exmock-ups of large mobile home hibit at the Schneider Museum of Art.

Profile
Joanne Feinberg
Birthplace: New York City.
Birthdate: May 4, 1960. Children: Jack 17, Ben 14, Rachel 14.
Title: Director of Programming,
Ashland Independent Film Festival.
Tell us something about your
organization: The 13th annual Ashland
Independent Film Festival will take
place April 3-7, 2014. Founded in 2001,
we have grown from an all-volunteer
organization to one with five year-round
and seven seasonal staff, plus more
than 370 community members who
donate 10,000 volunteer hours to help
put on the event. The AIFF presents five
days of the highest quality independent
film from around the world. Film lovers
gather at the Varsity Theatre, and other
venues around town, to watch 85+
documentaries, features and shorts in
an intimate setting that allows audience
members, filmmakers, and film
industry
representatives
a
rare
opportunity to interact at various events
including screenings, conversations,
educational programs, and informal
gatherings. Visiting filmmakers rave
about the hospitality extended to them
by the community and our reputation is
growing nationally.
How long have you lived in Ashland?
In April 2002, we were driving through
town on a road trip and stopped in
Lithia Park to let the kids out of the
car. It was love at first sight. By August
of that same year we had moved to
Ashland.
Favorite
movie:
Film
Festival
Programmers never tell! I can say that
the movie I have seen more times than
any other and would happily watch
again is the animated feature The Iron
Giant.
Favorite play: The Unfortunates at OSF
this past season.
Favorite actor: Cary Grant.
Favorite actress: Katherine Hepburn.
Favorite TV show: Seinfeld.
Favorite book of all time: Too many to
name. Favorite book I’ve read recently is
Gary Shteyngart’s Super Sad True Love
Story. Favorite magazine: The New Yorker.
Favorite pet of all time: My childhood
dog, Freckles (but please don’t tell
my current dog, and running buddy,
Dakota).
What’s the first thing you turn to
when you read a daily newspaper?
Opinion Pages.
Favorite part of the Sneak Preview:
Best of Ashland issues!
Favorite hobbies: Trail running.
Favorite kind of music: Love
almost everything from The Goldberg
Variations, to Miles Davis, Neil Young,
The Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell,
David Bowie, The Beastie Boys and
Eminem. You won’t find Jimmy Buffet
on my iPod...
Favorite Beatle and/or Beatle song:
“While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
Favorite local restaurants: Agave,
Kobe, Noble Coffee, Ruby’s, Smithfield’s,
Standing Stone.
What would you do if you won $10
million in the lottery? Pay for my kids’
college tuition outright - YAY! I’d set up
an endowment to fund and secure the
future of the Ashland Independent Film
Festival; contribute substantially to
many nonprofit organizations; and I’d
travel more.
What is the most important thing
you learned as a child? Compassion.
Thank you, Mom. What person or event had the biggest
impact on your life? When I was 9, I
had a teacher who taught me how to use
a 35mm camera, develop film and print
my own photos in a darkroom. I loved
it and planned to be a photojournalist
when I grew up. This passion led to film
school, documentary filmmaking, film
and video editing, and ultimately, to
programming independent films at the
Ashland Independent Film Festival.
Proudest achievement: Raising three
children… and the 62 mile trail run I
completed this past August.

Aries: The new beginning that you have
been waiting for is just around the corner.
Everything points to a balanced surge of
focused and creative energy directed at
working through any relationship drama.
Taurus: Going into the unknown of the
void can cause you to reflect on your most
hidden emotions. As you take a deeper
breath, be gentle with yourself during this
time of healing.
Gemini: You will be happier and more will
be accomplished when you can come from a
place of love and forgiveness. You are being
asked to use a gentler approach to people
and current situations in your life. Cancer:
Your emotions may have a tendency to
feel out of control with expansive Jupiter
on your back, but the true prize will be
your ability to really open your heart and
connecting with others.
Leo: You are being put on notice to be aware
of the signs all around you. The support
and higher guidance that is available to
you now is amazing, just trust it. Feel the
love all around you.
Virgo: You are at a crossroads ready to
move forward in life. Now is the time to
create a strong foundation to draw to you
loving people that you can help and that
can help you.
Libra: Be gentle with the Capricorn people
in your life, or should I say have them be
