Reyes Signs with Agent,
Begins Pro Football Journey
By Brian Mortensen
Rogue River Press
Like a running back
busting through the line
and into the secondary,
Christian Reyes is pushing through on to the
'next level.'
Reyes, who recently
finished his senior football season at Charleston
Southern University, the
NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision program in
Charleston, S.C., is signing a contract with
sports agents Justin and
New Jackson County Sheriff Corey Falls was sworn into his position on Monday, January 5.
By Brian Mortensen
Rogue River Press
The first working
day of 2015 became the
first day on the job for
two new Jackson County
Commissioners and a
new sheriff.
A capacity crowd
greeted new commissioners Colleen Roberts and
Rick Dyer, as well as new
Sheriff Corey Falls and
County Clerk Chris
Walker, who were all
sworn in by Judge
Lorenzo Mejia in a brief
ceremony at the Jackson
County Court Building
on Mon., Jan. 5.
County Clerk Chris
Walker, who has served
her office for six years,
INDEX
was also sworn in to
begin her second full
term during the ceremony.
Mejia related what
he had read from Robert
Greenleaf's
writings
about being a servantleader. Along with an attitude of serving others'
interests before his own,
he said, a servant leader
encourages those who
work under him and
strives to make the least
privileged not feel less
privileged by what the
leader does.
Mejia quipped that
he had recently begun a
new term and was looking for a judge to swear
him. And he said, growing up on the Oregon
Coast, listening to country music and watching
Western movies, he was
proud to announce the
swearing in of Falls as,
"There is a new sheriff
in town."
The new County
Board of Commissioners
holds its first official
county meeting on Wed.,
Jan. 7.

Reyes, who graduates
from Charleston Southern in June, said the
agents sought him after
his solid two-year career
at CSU, in which the 5foot-10, 218-pound back
broke the school's alltime career rushing
record.

Editorial:
ROGUE RIVER PRESS
To Call or Not to Call
Alexander Graham Bell
in New York calls Thomas
Watson in San Francisco,
California. When did this
happen? January 25, 1915.
It doesn’t seem real that only
100 years ago the phone
was not in every household.
At the time the telephone
was something still unimaginable, but the telegraph
was the greatest invention
and had been around already for many years.
A short 100 years later
we have phones that are not
stuck to a set place. We can
carry our phone and call not
only locally, but also around
the world with them. Cellular
phones are now just one of
the many inventions that
seem to be part of the daily
life for most in the United
States. If you do no not have
a cell phone it would seem
strange. What is next?
There are already trials for
phones on pins that we stick
to our clothing. There are
chips being manufactured
that will be able to call out
and receive calls. Tiny little
chips that a person can
place anywhere on them. I
think its crazy, but technology is always going forward
and working toward making
life easier for the average
person.
I have heard lately more
and more people saying that
they would love to leave
there cell phones at home or
turn them off for a time. That
the cell phone has gotten in
the way of family. Most of
the time this is in reference
to another technological
advance with the Internet and texting on the
cell phone. People
complain that there
is no real conversation anymore.
This is in regards
to faces looking
down and texting or social
media taking
the place of real faceto-face conversation. Families are starting to say that
there are times in the home
that cell phones and electrical devices are to be turned
off. During dinner or watching a movie, at a sports
event, and even at social
parties it’s not a rarity to see
a cell phone being clicked
away or stared at for the latest twitter information or
Facebook update.
I can be numbered as
one of those that cannot turn
the cell phone off. What if
one of my oldest sons who
both live in Portland needs
to talk or texts me a question? What if I miss a call
from my mother? Will they
think I’m ignoring them? Or
will they know that my
phone is on off so that I can
have a moment without the
device calling me back.
Truth is truth. I have six
phones on my cell phone
plan. There are seven people in my little family and the
youngest would like a phone
but ten is still to young for
me to say its ok. We have
basic phones. I know I can
hear the gasps. We do not
have the Internet on our
phones and this has been a
family decision. Our
oldest child
is 24 down
to
the
youngest at
ten the decision
was easy for all.
All of us decided
that having the Internet with us 24/7
would distract us from
seeing the beauty
around us. Instead of
googling the type of flower
that we want in a floral arraignment, we simply go
and look at flowers and
smell them, touch them and
see the beauty. Instead of
googling the largest trees in
the world we go visit them in
the redwoods and hug a
tree. These are the memories that cannot be gained
by technology these are the
memories that hold us and
bind us as a family.
I’m not saying that we
are going to Paris to see the
Eiffel Tower. But those
things that we can go to and
see without having the Internet on hand is a blessing! I
have not at anytime thought
if only I had the Internet on
my cell phone. Crazy as it
seems Facebook has been
fine without me telling my
friends where I am and what
I am doing at any given moment.
Between you and me…
saving over $1000 a year
having basic phones vs.
smart phones has been
pretty awesome also!!
Mom: Those pants are really
short on you.
Jack: All my pants are short
on me.
Mom: Go get all of them and
let’s both take a look.
Jack: Promise you won’t
make shorts out of all my
pants?
Mom: Only the ones that are
too short on you and still fit
around the waist.
Jack: If you do that I will only
have shorts, and it’s really
cold outside mom.
Mom: Then we will have to
get new pants that are long
enough.
Jack: What if they are too
long? What will you do then?
Mom: I’ll roll them up and as
you grow, the roll will go
away.
Jack: That’s horrible! I
would rather have short
pants.
Mom: Nope... shorts for
short pants and rolls for long
pants.
Jack: We better find pants
that fit perfect. Because the
rest is too difficult.

Investigation Continues
in Callaway Case
By Brad Smith
Rogue River Press
Some two months later,
law enforcement officials still
haven’t identified human remains as those belonging to
former Rogue River resident
Keith Callaway.
On Oct. 26, 2014, a
mushroom hunter working
along the Chetco River
found human remains near
the Steel Bridge. Found
several hundred yards from
a dirt road, the skeletal remains were discovered
along with Callaway’s
clothes, knapsack and bicycle. A Curry County Sheriff’s
Office detective also stated
that Callaway’s identification
was found with the remains
as well.
In different media accounts, Det. David Gardiner
said that they have tentatively identified the body as
Callaway, but wouldn’t know
for sure until they got a DNA
sample from the family to do
a comparison.
Kimberly Bishop, Callaway’s twin sister, said that
she had given a DNA sam-
ple to authorities so they
could perform tests to confirm the human remains’
identity.
“The latest information
from (the CCSO) is that it
will take up to six weeks to
officially confirm his identity
with my DNA while it’s at
their crime lab in Portland,”
she told the Rogue River
Press in an email.
In May of last year, an
old high school friend of
Callaway’s – who was also
his emergency contact – became concerned after not
hearing from him for some
time. The friend contacted
Callaway’s landlord, who in
turn called the Brookings
Police Dept. and requested
a welfare check. Although
there wasn’t enough information to warrant a missing
person’s case, Brookings
police issued an all-points
bulletin to authorities
throughout the western
states to be on the lookout
for Callaway.
Bishop said that the last
time she had any contact
with her brother – who had
been living and working in
3
Brookings since 2007 – was
via a text message in 2010.
“After that I was unable
to find further contact information or receive a response from the address
and phone number I did
have,” she said.
Bishop added that her
family was doing the best
they could “to come to terms
with losing someone at such
a young age.”
“My brother and I were
twins and were close growing up, so it has been very
difficult for me to understand
that I'll never see him
again,” she said.
For now, Bishop said
that she and her family are
waiting for official identification before planning anything such as a memorial
service or funeral.
“When that happens,”
she said, “we will have a
better idea of when we can
make those arrangements.”
If anyone has any information that can help in the
investigation, contact Curry
County Sheriff’s Office Det.

possible drug dealing at the
Medford Walmart along
Riverside. Upon arriving in
the area of the possible drug
deal the suspect vehicle and
suspect where contacted.
Upon searching the suspect
vehicle, one and a half
pounds of methamphetamine and over $20,000 in
cash was located.
Walruff feels that the
suspects, Jeffrey Lawhorn,
53, and Amanda Wilson, 25,
transported the drugs from
northern California for distribution in the Rogue Valley
area. Both Lawhorn and Wilson are reportedly from
Yreka, Calif. The street
value of the seized methamphetamine is estimated to be
between
$12,000
to
$15,000.
Both suspects were
lodged into the Jackson
County Jail on the listed
charges and the investigation continues for others in-

Lawhorn is charged with:
Unlawful Distribution of a
Methamphetamine
• Unlawful Possession of a
Methamphetamine
Wilson is charged with:
• Unlawful Distribution of a
Methamphetamine
Both were lodged into
the Jackson County Jail on
a bond of $520,000 apiece.
As of press time, they
are no longer in jail.
Walruff was happy with
the busts.
“It was a lot of good
work,” he said. “We did our
jobs and kept a lot of meth
from spreading throughout
the Rogue Valley. We still
have a lot of work to do and
I feel that we’ll be very busy
throughout 2015.”
The Healthy Geezer:
Misc Questions
Fred Cicetti
Rogue River Press
Q. I understand that getting a hernia fixed today
is a lot easier than it used
to be. Is that true?
You get a hernia when a
section of an internal organ
bulges through weak abdominal muscle tissue. The
protruding organ is usually
the intestines. About 80
percent of hernias are located in the groin. The
overwhelming majority of
groin-hernia victims are
men.
About 5 million Americans develop hernias annually, but only 700,000 get
them fixed surgically. The
common theory for this
phenomenon among doctors is that most people fear
having an operation. But
hernia surgery today is not
the ordeal it once was with
a large incision and long recovery.
Today, patients requiring hernia surgery are in an
out of the hospital the same
day. The surgery takes
about an hour. Most patients resume their normal
lives within a few days after
the surgery.
The operation can be
done with a small incision
or by minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery that
employs a slender, tubular,
optical instrument with a
surgical tool.
Q. Do men have different
brains than women?
Here are some fascinating facts:
* Dr. Gabrielle M. de
Courten-Myers, a University of Cincinnati scientist,
has determined men have
about 2 billion more brain
cells than women but the
extra cells don't make them
smarter than women
* Louann Brizendine, a
San Francisco neuropsychiatrist and author of The
Female Brain, asserts that
the difference between
male and female brains explains why women like to
discuss their feelings, while
men love to dwell upon sex.
“Women have an eightlane superhighway for processing emotion, while men
have a small country road,"
Brizendine says. “Men,
however, have O'Hare Airport as a hub for processing
thoughts about sex, where
women have the airfield
nearby that lands small and
private planes.”
* A brain-scanning study
suggests that when males
watch a mild electric shock
given to a cheater, they
don't feel his pain. Instead
they enjoy it. Women's
brains empathize with the
cheater’s pain and they get
no pleasure from it.
* Men tend to perform
better than women at certain spatial tasks, target-directed
motor
skills,
mathematical reasoning,
and navigating. (Is that why
they don’t ask for directions?). Women tend to
excel at word tests, identifying matching items and
precision manual tasks.
* Men and women with
equal IQ’s achieve the
same scores with different
areas of the brain, Richard
J. Haier, PhD reported in
NeuroImage. He also found
that women
have more white matter
and fewer gray matter
areas related to IQ than
men do.
Q. What is hip resurfacing?
It is a surgical alternative to total hip replacement.
The hip is a ball-andsocket joint. The ball is at
the top of the femur (thigh
bone), and the socket is in
the pelvis. In hip replacement surgery, the ball is replaced with a metal or
ceramic substitute. The
socket is fitted with a metal
cup to hold the new ball.
The primary difference
in hip resurfacing is that the
surgeon doesn’t remove
the femural ball. Instead,
the damaged ball is reshaped, and then a metal
cap is anchored over it.
A crucial issue in joint
replacement is longevity. A
substitute hip is good for
about 20 years, and it is difficult to remove and replace
one that’s shot. Hip resurfacing, unlike hip replacement, preserves enough
bone to permit a total replacement if it is necessary
later.
Surgeons estimate that
10 to 15 percent of people
with bad hips can consider
hip resurfacing instead of
replacement. For example,
resurfacing is not recommended for patients with
osteoporosis, a disease
that makes bones porous
and vulnerable to fractures.

BARBED HOOKS
Oregon Fish and Wildlife
Commission will consider a
rule change Friday that will
allow salmon, steelhead and
trout anglers to use barbed
hooks on the lower
Willamette River, Youngs
Bay, and lower Gnat Creek.
The meeting agenda
also includes several informational briefings, to include
an update on implementation of Columbia River fisheries management reforms,
progress on the 10-year update and revision of the Oregon Conservation and
Nearshore strategies, and
development of a state management plan for marine
fisheries.
The current barbless
hook requirement on the
lower Willamette went into
effect in 2013 as part of the
Columbia River Fisheries
Management Reform package adopted by the Commission in 2012. ODFW staff is
now recommending a rule
change that would make
barbed hooks legal on the
lower Willamette River, inside Youngs Bay, and in
lower Gnat Creek. This
change would not affect the
barbless hook requirement in
the mainstem Columbia
River, or in select areas
within the Columbia River
Zone (Blind Slough/Knappa
Slough).
The intent of the barbless
hook rule was to reduce mortality among ESA listed
salmon and steelhead
caught and released by anglers. However, there are
high proportions of hatchery
fish caught in these areas
and ODFW has more flexibility in how it manages ESA
limitations in the Willlamette
than on the mainstem Columbia.
In addition, the growing
number of interactions between anglers and California
sea lions in the lower
Willamette River during the
popular spring Chinook fishery prompted staff to recommend that the Commission
reconsider the potential
trade-off between the use of
barbless hooks and angler
satisfaction is these areas
with a high proportion of
hatchery fish.
The Commission also
will be asked to set harvest
specifications and season
structure for recreational
groundfish that includes significant changes to the composition of the seven fish
daily bag limit for marine fish.
In order to maintain recreational catches within decreased
federally
determined harvest guidelines, the proposed rules
would limit anglers to one
blue rockfish as part of the
seven-fish limit and the retention of China, copper and
quillback rock fish would be
prohibited. As a result of improved stock status for canary rockfish, ODFW staff is
also recommending anglers
be allowed to retain one canary rockfish as part of the
daily bag limit; retention of
this species has been prohibited since 2004, as the
stock was rebuilding.
The Commission also
will consider new management measures for the commercial nearshore fishery,
which targets these same
species. These proposed
measures will increase the
harvest limits for black rockfish and reduce the harvest
limits for blue rockfish and
other nearshore rockfish.
24 hours in advance of the
meeting.

Through the nonconfer-
ence portion of their season,
the Rogue River girls' basketball team has been looking for not the perfect game,
but a complete game, one in
which they execute in all four
periods, in a position to compete from start to finish.
Against a Class 4A North
Valley team with an 8-2
record, they found it.
They got on scoring runs
against the Knights and they
survived Knight scoring
runs, stayed close and got
close, in a 37-36 loss in Merlin on Tue., Jan. 6.
They came back from a
35-26 deficit in the last three
and a half minutes, cut the
lead to one, and had two
chance to take the lead.
The final chance came
when senior Angelica Pamplona's 3-point try from the
top of the key hit back iron
as time expired.
Even with the narrow
loss, Chieftains coach Bryan
DeBolt said the game was
the kind of game his team
needed with Southern Cascade League play beginning
next week.

It was sure not the way
the Chieftains' boys' basketball team wanted to start
their game at North Valley,
but they could feel better
about the way it finished.
The Chieftains, looking
to end the nonconference
portion of their schedule, fell
behind 17-4 and never
caught up in a 68-42 loss to
the 9-1 Class 4A Knights in
Merlin on Tue., Jan. 9.
The Chieftains (8-6)
trailed 23-9 after one, but
they played the Knights
even in the second period
and were down 11, 37-26
with a chance to cut to nine
by halftime, but backup post
Thor Whitmore's bucket
made it a 39-26 halftime
lead.
And it poured on. The
Knights outscored the Chieftains 20-8 in the third period
to go up 25, 59-34. The
Chieftains would play the
Knights even again in the
final period, outscored only
9-8.
"We knew they were
very, very good," Rogue
River coach Ron Haynes
said. "We just went in told
them, "Play hard. Play with
abandon, and don't be intimidated. Play hard, end-toend, and I think we did that."
He could conceded that
the Knights were simply
deeper with more big bodies, and shot well. He also
said it was the hardest his
team had played.

Six-Man Chieftain Team Puts Three in
Consolation Semis
Rogue River Press
If the high school
wrestling season has a "dog
days," it might be Christmas
Break.
Local meets aren't usually scheduled through the
couple weeks off, and without the carrot of competition
and without the everyday
routine of practice after
school, attendance in the
wrestling practice room
might suffer.
What had been about 15
competitors weeks ago before Christmas was down to
six, as Rogue River's team
competed at the Rogue Valley Championships at North
Medford High School on
Sat., Jan. 3.
With 11 of the 16 schools
in Classes 4A to 6A, the
Chieftains were in minority of
smaller schools and with one
of the smallest contingents.
Only 4A North Valley, with its
five, had fewer than the
Chieftains' six.
But, among the Chieftains who did wrestle at the
first meet of the new year
performed well against bigger-school competition.
Sophomore
Gavin
Decker, in his first varsity
meet of the season, performed the best, going 2-2
and reaching the consolation
championship match for fifth
place and finishing sixth at
126 pounds.
His senior teammate
Brennan Moody also went 22, reaching a consolation
semifinal at 182.
Junior Dean Nelson was
also in position to reach the
consolation final, having
reached the 285 semifinal
via a forfeit.
Both Decker and Nelson
lost to eventual tournament
champions in their first
matches, Decker to Luke

Valle of Cascade Christian,
Nelson to Tyler Burris of
Henley, after opening in
quarterfinal matches.
Other Rogue River
wrestlers, freshmen Derrick
Geiger (126) and Aiden Beck
(152) and sophomore Eric
Goodboe (285), each in their
first varsity tournaments,
went 0-2 in their weight
classes.
Beck also met the eventual champion in his weight
class, Dillon Ulrey of North
Medford.
"We're scoring team
points, and that's gotta be
the goal," Rogue River
coach Justin Wright said.
"Not that the individual stuff
isn't good, but when we have
team success, then everybody wants to show up. It
helps everybody get better."
Officially, the Chieftains
were 16th, gaining 19 tournament points.
When you have the team
in mind, he said, a wrestler
has reason to resist giving
up back points or getting
pinned or even a takedown if
it's the difference between a
higher place or a lower one.
"Each time, we're getting
deeper (through tournament
brackets) against better
competition," the secondyear coach said. "And they're
learning those things that are
tough to teach without experience."
Wright said the Rogue
Valley Championships is a
better tournament this year
than last year with the addition of 4A Henley and South
Umpqua, 5A South Albany
and, a team from their own
Class 3A District 3, Lakeview.
Both Moody and Nelson
had won two matches at the
team's last meet in Grants
Pass on Dec. 19-20, but
Decker's advancement was
a surprise.

After falling in one
minute, 25 seconds, against
Valle in a quarterfinal match,
Decker pinned Bradley
Johnston of South Albany in
1:59 and then pinned Jared
Reichert of Ashland in 57
seconds in the consolation
semifinal.
He met Cameron Crenshaw of South Umpqua, who
had pinned each of his previous two opponents in consolation and made Decker a
third, in 55 seconds.
"I'm pretty happy with
those two wins, but it's one
of those things where you'd
11
rather finish with a win, but it
was a tough one," Decker
said. "I wish I could have
gone more on offense and
controlled the match from
the get-go. I did an all-right
job defending him at the beginning, but he ended up
turning on me, so he got the
pin."
Decker said he was concerned about a slow start to
this year but is finding a
groove.
"My moves weren't as
smooth as they were at the
end of last year, but I'm starting to get my moves back
more and be more smooth
when I'm doing this, so I'm

Chieftains’ League
Campaign Begins Soon
By Brian Mortensen
Rogue River Press
The meat of the season
is finally here.
Only the eight games of
the Southern Cascade
League (SCL) campaign,
beginning on Tue., Jan. 13,
will determine the fate of the
Rogue River Chieftain
teams this season.
Through the Chieftain
teams' first 14 games, including their Tue., Jan. 6
games at North Valley, they
appear to be in their best position, relative to the rest of
the SCL, in years.
The Chieftain boys (8-6)
were ranked at No. 21 in the
OSAA Class 3A boys' basketball rankings. At times,
they have looked spectacular, but they've had trouble
maintaining that level.
Part of that has been
due to injury. The team, only
a few times this season, has
played with its actual projected starting five. The
team, of course, was down
two starters when junior
guard Chris Campbell was
out with a foot injury and junior forward Connor Strickland was performing in
Rogue River High's school
play, when it played at the
Harrisburg Tournament in
which the Chieftains were
undermanned and badly lost
twice.
In fact, the only two
starters who haven't missed
time this season due to injury are junior guard Jordan
Ehrhardt and Strickland.
Chris Campbell missed
four games with a fracture to
his right foot, but hardly
missed a step once he came
back during the Bandon
game on Dec. 19.
Junior Rio Lopez was
thought to perhaps miss as
much as six weeks when he
broke his elbow on the first
day of preseason practice.
The Chieftains' ranking
is third among SCL teams,
behind No. 11 St. Mary's (95) and No. 12 Cascade
Christian (6-5).
St. Mary's has beaten 4A
Klamath Union (6-5) and
Phoenix (4-6) and has split a
pair of games with 5A Eagle
Point (5-3).
Cascade Christian isn't
the same dominant Challengers team, but it has
come on lately, beating No.
4-ranked Santiam Christian
(7-3) at home, along with
Creswell (7-4) and Nyssa (56) last weekend.

Haynes said his isn't quite

Sophomore Gavin Decker won two matches, faced the
eventual tournament champion at 126 pounds, and
reached the consolation championship match at the
Rogue Valley Championships wrestling meet in Medford
on Sat., Jan. 6. Each of his match wins came by pin.
Junior Keelie Worthington scored eight points over
the Chieftains' two recent games against Siuslaw
and North Valley, but even more important than
her scoring output is the defensive pressure she
applies through her quickness.

of drills in front of NFL personnel, marking the results
and keeping a base of information for each club to access in considering whom
they will draft or sign as free
agents.
College football programs
also host what are called "pro
days," where NFL personnel
are invited to watch and evaluate their players. Reyes will
work out at CSU's pro day,
and he will also attend the
pro day at a larger school in
the area, yet to be determined.
Reyes says he understands, being a running back
from a smaller school without
much national profile, he
most likely will not be drafted.
"But that doesn't bother
me any because all I pray for
is a camp spot," he said. "All
I want is to get in, and from
there, it is all on me to compete for those spots and
show what I can do."
Reyes is on a one-year
contract with the Turner
Brothers but owes no money
until he signs an NFL contract. Once he signs, the
agents will then earn three
percent of his contract.
Reyes said it had been
his mission for years to become a pro athlete, but,
growing up, he believed his
shot would come in baseball.
He was a state-caliber player
in three sports at Rogue
River High School before he
graduated in 2011.
"But I fell in love with football and want to continue my
career into the (National
Football) League," he said. "I
have always believed in myself even when others
haven't, and that is where it
starts, but probably after my
junior year of college did I realize I had a real shot to
make a team in the NFL."
Reyes, who is a married
father, said he's simply excited to see where he and his
family will end up.
"Along the way, I'm trying
to show my love and (pride)
in what I came from and that
is Rogue River," he said.
"People told me I would
never make it out of Rogue
River High School, and I just
saw it as a challenge and I
am truly grateful to God for
giving me the opportunity to
play D1 ball. I just hope my
journey doesn't end there."

throw-line jumper by Larissa
Hamilton, a basket underneath from Keelie Worthington and free throws from
Pamplona and Bobbie Rideout.
A 15-footer by Kortney
Moore, following a steal by
Rideout, cut the lead to one
point, 37-36 with 40 seconds
left.
Pamplona trapped in the
corner, delivered a great
pass to Moore underneath,
but she just couldn't get the
ball over the lip of the rim
with 10 seconds left.
The Chieftains got another shot when Worthington
intercepted a confused
Knights pass at midcourt,
giving Rogue River its last
chance, with an inbound
play from the side, with three
seconds left.
With Moore inbounding,
Pamplona shook off her defender, who overran the play,
leaving her with an open
shot. It just hit back iron.
"We're down about the
game we lost, but the fact
that we were in that position
to be able to take that game
against a team that's ranked
higher than us, we should be
proud of ourselves," he said.
Pamplona finished with
14 points, while Smith had
10.
Even with the defeat, it
had to leave them with a better aftertaste than the Chieftains' 58-49 loss against
Siuslaw on Sat., Jan. 3. The
Chieftains led Siuslaw 44-39
after three periods but were
outscored 19-5 in the final
eight minutes.
Rideout, one of two
freshman making an impact
for the Chieftains, led with
16 points.
Pamplona had 12, and
Moore had 11 in the game
played at South Umpqua
High School in Myrtle Creek.
"The girls played really
well for three quarters and
just fell flat in the fourth and
lost all momentum," DeBolt
said of the loss.

played really well from start
to finish," he said. "We didn't
have any let down time like
we've had.
"It was pretty huge for us
tonight to play that 32minute game."
The Chieftains came out
early, taking a 9-4 lead, but
saw the Knights score the
next 11 points to take the
lead at 15-9 in the second
period.
Rogue River would get
up off the mat itself, outscoring North Valley 8-2 through
the remainder of the half,
tying the game with Mackenzie Smith's 3-pointer out of
an inbounds play in the last
minute.
A Smith trey helped the
Chieftains take a 24-19 lead
in the third period, but they
surrendered another long
run, an 8-0 run as the
Knights ended the third period with a 27-24 lead. Another eight straight points
put the Chieftains down 3526 with three and a half minutes left.

Make 2015 Your Year to
Improve Financial Fitness
Lose weight, quit smoking,
find a new job and get out of
debt…does this sound familiar? Millions of Americans will
resolve to change their lives in
the New Year, but few will stick
with their goals.
In fact, a recent survey by
the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE)
finds six in 10 people will strive
to improve their financial wellbeing in 2015. Changing your
financial habits is a resolution
you cannot afford to
overlook. It’s time to flex your
financial muscle.
The experts at the nonprofit National Endowment for
Financial Education offer these
seven tips to help make your
financial resolutions stick:
Do it now. Many will wait
until they feel the time is right
to begin new behaviors. If you
wait until after the big party to
start watching your diet, or until
after that big purchase to start
saving money, the ideal time
will never present itself.
Write down your financial
resolutions. The NEFE survey
finds setting a budget, making
a plan to get out of debt, and
boosting retirement savings
are the top priorities for Americans in the coming year.
Clearly articulate why you think
your resolution is a good idea,
steps you can take to reach
your goal, and what you hope
to gain. Post your list where
you will see it each day.
Identify your money
morals. Understanding your
values and attitudes about
money will bring clarity to the
decision-making
process.
NEFE offers various online
tools, such as the LifeValues
Quiz, which will help you identify your values and make resolutions based on those
values. You can find the LifeValues

Whether for medical reasons or by choice, consumer
interest in gluten-free foods is
on the rise. The U.S. market
for gluten-free foods is expected to exceed $6.6 billion
by 2017, signaling the practice of cutting consumption of
wheat, barley and rye has
gone mainstream.
According to research
conducted at Texas A&M University, sorghum, a cereal
grain grown throughout the
world, offers slow digestibility
and a lower glycemic index.
Foods with a lower glycemic
index are believed to increase
satiety, which means people
feel fuller longer, which can
assist with weight management. Thus, the growth of the
gluten-free market has led to
a renewed interest in
sorghum.
Globally, sorghum is used
primarily as a human food
product, often in the form of
thick porridges, popped
sorghum, fermented and unfermented flat breads, cooked
and served as a whole grain,
malted into both alcoholic and
nonalcoholic beverages, hard
cookies, tortillas and more.
Domestically, sorghum is
proving to be a strong substitute for other grains. White,
food-grade sorghum can be
milled directly into whole grain
flour to produce a wide range
of baked goods and flourbased foods such as pizza
dough, pastas and cereals.
Giving up gluten doesn't
have to mean giving up the
treats you love. The recipe
below for Gluten-Free Dark
Chocolate-Peanut

using
sorghum is the smart choice
for its many benefits. For

Recruit a “financial buddy.”
Share your resolutions with a
trusted family member or
friend who can provide support
in helping you meet your financial goals. Find someone who
will hold you accountable and
will set a good example for you
to follow.
Vary goal intensity. Give
yourself a short-term objective
such as paying more than the
minimum on one credit card
this month. A long-term goal
could be setting up – and
adding to – the emergency
savings account you know you
should have but didn’t get
around to starting last year.
Monitor your progress regularly. If you are trying to reduce debt, make sure you
check your balances often. Set
aside a couple of hours each
week to address your finances.
Over time this will become second nature and part of your
normal routine.
Address conflict logically. If
you find yourself breaking a financial goal by reverting to old
spending habits, identify what
value might be causing you to
stray and take the time to ask
yourself if the decision is appropriate given your current financial situation.

Special to the Press
The whole thing began
right after the first good snow
this year. Herb Collins was
looking out his window at the
point on his small farm where
Lewis Creek cuts through a
rather steep hill. Neighborhood
kids were sledding up there
and trying to avoid rocks and
one gnarly tree that stuck out.
He also noticed that if the kids
were successful in avoiding
death and destruction, they
came to an immediate and violent halt at a submerged log

Samuel Colt’s single action revolver, known as the
“peacemaker” is a staple to
any story about the Old West.
But chances are we wouldn’t
have ever heard of Colt had it
not been for an event that
took place on January 4,
1847.
As the story goes in 1830,
on a sea voyage to Singapore, Samuel Colt whittled
out a wooden model of his revolving handgun. A year later
he made two working models,
and applied for a patent.
At the time of Colt’s invention, pistols were though of as
dueling weapons. The much

next unscheduled-but-dailyanyway meeting of the World
Dilemma Think Tank down at
the Mule Barn. Some executive decisions were made
rather suddenly, and construction began the following day.
Jim Kennedy showed up
driving a Bobcat, Doc brought
a chain saw, and Steve had his
four-wheel-drive pickup with a
big chain in it.
At the end of three hours,
a long, sloping gentle run
began up by the road and
looped around two turns, and
ended in a gentle upslope on
the far side of the frozen creek.
Of course, this activity ruined what snow cover there
was, so the kids looked disappointed.
But last week it snowed
hard, a good six inches, and
the kids went running down to
try the new sled run.
It wasn’t all that exciting
for them. So when Doc and
Herb and Dud and Steve
showed up, one of the kids politely pointed out to Mr. Collins
that they couldn’t really get
going very fast down that hill
on the new run.
“I know that,” said Herb.
“But see all those other steep
runs you have? You can go
break your neck on any of
them. This run is for a special
purpose.”
“A special purpose, sir?”
Herb nodded. “Steve? If you
please.”
And Steve brought out the
toboggan from his pickup
truck, and the old guys took
turns being kids once more
down their own sledding run.

more accurate rifle was preferred for long distant shooting.
For close up
self-defense fighting most
men preferred knives.
But Colt was sure his pistol would be in great demand.
And by 1836 Paterson Colts
were coming off the assembly
line in Paterson, New Jersey.
The Texas Rangers started
using the Colt pistol. But they
found it to be light, and didn’t
hold up well when used as a
club to hit someone on the
head. So, Samuel Colt made
a heavier model, and called it
the Walker Colt after Texas
Ranger Samuel Walker.
But the demands for Colt
pistols weren’t great enough
to keep his plant going. And
in 1842 Samuel Colt went
bankrupt. Giving up gun
making all together he started
designing submarines.
Then the war with Mexico
broke out, and the U. S. government started looking for
weaponry. And on January 4,
1847 the government placed
an order with Samuel Colt for
1,000 of his .44 caliber revolvers. Colt .44’s served the
military so well that the government kept placing orders.
Now infused with capital,
Colt developed a system of
mass production and interchangeable parts, making his
pistols affordable for the average person. And Samuel Colt
never looked back. From
1850 to 1860 he sold 170,000
small “pocket” revolvers and
98,000 larger “belt” revolvers…mostly to civilians.

The Chieftain girls (5-9)

success has been an improvement over the previous
two seasons, they are still
looking for a complete game
against a good team. It's
come a quarter at a time,
when the team's outside

that come with it, have been
at their best.
And the truth is, the
Chieftains' five wins have
come against teams with a
combined 11-38, against a

Wright said the Chieftains are down to the six
wrestlers he brought to
North Medford for the meet.
"For whatever reason,
illness, travel, et cetera, before the break, we were

and right now, we had
some atrophy, so after

He said he expected
numbers to come back up

"Just wrestling here with

That's a statement those
kids are making, and it
makes me proud to be on a

2A Lost River (11-1).
But as Chieftains Coach
Bryan DeBolt said before the
season started, each of the
spots behind the Honkers
might just be up for grab.
DeBolt said he believes
his team is ready for the
eight-game fray.
"Things are coming together, and the girls know
exactly what they want," he
said. "They came out and
did exactly what I asked
them tonight (at North Valley) and they played a pretty
good game like we wanted."
Illinois Valley (6-6) has
beaten Bandon and Gold
Beach (8-2), which beat the
Chieftains this season. The
Cougars were 6-3 before
losing three games at the
Sisters 4A tournament the
week of New Year's Day,
finding themselves overmatched with three losses
by an average of nearly 40
points.
St. Mary's (5-7), after
losing six of its first eight,
has won three of its last four
and rose to No. 24. It has
beaten Phoenix (4-5), Del

and DeLaSalle North (2-10),
yet, at No. 31, is still ranked

CHIA from page 13
that’s the reason many
active people turn to chia
as a natural source of energy.
Long used by the
Tarahumara people in
northwestern Mexico to
support running over long
distances, tiny chia seeds
are believed to help with
stamina and endurance.
Chia Considered A “Superfood”
The nutritional composition of chia seeds has
earned them “superfood”
status. They contain essential fatty acids that
offer anti-inflammatory
properties. Chia seeds
also have fiber, antioxidants and important nutrients such as calcium,
magnesium, potassium
and iron.
Whether you’re running a marathon, playing
soccer or just enjoying a
weekend of hiking, biking
or skiing, it’s important to
maintain energy levels.
Chia seeds can help: In
addition to their fiber content, the seeds’ capacity
to absorb many times
their weight in water can
slow digestion and reduce
blood sugar crashes.
All chia seeds, however, are not the same. In
terms of nutritional consistency, white Salba Chia is
the only form of chia for
which there are positive
published health and
medical studies.
A blend of the only two
registered varieties of
Salvia hispanica L.—Sahi
Alba 911 & 912—Salba
Chia is the richest whole
food source of omega-3
fatty acids (ALA) in nature
on a gram-for-gram basis.
These essential polyunsaturated fats help to improve circulation and cell
function.
Power Up
The best way to use
chia seeds as fuel is to
presoak them in liquid.
When added to water or
juice the seeds swell to
create a gel. This can be
enjoyed in place of sports
drinks—just add a twist of
lemon and a spoonful of
honey to taste. They can
also be added to almond
milk or made into this delicious treat:

“Chief Bigfoot” as Elusive as His Hairy Modern Namesake
By Finn J.D. John
Nearly every Oregonian knows a story
or two about Bigfoot —
the legendary and elusive ape-creature that
supposedly lives deep in
the wilderness and
serves as an inspiration
to crypto-zoologists
and bad reality TV
producers nationwide.
More than a few Oregonians have claimed
to have seen the elusive
fellow — or, at least, to
know somebody who
has.
Down in the desert
country on the southeast border of Oregon,
though, if you ask the
right people, you’ll
hear about another
Bigfoot — one “Chief
Bigfoot.”
Very little is really
known about Chief
Bigfoot; even his name
is questionable, and nobody really knows if he
was an actual Indian
chief. But he was one
of the participants in
the Native American
raids that years later
would ripen into the
Bannock War, in the
high lonesome country
where the borders of
Oregon, Idaho and Nevada come together,
and for some time he
was a pretty successful
raider.
Chief
Bigfoot’s
presence was first detected at the scene of
an Indian raid in 1862.
Over the following
year or two, parties
sent to the scenes of
massacres, raids and
moonlight stock thefts
started noticing that
one of the perpetrators
had left freakishly
large footprints behind.
Historian
John
Hailey quotes T.J. Sutton, an Indian fighter
attached to an expedition in 1863, describing
the tracks:
“We also discovered
and measured Bigfoot’s
track, which was 17
and one-half inches
long by six inches
wide,” Sutton wrote.
“At that time we had
no knowledge of the

man, but the enormous
size of his track attracted our attention
and so roused our curiosity that careful
measurements of its
dimensions were made,
and no little discussion
indulged in as to
whether it was a
human track.”
Sutton soon became
more familiar with
the mammoth moccasin tracks. Soon, it
seemed, Bigfoot’s footprints were at every
crime scene in southeast Oregon and southwest Idaho. But then,
this may have had
something to do with
the obvious interest
which the locals were
taking in the tracks.
Young lads, historian
Bill Gulick relates,
soon tumbled to the
idea of making a moccasin 17 inches long
and using it to leave
“Bigfoot tracks” at the
scenes of their pranks;
perhaps other marauding bands of Bannocks
had the same idea.
Over the years from
1863 to 1868, Chief
Bigfoot started taking
on some of the trappings of myth. Gulick
found about a dozen
references to his exploits in newspaper
archives, all of them
secondhand or hearsay;
nobody seems to have
witnessed the man in
person. The newspa-
pers claimed he was not
a true Indian chief,
but a part-white, partIndian desperado who
had risen to command
of local Indians sworn
to exterminate the
white settlers and gold
miners in the area.
Traces of Chief Bigfoot vanished after
1868, after the end of
General
George
Crook’s campaign to
force all the Indians
onto reservations. During that campaign,
Gulick says, Bigfoot
was reported to have
been killed half a
dozen times; perhaps
one of those times it
really was him.
But according to
T.J. Sutton’s account
(quoted in Hailey’s
book), the mysterious
marauder
actually
died that year at the
hands of a highway
robber named John
Wheeler, who presumably was after the big
chief for the hefty
bounty on his head.
Chief Bigfoot’s encounter with Wheeler
is told in high dramatic style by a writer
in the Idaho Statesman in November
1878, ten years after
the event it claims to
recount, and several
years after Wheeler
was safely dead and
therefore unable to object (he was killed trying to rob a stagecoach
in Arizona). Gulick
refers to it as a “piece of
folklore that incorporates many tall tales of
the day, lightly salted
with facts” — and he is
surely right about
that; but it’s the only
record we have, and for
many years it was believed to be accurate.
In fact, there’s a plaque
commemorating the
alleged event on Idaho
Highway 45, near the
north shore of the
Snake, put there by a
local pioneer society.
According to the
story, Wheeler set out
to trap Bigfoot in a
canyon south of the
Snake River, in Idaho
Territory; when he
captured his quarry, a
gun battle broke out,
in which the mammoth Indian was mortally wounded.
As he lay dying, the
story says, Bigfoot first
drank a quart and a
half of water and a
pint of whisky, both
offered to him by his
killer. Then he told his
story: His name was
Starr Wilkinson, a
member of the Cherokee Nation back east;
he was half white and
a quarter each Cherokee and AfricanAmerican. He was a
giant of a man, nearly
seven feet tall and over
300 pounds, with a 56inch chest and, of
course, 17-inch-long
feet. He’d come east on
a wagon train most of
the way to Oregon, but
as they neared their
goal, trouble had broken out: He’d fallen in
love with a young lady
on the train, and had
asked her father for
her hand in marriage.
The father made it
clear to young Starr
that it was all well and
good to be kind to a
young, friendly “halfbreed,” but that under
no
circumstances
would he allow his
daughter to marry
such an inferior creature.
Then one of the
other young men on
the
wagon
train
started moving in on
the girl, and — perhaps
motivated by a speech
from her father — she
shifted her affections
to him.
A few days later,
Starr found himself
rounding up stray
stock with his rival.
Words were exchanged;
then the rival pulled a
pistol and shot him in
the side as Starr closed
in and grabbed him by
the throat and throttled him to death.
Then, knowing he
was as good as dead
back at the wagon
train, Starr took it on
the lam, fell in with
some Bannock raiders,
thrashed them with
his bare hands, was ac-
cepted as their leader,
and launched the fiveyear reign of terror
that had ended with
Wheeler’s gunshots.
So, how much of
that story is true?
Well, it’s entirely possible that the whole
thing was made up by a
journalist looking for a
little fame. It’s a fine
and delightful piece of
frontier folklore, but
that’s really all it is.
That leaves us with
little more than a
name, some big footprints and a whole lot
of sketchy secondhand
information — a situation very familiar to
scholars interested in
that other notorious
Oregon recluse known
as Bigfoot, good old
Sasquatch. We can
only hope that when
some
modern-day
Homer finally gets
around to writing a
mythology for the old
Oregon country, he or
she will include a story
of the two Bigfoots
meeting, maybe one
summer day in a juniper or aspen forest on
the flank of the
Steens, to make common cause against the
march of settlement.
By the way, some
historians think the
city of Nampa, Idaho,
was named after Chief
Bigfoot — “Nampa”
being a word from the
Bannock dialect that
supposedly means “Big
moccasin.”
Others,
pointing out the unlikeliness of naming a
city after an outlaw
raider, believe the
name is a coincidence.
