s you
know, this
column
seldom devotes
attention to affairs outside of Jacksonville;
numerous other news and opinion outlets
exist for such information. However,
reports on the national level about Hillary
Clinton's emails prompted me to join in
the conversation, so please bear with me.
It matters not your political party,
your gender, your age... the rules apply
to everyone and anyone. Those rules are
very explicitif you hold office in any
capacity whatsoever... your emails DO
NOT BELONG TO YOU! They become
part of the public record and are subject
to the same rules of transparency that all
other documents are under. And there are
no exceptions other than in rare instances
involving security or litigation.
Every City Councilor working on your
behalf has been instructed about this. So
have I, your Mayor. These are the rules:
emails involving City business are to
be done using the City email address
assigned to us. That address is NOT
supposed to be used for personal email
when it can be avoided, only City email.
That email is NOT to be deleted unless
it is trash unconnected with official
business. These are the rules your elected
officials live by.
Personal email is NOT subject to this
rule of retention and transparency.
However, and this is the heart of the
matter, if City business is conducted
on a personal account... IT MUST
BE TRANSFERRED TO THE CITY
ACCOUNT! Because of this requirement,
personal computers may be subject to
search and seizure under Court orders
in criminal matters pertaining to City
business when there is reason to believe
the account holder has failed to fulfill
their legal obligation in this regard.

Courthouse Bid Approval: Council
approved three contracts for Phase I in
the renovation of the historic courthouse
into city offices. Kistler, Small & White
Architects was awarded the contract
for architectural drawings for $25,500.
Pacific Fire won the bid for a two-floor
fire suppression system for $83,617 and
Ausland Construction was awarded the
seismic upgrade/retrofit contract for
$221,150. Phase I work is expected to
commence in the coming weeks and will
be completed by mid-June.
Fire Department Annual Report: Chief
Devin Hull reported that his department
responded to 584 service calls in 2014,
65% of which were medically-related,
excluding auto accidents. Thanks to
internal departmental improvements,
insurance company risk ratings have
dropped, effectively reducing the cost of
fire insurance policies for homeowners.
Hull also reported on the success
of several department/community
outreach programs including the Map
Your Neighborhood Program, Firewise
Program, CERT, the senior check-in
program and ongoing community
education classes. Hull and Council
discussed the possible need for a smaller,
emergency medical response vehicle to
reduce increasing costs associated with
rolling the larger fire engine to all calls,
whether medical or fire-related. Hull said
the highest number of in-town service
calls occurs in July and December. A full
copy of Hulls report may be found online
at www.cityofjacksonvilleoregon.com.
Parks Committee: Councilor Criss
Garcia, Chair of the Parks Committee
notified Council that after 20 years
serving the community, Patricia Dahl
was stepping down as Chair but will
remain on the committee as a member.
Council discussed the need for a pine
beetle infestation tour of the Woodlands
and Forest Park, a date for which will be
announced soon. This action was initiated
after 29 infested pines were removed from
the Sarah Zigler trail head in early March.
Due to drought conditions, pine trees
throughout the city are at an increased
risk of disease and premature death.
Reservoir permit extension:
Administrator Jeff Alvis announced the
city requested a 6-month extension on its
plans to remove/notch Jacksonvilles dam
and spillway. The extension is needed to
respond to concerns raised during a 30-

Many of us who grew up watching
Leave It to Beaver and I Love Lucy and
went through our teens listening to The
Beach Boys and The Beatles on AM radio
probably fall into the group known as
Baby Boomers.
The Baby Boomer Generation is
defined by the group born between 1946
and 1964, which amounts to roughly 76
million people. Over the next 18 years
those individuals will become eligible
for Social Security. There is an average of
10,000 boomers filing for Social Security
benefits each day.
Picking the optimal Social Security
strategy is complicated and your decision
can have a significant impact on your
lifetime income from Social Security and
Steve Yungen
in retirement. There are many important
decisions to be madedo I take Social
Security now or later, how continuing
to work can affect your benefits and
how your benefits can be taxed, and for
couples, it is crucial to know how spousal
benefits can be coordinated to maximize
lifetime benefits for both partners.
Jeff Blum and Steve Yungen (both Baby
Boomers), at Jones and Associates Premier
Financial Solutions in Medford, have the
tools and the expertise to help you make
the important decisions to maximize your
Social Security income. Together, they
are presenting Social Security planning
workshops to help others optimize income in
retirement. See ad this page.

n recent years,
the synthetic
grass turf
industry has
experienced rapid growth despite
the slow economy in the commercial
and residential building markets.
The turf industry coasted through
the recession relatively unscathed,
propelled by growing demand primarily
due to advancements in quality and
cost reduction efforts by sporting
venues, municipalities,
homeowners and
schools. Even though
continued weaknesses in
construction markets and
school budgetary issues
have limited growth,
concerted adoption of
artificial grass and turf has
fueled industry expansion.
In the coming years, a return to building
activity, ever-increasing interest and
participation in outdoor sports, as well as
rising environmental awareness, will keep
the industry on an upward trend.
Over the past three years, Oregon
and California have suffered through a
severe and damaging drought. The EPA
attributes roughly 15% of annual national
water usage to lawn care. Los Angeles,
a city that in 2007 experienced its driest
year in 130 years, implemented a grassremoval incentive program in 2009, paying
homeowners who tear-out their lawns $1.4
million since that time.
By converting a natural lawn to
artificial turf, homeowners could save
an average of $100-$150 per month in
water and maintenance costs with some
homeowners saving upwards of $300 per
month in water costs alone.

other night, I
landed on National
Geographics Big
Cats of the Serengeti. This is where my
wife usually exits the room but not before
shooting me a subtle yet unmistakable
look of disapproval. Okay, Im drawn to
the drama of the plains but not because of
some perverse pleasure watching weaker
creatures hunted down by ravenous lions.
Rather, it is the moment after the chase
and fall that lures me in. The brief and
almost-human expression of the surviving
herd fascinates me. After what can only
be described as a tortured mix of terror
and relief, the herd immediately returns
to grazing as if nothing ever happened.
There is something stark and disturbingly
familiar about the reality of community
on the plains. Some
call it survival of
the fittest. I call it a
fallen world.

today but great-grandparents understand
perfectly. Its ironic we strive to thrive
yet its the striving, not the thriving,
making us better people. We toil away
for possessions, acknowledgement,
and leisure. Yet these things in excess
desensitize us to honest compassion and
costly empathy politicians can never
own. The more we have the less we give
of ourselves. I believe in free, unfettered
pursuit to better life yet also understand
chasing abundance can skin the soul.

many people suffering around her with
issues of great significance. I too am

sat down in a
good mood on
a sunny Sunday
morning to look at my email and there it
was, lying in wait. The email was from
a colleague who is, in every respect, my
doppelgnger: same age, same work,
same writing style, graduate school, hair
color, sense of humorsame everything.
And on this fine morning, she suckerpunched me. Her newsletter fairly gushed
onto my desk, letting me know that not
only does she have a thriving practice,
but that her just-published book (which
got an agent and major publishing house
right out of the gate) is #2 on Amazon.
I turned a pale shade of green, got all
tight and twisted, and then the voices
began. How nice for her! A booming practice,
talk shows and a best-seller! And what are you
doing, Kate? Nothing! Youre just schlepping
along in obscurity.
I have very mean voices.
I decided to take out my excess energies
on the dishes but found myself awash in
a slimy sea of shame, rancor and envy,
feeling peevish and small and getting
smaller by the minute.
Joseph Epstein, in his book Envy,
(2003) notes that, of the seven deadly
sins, only envy is no fun at all. Truer
words were never written. While anger
can be relieving and sloth and gluttony
positively delicious, envy torments the
soul. It asks only one very unhelpful and
whiny question: Why not me?
Envy is a miserable emotion. It sucks
us out of our life (and our life out of us),
depositing us in a bleak terrain where
we are so focused on what we dont have
that we forget about all that we do have.
Its a sort of green herring, shifting our
attention away from whats real and vital.
Its also very human.

t times, we
all feel the
need to fix
some aspect of our life to be truly happy,
often spending a lot of time and money
on products and regimes that promise
the quick results we yearn for. The most
common pursuits for happiness revolve
around love, money and health. Have
you ever noticed how often a person, over
time, will go right back to the struggle
they started with: losing a lot of weight
and then gaining it back, getting in and
out of a relationship or staying in a bad
one. So many
individuals who

they won.
Sometimes even
after getting
results we still
feel something
is missing,
so we go on
the pursuit of
another goal
and on and on like a roller coaster ride.
Juggling all of these goals in pursuit of
happiness is exhausting.
Are you ready to get off the roller
coaster, stop juggling and create balance
in all areas of your life: Love, Money, and
Health in spiritual harmony?
First, here are some of the questions
you can ask yourself to discover what
might be blocking you from not just
getting results but feeling happy and
joy-full in all areas of your life. Take a
moment, and as you read the questions,
observe how you feel in your heart and in
your belly.
How much of what you want do you
feel you are allowed to have?
What do you feel is possible for you
in regard to relationships, money,
and happiness?
What are the limitations in your
current life situation that you accept
you just have to live with?
When you were growing up, were
you criticized when you felt proud or
wanted to accomplish something big?
Did you experience anything that
limited your self-worth?
A flea can jump 200 times its size. If you
put a flea in a jar and tightly screw on the
lid, the flea will only jump as high as the
lid. If a flea has babies in the jar, it will
teach the babies that limitation. When you
remove the lid, the fleas will never ever
even try to jump any higher than what
they were taught possible. Old belief
systems can be like a lid of a jar. The
stories of betrayals, judgments, and all the
hurt you hold on to, continue to repeat

or regular readers of
this column, you will
remember that last month
I discussed dental disease, how to
recognize it, and ways to prevent
it. This month is a continuation
of that column that discusses
the importance of a professional
cleaning by your veterinarian and how it compares to
cleanings offered elsewhere.
During a physical exam of a cat or dog, I commonly
ask owners if their pet has ever had their teeth cleaned,
only to receive a response similar to this: The groomer
cleans them every month when we take her in. In this
case, usually what the groomers are doing is a quick
brushing. Good, BUT What would your teeth look
like if they were only brushed once a month? While
an occasional brushing might be nice, it does little to
remove the calculus that has built-up on the teeth and
under the gum line.
The idea of having your pet's teeth cleaned without
anesthesia by an unlicensed or non-veterinary provider
may seem appealing on the surface, but it can potentially
harm your pet's health. Here are some facts to consider:
1. A Comprehensive Oral Exam & Cleaning is Not
Possible Without Sedation: Unlike humans, dogs
and cats will not remain still with their mouth open
for the duration of an oral exam and cleaning. A
thorough oral exam can be painful if periodontal
disease is present. In an effective dental cleaning,
veterinary professionals use an ultrasonic scaler
to clean the teeth and under the gum line. Water is
used to flush away debris that can cause infection.
Anesthesia ensures your pet's comfort, safety and
compliance during these procedures and protects the
veterinary team from bites.
2. If Used Improperly, Scraping Tools Can Cause
Damage to Teeth & Gums: The scraping tool often
used by non-veterinary providers is a hand scaler,
which can cause scarring and pitting of the tooth
enamel. These instruments can lacerate the soft gum
tissue if the scaler slips or the patient moves, which
is likely without sedation.
3. Cleaning Only Visible Surfaces of the Teeth is
Not Effective Against Disease: Cleaning the tooth
surfaces under the gum line is the most critical part
