Picture yourself floating…silently, peacefully, beautifully at one with nature. The only sounds that reach you are the songs of the mountain birds, or the migrat-ing geese flying overhead. Picture yourself sitting comfortably in a kayak or a canoe in the middle of just one of the many in-credibly serene and panoramic lakes that are nestled all around us in the Cascade Mountains. No city noise to bother you, no cell phones vibrating for your attention, just sweet, peaceful silence.

Then picture yourself rhythmically dipping your paddle into the water as you and your craft are smoothly gliding over the mirrorlike surface of the lake as you explore all of the shoreline, seeing peli-cans, ducks, geese and other birds nestled together in groups taking in the day just as you are doing. You look up and see hawks, and even eagles soaring above and you know that this is an incredibly rare and precious day.

What I am describing is something that my wife and I discovered was freely avail-able pretty much any day we wanted after moving to the Rogue Valley almost 8 years ago. After relocating here from a more des-ert like location, we found ourselves going on weekend drives in all directions, explor-

ing all of the natural wonders that were within an hour or two drive. Our cameras were always at the ready snapping photos of all the naturally beautiful scenery that surrounded us. One of the most notice-able things that we discovered was that there were so many small mountain lakes nestled in the Cascades and we wondered what it would be like to be able to actually get on the water and explore further away from the roads that had brought us there.

And that is just what we did. First, we sought out the advice of one of the lo-cal experts, Scott Keith who is one of the owners of the Northwest Outdoor Store. He was very knowledgeable about pad-dle related sports which includes kayak-ing, rafting, canoeing and also the newly popular stand up paddle boards. Scott was able to explain to us all the different types of kayaks and how one is good for lakes and another better for rivers. Some you sit within and others, you sit on top. The length of the boat is also an important fac-tor in terms of glide or maneuverability.

We asked a lot of questions about our new adventure into kayaking before mak-ing our purchase and Scott very patiently answered them all. He invited us to meet both he and his staff at Emigrant Lake

where they had kayak demo days, so that we could actually get in the differ-ent models and lengths of boats and give them a try. This was very helpful be-cause it quickly became evident which type of kayak suited our needs.

This began a period of adventure and exploration that I didn’t even know existed as we were now well equipped to make full use of our days in the sur-rounding mountains. In this writer’s opinion, there are few better ways to im-merse yourself into our natural sur-roundings than sitting in or on a kayak. We like to pack a nice lunch, a blanket, a camera, binoculars and whatever suits our fancy and then off we go. We have found that it doesn’t really matter which direction we choose to head off into, there is always a great kayaking destina-tion waiting for us. My recommendation is that you head over and talk with any one of the staff at the Northwest Out-door Store and take a look at the great variety of paddle craft that they carry. They have the best selection between Sacramento and Portland and are ex-tremely knowledgeable and helpful to each and every person who enters their store. You’ll be glad that you did! -LMA

Welcome to the lovely Rogue Valley! You’ve just entered kayaking Nirvana!

Bringing peace of mind to you and your familyby SOS Alarm. To ensure quality, trouble free systems, sub-contractors are never used for installations. For over 40 years, SOS Alarm has earned the trust and respect of their custom-ers and the emergency agencies they

work with on a daily basis. Whatever your needs are, their fully trained staff is ready, experienced and qualified to do the work.

The Rogue Valley is a wonderful place to live. Sadly enough though, crime runs through every community and you need to be prepared. Every recession since the late 1950s has been associated with an increase

in crime, particulary, property crime and rob-bery. Statistically, there is a strong relationship be-tween crime, falling wages and higher unemployment rates. Now more than ever, it’s time to use your alarm system every time you leave your home or busi-ness. If you don’t have an alarm system, now is the time to protect your-self. With the new security technology that is avail-able, it has never been more affordable to protect the ones you care about. Keep in mind, burglars purposely avoid homes

which are set up with security sys-tems. Find out how easy it is to protect your home or business by calling SOS Alarm at 541-773-3900.


During the past 30 years we have been able to meet many people that come in and out of Central Art Supply and have witnessed the sense of community that art can bring out in all of us. It is not uncom-mon to see customers exchange ideas, techniques and information with each other while visit-ing our store. As a two generation fam-ily business, Central Art Supply has been supplying our art community with the best tools available for local artists to create. Of course we carry a large range of brushes, paints, canvases, pencils and drawing pads. But there is a great deal more that we offer. Tie Dye, mannequins, handmade papers, photo albums, paint-by-numbers, portfolios, easels, drafting supplies, books and much more. In addition to the art supplies, Central Art Sup-ply also has a complete custom framing department that will enhance any piece of art. You could say that Central Art Supply is the “hardware store” for Southern Oregon artists. Let us continue a great tradition of art here in our beautiful region. Allow Cen-tral Art Supply to be a source of inspira-tion for you by providing all of the tools

you need to create your masterpiece. Having the privilege of hosting popular weekly classes taught by world-renowned pastelist and oil painter Richard McKin-ley, Central Art Supply is proud to feature several lines of products he endorses.

In addition to the many great brands McKinley uses exclusively, we also carry pastel sets featuring colors in his Land-scape and Neutral palettes: Great Ameri-can Art Works 78 set (Landscape Palette) and Girault 50 set “Neutrals & Friends”. Be sure to pick up a copy of Richard’s book “Pastel Pointers,” and have your

choice of three instructional DVD’s from North Light Books. We also stock his 2-Disc DVD editions of “A Studio Ses-sion with Richard McKinley” (Pastel & Oil Demonstrations). Central Art Supply offers a complete

state of the art custom framing department. We carry a very large selection of custom frame mouldings to match your project needs. We also in-ventory hundreds of pre-made frames in our downstairs showroom. These ready-to-go frames are available in most common sizes, and our great selection insures that you will find just what you need for that extra special project. Being the area’s largest art supply re-tailer, and not just

a custom frame shop, we are able to provide more choices at better prices. Our extensive collection of mat board is almost unprecedented. Because we serve such a large geographic area, filled with so many art minded customers, we choose to keep our inventory fresh with the best that the industry has to offer.

Medford Mattress was first established in 1989, and its success is primarily based on friendly family sales & service. The original owners, retired in 2003. Rod and Peg purchased the business and continued the same friendly service that Medford Mattress was known for.

Our goal at Medford Mat-tress and Mattress Experts is to provide the best prices and service in the valley. Our “old school” style of doing business is something that our customers truly appreci-

ate. As this valley has grown over the years, we have faced corporate companies moving in with ‘best prices and ser-vice’ claims. These declara-tions are something we often hear disputed by our returning customers, unfortunately for them this is easily backed up with just a little research.

Our company has grown through the years and we have had to add to our family of staff in order to continue meeting the needs of our customers. Hiring like-minded employees was a real challenge, but we

have been successful there as well. Medford Mattress began with one employee in 2003 and we now have sixteen.

Our people live right here and have families that have grown up in the Rogue Valley. Thanks to our strong continued relationships, we have grown from one store to three. As the owners of Medford Mattress, and now Mattress Experts, we are pleased to have each of these people working with us. We are confident that you will find the best prices and service at our stores, often saving hun-dreds of dollars in most cases.

As you walk though the doors at Draperies and Things you immediately enter a professionally decorated show-room. To be more precise, what you are experiencing is a Hunter Douglas Gallery, just one of six showrooms lo-cated in Oregon. The selection of win-dow coverings, styles and colors can be overwhelming to many of us, at least until you talk with owners, Craig & Merry Reeves.

Established in 1981, Drap-eries and Things is a full service Hunter Douglas Design and Ser-vice Center. The choice to part-ner with Hunter Douglas was an easy one for Craig and Merry.

They even have a pro-gram called the “Right Choice Prom-ise”. This is where you have 21 days to experience their products in your home or business, and, if for any reason you are unhappy, they will replace them and start over!

For those of us who are not sure what will look best, free design consult-ing is available to all their customers. You will not feel pressured or uncom-fortable working with Craig and Merry. “We work on our clients time frame,” says Craig. “We come to their home or office, consider what they want to ac-

windows. Hunter Douglas’ innova-tive, energy-efficient window covering products can significantly reduce this energy loss, save on heating and cool-ing costs and contribute to protecting the environment. And when it comes to privacy, you choose from styles which can completely block out light to other

styles which can diminish harmful sun rays while still being able to see through them.

On the safety side of things, do you still have smaller children in your home or do they visit? With Hunter Douglas, you don’t need to worry. From cordless manual and motorized operating systems, retractable lift cords, cord tension-ers and wand controls, they offer a wide array of innovative lifting system options for enhanced child and pet safety as well as especially easy operation.

Craig and Merry Reeves have spent the last 31 years serving Jackson County area residents. Their work can be seen in thousands of homes and of-fices not just in our immediate area, but throughout the entire Northwest.

complish, find out what their likes and dislikes are when it comes to design. We then make recommendations and give them plenty of time to consider which way to go.

As an authorized Hunter Douglas Gallery, Craig and Merry can repair any damaged Hunter Douglas blinds

or other name brands regardless of how old they are or where they were origi-nally purchased. They also provide maintenance for your blinds which can include removal, cleaning, adjusting and reinstallation.

Blinds and window coverings play many important roles in a living or of-fice setting. First, they can provide beauty, continuity and style. Secondly, but just as important, is the control of the environment and how it interacts with the outside weather. Almost 50% of a home’s energy is lost through its

Dr. Ross San-ford’s award-win-ning dental career began in a rather unique way. Fol-lowing in his fa-ther’s footsteps as a second-generation dentist, Dr. San-ford completed his

requirements and qualified as a li-censed practitioner before his final year of dental school was complete, leaving his classmates in awe.

He has since gone on to practice in three states as a member of half a dozen dental groups and societies. After serving as a member of many regional and state-wide boards in Nevada, as well as a member of the International advisory committee for the Academy of LDS Dentists,

he was nominated for special hon-ors to the Pierre Fauchard Academy International Dental Honor Orga-nization in 2001, where he has re-

mained as an advisory member since.

Dr. Sanford learned to speak Spanish fluently as a young man when he lived in Spain for 2 years. He uses that to his advan-tage each year as he trav-els to Central and South America to serve the less fortunate. His favorite ac-tivities have been to teach in Dental Schools in Hon-duras and Peru. To date he has made 10 trips to pro-vide dentistry in several countries. In addition, he serves here in the Rogue

Valley with several local charities including St. Vincent’s when the mobile van is in town. He is very pleased to call the Rogue Valley home now and looks forward to welcoming you to his practice.

FURNITURE

In-Home Design AssistanceDream it., Create it, Love it.

Free design assistance in your home or in-store. If you ask us, picking out new furniture should be fun. And, when you work with us, it is. We make the process as easy as possible by helping you envision what your furniture and your entire room will look like.

Visit us today to create a single sofa or an entire room. We’ll help you bring it all together. Quickly & easily bring your dream rooms to life in absolutely amazing 3-D visual reality. Customize furniture styles and fabrics, change the room shape, add windows and doors… In fact, anything you can do in a real room, you can do on the La-Z-Boy 3D Room Planner!

We Are Big on Comfort!So often, small details make a

big difference. Like customizable lumbar firmness. One-touch reclin-ing. Extra long footrests. An ergo-nomic handle. Cushions “zoned” for optimal firmness and lasting com-fort & so much more.

Locally owned and operat-ed, La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries opened in September 2007 along I-5 just off the Phoenix exit. After having introduced their franchise to Bend, Oregon, Allen Pfeifer and family decided to bring their brand to the beautiful Rogue Valley.

The Pfeifers originally chose the La-Z-Boy line because of this com-pany’s long history and fine tradition of building high quality, long-lasting recliners & furniture.

Born in the USAIn 1927, two young cousins

from Monroe, Michigan – Edward M. Knabusch and Edwin J. Shoe-

maker – created a wood-slat chair with a reclining back that allowed hardworking families to relax after a long day – and the world’s first recliner was born! The La-Z-Boy recliner was a big hit in Monroe and soon, the nation.

Steadily over the last 85 years, La-Z-Boy has expanded beyond recliners and now has comfort-able furniture in all shapes and sizes. With factories and employees across the nation and world, this homegrown family business has come a long way from its humble roots in a Michigan cornfield.

Committed to America!Today, La-Z-Boy is hard at

work building an all-American in-vention right here on American soil. With the headquarters still based in Monroe, Mich., five U.S. manufac-turing plants, four distribution cen-ters and nearly 350 furniture gal-leries, La-Z-Boy and it’s franchise owners employ more than 5,000 people nationwide in the pursuit of comfortable, long lasting furniture.

Every day, they proudly pro-duce recliners, sofas, chairs and more by hardworking, dedicated employees. These fine people are driven by the same determination and commitment to quality and comfort that set them on the road to success 85 years ago.


Glass makes up a significant portion of every home - inside and out. The Glass Guru provides a full line of products from leading manu-facturers and fabricators to provide residential and commercial buyers, contractors, designers and builders

the best possible options and pricing for any situation.

Free In-Home EstimateWe offer free estimates as well

as complimentary whole-home win-dow inspections to help you fully evaluate your needs. We will mea-sure the glass, show you how we can repair or replace it, and then give you the best price possible. Typi-cally, it will take a week or less from when we take your order to receive the newly fabricated unit. As soon as the new glass is delivered, we in-spect it for qualtiy and then contact you to schedule the installation. If the replacement glass is a product that we have in stock, installation can be scheduled much sooner.

Single Pane & Double Glazed Window Repair

Windows in your home that have broken glass usually can be re-paired without having to replace the entire window. Most window sashes come apart or have glazing stops that can be removed to allow for the damaged glass to be taken out and replaced or reglazed. Our estima-tors and installers are glass replace-ment experts and are familiar with all types and brands. Whether you need glass repaired at your home or at your business, no one can repair glass like The Glass Guru.

Insulated GlassInsulated Glass Units (IGUs),

better known as dual-panes, double-glazing or thermopanes, consist of two or more lites of glass separated by a desiccated spacer and hermeti-cally sealed.

IGUs are manufactured on a made-to-order basis on factory pro-duction lines. As volume purchasers, we get great pricing from our suppli-ers and pass those savings on to our customers.

Most double-glazed units come with a manufacturer's warranty on top of our one year workmanship warranty that we offer on all of our window repairs.

Tinted Glass, Coated and Low Efficiency Glass

Clear glass was the primary glazing material used in the glass in-dustry for decades. During the past

two decades, glazing technology has changed greatly. Research and development into different types of glazing has created a new generation of glazing materials. Special tints and coatings have greatly increased energy efficiency in windows and

doors. Low-emission glass (Low-E) is a clear glass with a microscopi-cally-thin coating of metal oxide. This allows the sun's heat and light to pass through the glass into the building. At the same time it blocks the heat from leaving the room, re-ducing heat loss considerably.

Whether you call us to fix your windows or supply you with glass products, we strive to do it right the first time. If something ever goes wrong, we will be there to address it quickly. We want to earn your busi-ness and become the glass company and glass repair shop you rely on for all your glass repair and replacement glass needs.

Give us a call today to set up an appointment for a free consultation.

Are you new to the area? One of the most frustrating things to overcome in a new environment is realizing you are temporarily out of your comfort zone. You need to establish new relationships with everyone from your Dentist to where you do your shopping.

When it comes to purchasing fine jewelry, most of us would ob-tain a referral from a friend or rela-tive. This “word of mouth” referral base is how we built Gold & Gems over the past three decades.

Just recently, we expanded from our Ashland store to a second location in Medford. The greeting we received in Medford has been wonderful.

This is a family-owned com-pany headed by Richard & Ron Hansen. We employ a friendly, highly trained team of jewelry professionals.

ceptional jewelry and service.Now for those three reason you

need to visit us at Gold&Gems:

Reason #1: Pricing Policy: It is widely known that jewelry pieces are inflated, then discounted in or-der to “appear” like a low price. Our clients have become believers in the value that we offer. We have recognized successes by setting our everyday prices lower than the in-dustries standard, and then we back up the purchases with support, free sizing, polishing and all of the ser-vice oriented issues that are so im-portant with fine jewelry.

Reason #2: Quality Assurance: Every piece of jewelry that you will find here has been hand-selected by Gold And Gems for its outstanding workmanship and the superior qual-

ity of its gems. We have built our reputation on selling only the finest jewelry. Whether you come into our store or shop with us online, you are a Gold And Gems customer, and you can expect only the best in design, quality and service each and every time.

From earliest times the ma-jor obstacle to travel between the Rogue Valley of southern Oregon and Shasta Valley of northern Cal-ifornia has been the ridge of moun-tains called the “Siskiyous.” The name comes from the Indian word for “broom tailed horse.” Legend has it that the first white man the Indians met in this area was rid-ing a horse with its tail cut off square like a broom. The white man asked the Indians for the name of the Mountains, but mis-understood their reply. He thought they were naming the mountains when actually they were talking about his horse’s tail. The name “Siskiyou” endured. The lowest and shortest passage over these mountains is a few miles west of a 1,000-foot tall rock pillar protruding above the mid point of the ridge. Known as “Pilot Rock,” this landmark aided Indians and immigrants, as well as today’s travelers, to locate the best place to cross the mountains. The discovery of gold in both Rogue and Shasta valleys in the 1840’s and 50’s brought more

people over this crossing and soon there was a community known as the village of “Siskiyou.” The peak growth of this village oc-curred during the construction of Railroad Line 3 over the moun-tains in 1887. A train tunnel, dug near the summit beginning at the southeast corner of the village, will be for-

ever famous as the site of the last great train robbery. Three D’Atremont brothers jumped on the train as it was slowly ascend-ing the steep grade north of the entrance to the tunnel. Four men were killed lead-ing authorities to one of the most extensive manhunts in U.S. history. The broth-ers were ultimately captured, tried, and

sentenced to life in prison. The Siskiyou population began to di-minish and finally lost its post of-fice status in 1920. As a young man growing up in the Rogue Valley, Don Callahan dreamed of owning a lodge in the Siskiyou Mountains. Managing a flock of sheep and owning little else, that dream seemed far away.

In 1944 a piece of property mid-way up the mountain on Highway 99 became available. Don sold the sheep and bought the land. After service in World War II, with the help of friends, a pick and shov-el, he chiseled out a building site from the solid rock of the hillside. In 1947 he built a wood and stone building which he named “Calla-han’s Siskiyou Lodge.” The dining room, with eight stools and five tables, opened ini-tially catering to local residents who enjoyed the rustic lodge and its alpine setting. Soon interstate travelers began to appreciate the lodge as well. Anyone who ever traveled “Old 99” can still recall that well known spot. Don married Nilde Cervellin, an immigrant from Italy, in 1951. She brought the great Italian dishes to Callahan’s which are still famous today. Soon guests were standing in line! In April 1964, the original Callahan site was condemned for the new Interstate 5 right of way. Not wanting to be out of business, Don bought a larger piece of land a short distance up the highway below the summit of the Siskiyous and reopened in July of 1965. The site is actually a part of the old vil-lage of Siskiyou. Callahan’s is known throughout the West as an exceptional place to stop for great food, good drinks and good company. It is now be-ing patronized by the fourth gen-eration of original customers. Few restaurants enjoy such extensive acclaim. Ron Bergquist, who had remod-eled Nilde’s kitchen in 1960, and his wife, Donna, purchased Cal-lahan’s on January 2, 1996. Ron brings to the enterprise his exten-sive experience in developing res-taurants and hotels. He was raised in the Rogue Valley. Donna, a na-tive of Texas, brings many years of experience in marketing, promo-tion and advertising. They believe their combined skills will assure the future success and develop-ment of the “Callahan„ tradition.
