Many people in our area ride and own horses, but few have the distinction of owning or riding a Reserve World Champion Working Cow Horse. That is the case for Ann and Curt Johnson, Tom & Kendall Harrison and Robby Bianchi, all Upper Rogue residents.
The horse has many names: Barney, B-Dawg or (officially) Playboys Reward. He is by Wanted Reward out of Playboy Sioux. He is owned by the Johnsons and the Harrisons and ridden and trained by Bianchi. This Paint horse’s Upper Rogue roots go even deeper as his sire (Wanted Reward) was purchased by the Johnsons from another Eagle Point resident, Billy Warne.

The concern and caring in the Upper Rogue is phenomenal. Whenever someone needs help, community members step forth to offer assistance. Recently a bank account was set up at PremierWest to contribute towards medical bills for Steve Hauck, Executive Director of the Upper Rogue Community Center. That helped— but Hauck could use more assistance and a fundraiser for him is in the works.
A few years ago, Hauck was diagnosed with cancer and underwent treatment. He has had some residual problems. Hauck has dialysis three times a week and also needs expensive medication.

Those crossing Highway 62 at Linn Road should be very pleased to learn that the time allotted to cross the highway has been extended and is now actually reflected on the sign where one will see that hand sign, or red or green when trying to cross. The sign should tell you that you have 35 seconds to cross the road. That is a significant improvement in the time previously allotted.
The time has also been changed at the crossing at Highway 62 and the Veterans Administration crossing.
While these extended times will make crossing those busy intersections easier, pedestrians are reminded that they need to obey the signals.
The equipment needed to made the change came from a grant obtained by ODOT with some funds from the City of Eagle Point.

It takes a special kind of vision to take a 1937 landmark, and turn it into a fully modern facility while keeping its historic feel. Lee and Anne Kimball have succeeded in doing that and more.
The Rogue River Lodge has recently undergone an 11 month, $1 million renovation. But renovation might not be quite the right word for it.
The Kimballs have been traveling to Southern Oregon for many years to visit relatives in Medford and the Upper Rogue. They had always talked of retiring in the Upper Rogue. “Little did we know it would be at the Lodge,” they chuckled.

All community members who have helped with Avenue of the Flags are invited to an Appreciation Night on Wednesday, Sept. 8. It will be at 6 p.m. at Campus Life. The BBQ will be free.
Sponsors are the Avenue of the Flags and the Eagle Point/Upper Rogue Chamber of Commerce. Not only are all those involved in the flag project invited, but they are asked to bring their immediate family. It will be a time just to enjoy and get to know one another and to say a special thanks for the many who volunteer.
A number of local businesses and individuals have donated food or cash for items to make this a very special evening. The Jackson County Cattlewomen are responsible for the BBQ.
In addition to honoring all who have helped with Avenue of the Flags, there will be recognition for those who were charter members of the Eagle Point Chamber of Commerce.
For information or to make a donation to support the effort, call Helen Wolgamott, 830-4049. |
