Excerpts from the
MOUNTAIN MEADOWS NEWS:
CHANGE OF CLIMATE: A NEW PLAY BY FRED
TONGE
Climate change, political
controversy, and romantic tensions are the subjects of a new play by
Mountain Meadows resident Fred Tonge. Called Change of Climate, it
will be read at the ScienceWorks Theater on Sunday, October 9, and
Monday, October 10, at 8 p.m. These dramatic readings are sponsored
by ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum, produced by Atelier Stage 2, and
directed by Greg Younger. The experienced cast includes Will
Churchill, David Gabriel, Tim Kelly, Casey Faubion, Alyssa Leigh
Smith, and Gwenne Wilcox.
“I’m excited about directing Change of Climate for a public reading,
because we will be integrating slides and video along with the live
action, adding the visceral aspect of the science of climatology to
the play,” said Younger.
Inspired by the 2009 “Climategate” email scandal, Change of Climate
started off as a play about the daily activity of doing science.
“Fortunately,” Tonge said, “the characters escaped and insisted on
telling their own versions of the story.”
The plot in brief: Dr. Laura Hoskins is building a world-class
Climate Research Lab at Fleming Institute. When she breaks off a
brief romantic involvement with junior researcher Jake Zamosa, his
impulsive retaliation threatens their careers. Can the consequences
of Jake’s actions be contained, or will they spread beyond the lab
and add fuel to the wider debate over global climate change?
ScienceWorks is proud to sponsor Change of Climate. It serves the
Rogue Valley with over 150,000 visitors a year and has 1,700 member
families. Over 100 interactive exhibits in the museum encourage
children and adults to learn more about scientific principles.
ScienceWorks Theater is located at 1500 East Main Street, Ashland.
Suggested admission is a $10 donation at the door. All donations
beyond expenses will be shared among ScienceWorks and the actors.

STILL LIFE DRAWING CLASSES
Rochelle Newman
I am offering a series of seven two-hour still life classes in the
Hilltop Gallery. No experience is necessary—come give it a try!
Focusing on basic design elements and composition, each session will
be self-contained, so you can pick and choose what interests you or
take all seven classes. We will work with stippling and negative
space, contour line drawing, scribbling from chaos into order, cut
paper collage, tone washes, color palettes, and layering multiple
viewpoints. A full schedule of the sessions will be posted on the
Clubhouse bulletin board and sign-up sheets will be available at the
desk. Some materials will be provided.
Classes will meet Monday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. from
October 3 through November 14. At least five people are needed for
class to be held, and there is a fee of $15 per person per session.
CREATIVE
ARTS GROUP
Harriet Berman
Members of the Creative Arts Interest
Group will hold the monthly meeting on Wednesday, September 21, at
9:30 a.m. in the Creative Arts Room. All interested residents are
invited to attend. (To get there, take the Clubhouse elevator that’s
opposite the Rogue Room kitchen; press B for Basement and exit the
rear door. The Creative Arts Room is on the far side.)
Our August 17 meeting was a work party to make the space ready for
use by artists of all persuasions. There was much creative and
artistic scrubbing, sweeping, vacuuming, and clearing! We’ve posted
a sign-in sheet on the door so members can reserve the studio for
private use or for sharing.
Workshops are in the planning stages—more information to come. If
you would like to be part of our creative community and you are not
yet a member of the interest group, please contact Harriet Berman at
541-488-1879 for more details.
SING WITH THE
MEADOWLARKS
Harriet Berman, Director
It’s time for the Meadowlarks to start singing again. All residents
are invited to join in the fun! Rehearsals will begin on Wednesday,
August 3, at 3:30 p.m. in the Rogue
Room, and will continue every Wednesday during August and September.
From October until concert time in December, we will add Saturday
morning rehearsals to the schedule. The only requirement is that you
can carry your part. Singing is good for the body and for the soul.
BAGPIPING
AT FRIDAY FORUM: A LOVE AFFAIR
Bob Griffin
Please! I’m begging you! If you Google Murray Huggins, and go to his
video on “Art Beat: Oregon,” I GUARANTEE that you will want to mark
your calendarfor his Friday Forum presentation on Friday, August 12,
at 3:00 p.m. in the Mt. Ashland Room.
Murray fell in love with the “ethereal, electric, magical sound”
(his words) of bagpipes when he was but a wee lad. Over the years,
he has become not only an accomplished piper but especially a master
craftsman of that unique music instrument. Testimonials to the
artistic flair and machinist skill that go into his hand-crafted
Colin Kyo pipes stream in from throughout the U.S., Canada,
Australia, South Africa, England—and even from Scotland!
Like any true artisan, Murray has dedicated his passion to an
unending search for the perfect instrumental sound. This drive has
led him to learn techniques of tool making, of silver engraving, and
to search for the perfect materials for traditional pipes. Unlike
the typically secretive ways of bagpipe makers, Murray Huggins is so
dedicated to sharing his love of bagpipe music that he eagerly
discusses his knowledge and tricks of the trade.
Following his presentation,
he will welcome comments and any questions that you may have. I
myself would like to know why a bagpipe group always plays “Amazing
Grace” at the memorials of fallen firemen and NYPD officers.
Please, don’t miss this special opportunity.
STAIRWAY EXHIBIT: FLOWERS IN ART
Harriet Berman
Flowers will be the theme of the Clubhouse stairway art exhibit to
be hung in July. If you have any colorful paintings, drawings,
collages, or photographs related to the theme, we hope you’ll
submit them for the display. Please let us know by signing the sheet
at Donna’s desk. You will be notified when to bring your art to the
Clubhouse. Let’s make the Clubhouse bloom!
A TASTE OF
ASHLAND
Paula B
Yum! Yum! Yum! “A Taste of Ashland,” held the weekend of April 30
and May 1, was “delicious” on many levels: visual, gastronomic (both
food and wine), and social. According to one resident, it was “a
remarkable effort” and “astonishingly successful.” Over 150 visitors
from as far south as San Francisco came for a taste of Mountain
Meadows, many visiting us for the first time.
Richard and Rochelle Newman spearheaded Hilltop Gallery’s membership
in the Ashland Gallery Association and its participation in the
association’s annual “Taste,” which links galleries, chefs, and
vine- yards in a presentation of Ashland’s best. Mountain Meadows
participation was underwritten by MMOA and the Mountain Meadows
Sales Office.
Chefs Bryan and Bill prepared extraordinary hors d’oeuvres for the
event—one sweet, one savory— to pair with an “inaugural tasting” of
Applegate Valley wines hosted by Serra Vineyards’ representative
Lisa Wan. Visitors were so impressed with the food, as well as with
the pairings, they asked for the name of our caterer and were amazed
to find that the food had been prepared “in-house” by the people who
cook for us all the time!
And last but definitely not least, visitors thoroughly enjoyed the
Hilltop Gallery exhibit of Rochelle and Richard’s colorful and
imaginative art work. The exhibit will be up through June 27.
Before the event, we had no idea whether anyone would come here as
part of the “Taste,” particularly since we’re not in the downtown
core. Careful planning paid off. IRL made the shuttle bus available
to ferry people from downtown, and Temple and Richard (sometimes
accompanied by his tuxedo-clad six-year-old grandson, Alex) rode the
bus as rather genteel barkers, encouraging “Taste of Ashland”
participants at the Plaza to come to Mountain Meadows. En route to
Hilltop Gallery, they gave bus riders a tour of our community.
On arrival, visitors were met by Mountain Meadows resident
“Greeters” Temple Ashbrook, Carolyn Mitchell, Hawk Starkey, and me.
We offered tours of the Clubhouse and answered questions about the
Mountain Meadows Community. Many of the “Taste” visitors had never
heard of Mountain Meadows, had never been here, and were awed by our
“home base.” Many asked about Mountain Meadows as a place to live—it
was easy to say it is great!— and visited the Clubhouse and the
Fitness Center, as well as Hilltop Gallery. Those who visited the
Clubhouse also enjoyed the staircase exhibit of art, all done by
residents.
There is no doubt that outreach to the community is welcome and
appreciated! Organization for the event was superb, and many people
were involved. Thanks to all who made the “Taste” such a wonderful
event at Mountain Meadows. We now have a year to prepare for an even
more exciting “Taste” next spring.

FOR OUR LIBRARY: A
NEW HOME FOR THE RESERVE COLLECTION
Christine Menefee, Library Committee correspondent
What do Emily Dickinson, Harry Potter, and William Shakespeare have
in common? Books by or about them can be found in the MM Library’s
Reserve Collection. We also have the complete Agatha Christie
mysteries, C. S. Forester’s wonderful “Hornblower” naval series, a
wealth of classics, poetry, drama, videos, and much more.
These “Reserve” items are among the best things we own, but they
take up more of our limited shelf space than current usage
justifies. We value them too much to discard them, and we think
library users will agree. Now, thanks to new space allocated to us
in the Potpourri Depot (the former Train Room), we can keep these
treasures organized and accessible for everyone. No, you can’t
“browse” the shelves in person, but you can find them in the catalog
and have them within two days.
GREENER MEADOWS
Anne S
Everyone is now talking about getting food that is grown near where
you live—being a “locavore.” If you have a garden plot, it’s your
own vegetables or fruit that you get to pick. If you don’t, or if
the ground squirrels or bugs of various types beat you to the
harvest, there are two Growers Markets in Ashland. One is on
Tuesdays, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. behind the National Guard
Armory at 1420 E. Main Street. The other is downtown on Saturday
mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on a temporarily closed-off
section of Oak Street between Lithia and Main. The Saturday market
will run to the end of October, but the Tuesday market will be held
late enough in the year for us to shop for Thanksgiving dinner!
These markets are a great place to get fresh vegetables and fruits
in season—when the tomatoes and fresh peaches come in, get there
early! And there’s so much more. There are people selling mush-
rooms, locally-raised eggs, bison, grass-fed beef, jam and jelly,
rabbits, cheeses, fresh flowers, starter plants for your garden,
tamales, breads and pastries, and various crafts—necklaces and
earrings, wooden toys, wooden pens, and so much more. It is a treat
just to walk down the aisles. If you go there often enough, you meet
the people you buy from—and that is a pleasure. Be sure to take your
own reusable bags!
UNLIKELY HARBINGERS OF SPRING
Ginny Pryne
Spring certainly took its time arriving this year. I had been
watching for signs of the season and found them inside Bi-Mart, of
all places. It was a very grey day, and when I came across cheerful
reminders of spring, my heart was lifted beyond all proportion to
the source of my delight—bright flowers imprinted on rolls of paper
towels! It was almost as though springtime had finally arrived. By
the time I got home, I had remembered many of the gifts of spring:
The flowers of all tomorrows are the seeds of today...
Gardening is a way of showing that you believe in tomorrow...
Friends are flowers in a life's garden...
You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt...
No two days are the same in one garden...
No two gardens are the same...
Cheers to Bi-Mart's paper towels—and they were on sale, too!

DISPLAY CASE: HOOPA
BASKETS
Catherine Cortelyou
When they first married, John and Eva Fugitt
moved to the Hoopa Reservation in northern California. Mountainous
and rather isolated, the reservation encompasses the tribe's
ancestral territory straddling the Trinity River just south of its
confluence with the Klamath.
The Fugitts taught in the tribal schools, lived in staff housing,
and started their family on the reservation. Tribal women gave Eva a
specially-made cradle-board for her first baby; woven like a basket,
it could be used to carry an infant or be propped up so the baby
could sit. Eva used it!
The cradle-board was the start of Eva's collection of Native
American baskets that are now featured in the clubhouse display
case. Be sure to see it.
SO MANY MOVIES AT Mountain
Meadows!
Christine Menefee
Ashland is a great town for film buffs! With our internationally
acclaimed Ashland Independent Film Festival each April, local movie
theaters, and cinema groups (ever hear of the Bad Film Society?),
there is almost always interesting cinema in town. Mountain Meadows
contributes to the scene with feature films on weekends and a
rotation of Classic Movies, Video Viewpoints documentaries, and
"wild card" selections on Wednesday evenings.
Weekend movies: Three titles are chosen for weekend viewing. Donna
Kitchen of IRL welcomes recommendations and requests, and does an
outstanding job of offering an eclectic mix of titles from Netflix
including recent releases, family films, and documentaries. This
program is supported by the MMO A budget. Weekend movie DVDs are
kept in the basket by the TV in the Mt. Ashland Room, and viewing
times are Fridays at 7:00 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 1:30
p.m. Check the Weekly Update for titles and possible schedule
changes if the room is needed for another event. You can also watch
any of these films on your own whenever the Mt. Ashland Room is
free. {Never take them home!)
Wednesday movies: The Wednesday night film events are organized and
presented by residents who simply enjoy sharing their love of films.
Showings are at 6:30 p.m. in the Mt. Ashland Room, and are
publicized in the Weekly Update.
Classic Movies: These films are shown on the first and third
Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. This series is organized and
presented by Roy Sutton, who chooses from among Oscar winners and
popular genres with a knowledgeable eye. He says, "I try to have a
variety. They might be serious dramas, musicals, or comedies;
sometimes they're the best—and sometimes they're not the greatest,
but they're of particular interest in one way or another." We may
have a Fred Astaire movie one Classic Movie Wednesday, followed by a
Gary Cooper western the next. Subtitles are promised for all films
in the Classics series.
Video Viewpoints: Documentaries are shown the second and fourth
Wednesdays of each month at 6:30 p.m. (new time). Christine Menefee,
Cindy Earle, and Marti Koch select films to offer a wide variety of
nonfiction viewpoints on subjects ranging from the controversial to
the inspirational. It's not unusual for other residents share
favorite documentaries, too. In recent months, screenings have been
hosted by Rochelle and Richard Newman, Mary Margaret Schelb, and
Celia Moss. Discussion, refreshments, and sometimes special guests
round out the evening. Subtitles are provided when possible, but
they're not always available in documentaries.
Fifth Wednesday Films: these are a kind of wild-card movie night in
those months that have a fifth Wednesday. These screening are
usually hosted by the Video Viewpoints crew, but other residents are
welcome to borrow the time slot and share their favorites. Just ask.
In our Library: Any day of the week youcan also borrow films from
the growing collection of DVDs and videocassettes in our MM Library.
These can be watched in the Mt. Ashland Room or taken home—but
Library movies must be checked out first, just like books! If you
want to see a movie in the Mt. Ashland Room, check with IRL to see
if the room and TV are already booked. If they're free, you can
reserve them for your own screening
SUSTAINABILITY FILMS WITH
FRIENDS FROM SOPTV!
Christine Menefee
On Wednesday, May 11, at 6:30 p.m. in the Mt. Ashland Room, our
friend Kari Swoboda of Southern Oregon Public Television (SOPTV)
will be visiting Mountain Meadows again, this time with two
half-hour SOPTV programs: Seeking Sustainability in our Homes and
Seeking Sustainability in our Community. Kari also promises to bring
wine and port, and we'll add locally-baked cookies. The film
screenings will be followed by discussion and another opportunity to
talk with SOPTV staff about our public TV station and its future
programs, as well.
These films are part of SOPTV's own locally-produced "Southern
Oregon Town Hall" series. It's an initiative to bring national
issues back home to us here in the Rogue Valley. The Town Hall
programs bring together citizens and officials, encourage the
exchange of ideas, and aim for consensus and—ultimately—action. It's
a laudable program, serving the public interest under the
traditional mandate of public television, and the films have been
praised for their quality. It should be an interesting evening!
Sustainability is defined by Oregon law as "practices which meet
current needs in a manner which also considers those of future
generations." A culture of sustainability addresses the need to
improve conservation, reduce waste, and plan for the very long term.
It lays groundwork for positive change within different communities
and in a variety of circumstances—such as Mountain Meadows.
Sustainability is much discussed and practiced by proactive citizens
right here at Mountain Meadows, in just about every aspect of our
planning and community life—from water use in the landscape to
recycling and alternate energies, and much more. Many (probably
most) of us have already made changes in how we do things in our
homes, too. Let's talk about it, and learn more!
This SOPTV visit is hosted by
Video Viewpoints, a resident-run documentary film series on
alternate Wednesdays.

CLASSIC MOVIES AT THE MEADOWS
On this Wednesday, January 5, we’ll be showing one of the all-time
great family films, “Lassie Come Home”, starring a stellar cast that
includes Roddy McDowell, Donald Crisp, Elsa Lanchester, Nigel Bruce,
and Elizabeth Taylor (at age 11) at 6:30 PM in the Mt. Ashland Room.
Directed by Fred M. Wilcox, this 1943 film is a treasure for dog
lovers and anyone who admires the courage and determination that a
dog can exhibit. Set in depression-era England, a poor family
tearfully sells their collie to a cruel Duke. The dog, Lassie,
braves storms, hunger, and peril to return to her young master.
Filmed in Washington state and Monterey, California – instead of
England and Scotland – this movie received an Oscar nomination for
Best Cinematography. Bosley Crowther of the New York Times wrote
that this film “tells th story of a boy and a dog, tells it with
such poignancy and simple beauty that only the hardest heart can
fail to be moved”. Bring Kleenexes. This movie runs about 1 hour and
30 minutes.CLASSIC MOVIES AT THE MEADOWS
VIDEO VIEWPOINT &
FIFTH WEDNESDAY FILMS PRESENTS…
When we get a fifth Wednesday in a month, we often screen something
completely different. This time we offer a wonderful animated
feature by American artist Nina Paley. Film critic Roger Ebert wrote
of it, "I am enchanted. I am swept away. I am smiling from one end
of the film to the other. It is astonishingly original. It brings
together four entirely separate elements and combines them into a
great whimsical chord... To get any film made is a miracle. To
conceive of a film like this is a greater miracle." Combining a
modern "love" story, Paley's own, with the Hindu myth of Sita and
Rama, the film is by turns visually stunning, funny, and moving,
using both modern digital artistic technology and traditional
animation techniques, and employing a variety of musical styles
including the classic torch songs of 1930's jazz singer Annette
Hanshaw. Premiering in 2009, it has won many international film
festival awards, a devoted cult following, and nearly universal
critical acclaim: "An amazingly eclectic, 82-minute tour de force" (
Sita Sings the Blues New York Times). Be ready for something you've
never seen before. Subtitled. 7 pm Wednesday, December 29, in the
Mt. Ashland Room.
FITNESS CENTER UPDATE
