Mathews, Tribune News Service photo by amy racki the allingham guard Station house before the marines came... GUARd STATION: Doors will be saved and repurposed Continued from page 1 they’ve grown up on.” Dirico described the train- ing and experience as a win for all involved, noting the Forest Service is constrained by budgetary issues, his Marines need training oppor- tunities, and the taxpayer “gets a bigger bang for the buck.” Kassidy Kern, public affairs specialist and civil rights chair for the Deschutes National Forest, told The Nugget that the Allingham Guard Station “was origi- nally built in the 1950s as a cookhouse for the nearby guard station and larger com- pound. When the guard sta- tion burned down, the use of the cookhouse was then converted to a guard station and the building has under- gone modifications over the decades, which made it ineli- gible for listing on the his- toric registry. It has served as a place for one of our hand crews to be stationed out of, and then was also used as a fire camp until we moved fire camps in town to the schools.” Kern said the doors of the guard station were preserved prior to demolition, because “the hardware on the doors is historically significant and difficult to find. So when we do restoration projects on other buildings of the era, we should be able to repurpose them.” Amy Racki, recreation team leader for the Forest Service, told The Nugget that she enjoyed working with the Marines. “It’s a great opportunity to have Marines working in con- cert with the Forest Service, to help in restoring public lands,” she said. Racki said that the Forest Service has not decided on a future use of the former guard station, noting that all ideas were under review but that no definite plans had been decided on. Marine Sergeant Navalharo is a logistics vehi- cle driver from Eugene. “In eight years in the Corps I’ve seen houses blown up, blown up doors, watched line charges shot out of tanks, but watching them bulldoze the guard station was the best thing I’ve seen. It just went down,” he said, smiling. In addition to the demo- lition projects, Marines were busy cleaning up areas around the Allingham Guard Station that were choked with old wire, steel track- ing, and treated construction timber, and gathering it for removal. The Marines will be work- ing on both the Deschutes and Willamette National Forests until July 26. — Last Week’s Puzzle Solved — This Week’s Crossword Sponsors WE CAN FIX IT ALL Pump & Electrical Contractor IRRIGATION/WELL PUMP SERVICE FREQUENCY DRIVES • MOTOR CONTROLS • PUMPS A Division of Sisters Owned CCB#178543 24-HOUR EMERGENCY SERVICE Curt 541-480-1404 • Zach 541-420-8170 Come Com m try our delicious pizza! “W “Whenever W we get a takeout pizza in Si is Sisters, it has to be from Takoda’s.” ★★★★ Trip Advisor Review Mon-Fri 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Sat 8 a.m.-9 p.m. Bar 11 a.m. to close daily TAK AVAIL EOUT ABLE 425 Hwy. 20 W.
