Thank you volunteers!
The Applegater gives a big thank
you to the 50-plus volunteers who help
produce this community newspaper
every issue. The volunteers help with
everything—writing articles, proofreading,
preparing the paper for mailing (see photos
below) and more.
We are looking for someone to write
the new feature, “They live among us” (see
the first interview on page 13).
We can always use more help, so if
you’d like to volunteer, please contact J.D.
Rogers at 541-846-7736.
Is your Gater missing?
Some irate readers are not receiving
their Applegater. If this has happened
to you, please report it to your local
postmaster, not your mail carrier.
Sanctuary One:
Garden comes of age
by DellA MeRRill
At Sanctuary One we get things
done through a spirit of collaboration,
partnership and fun. There’s nowhere
that shows up better than the evolution of
our front garden. Starting with a patch of
dirt as hard as a cook pan just a few short
years ago, with lots of hands, manure and
donations we’ve turned the space into a
garden that pleases every sense. Here is a
brief pictorial history of its 2012 evolution.
Special thanks to the following for
making this happen:
• Sanctuary One volunteers and visitors
• Veterans
• The boys from Lithia Springs
• Shooting Star Nursery
• Solid Ground Landscape
• Dahlias are Forever
• Ashland Greenhouses
• Forest Farm Nursery
• Goodwin Creek Gardens
• The Grange Co-op
• Applegate Nursery
If you are someone who loves to
garden or has a business with plants you’d
like to donate, give us a call. There’s always
more to be done.

Thank you to the dozens and dozens of volunteers who spend hours prepping the Applegater to meet
US Postal Service requirements so that the newspaper safely reaches your mailbox.
