The Gran Fondo is part of the Oregon Triple Crown series that features a 117-mile route around the area which took even the fastest cyclists over fi ve hours to complete. This year, a total of 425 riders came to cycle the route, although there were two other shorter routes available. Residents from all over the state and from California, Washington and even Nevada competed. Hospital makes top 100 PeaceHealth Cottage Grove Com- munity Medical Center named Top 100 CAH for the third consecutive year PeaceHealth Cottage Grove Community Medi- cal Center was recently named among the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) in the United States for the third year in a row. This list was developed by iVantage Health Analyt- ics as part of the 2016 Rural Relevance Study: Vulnerability to Value. “We are honored to have received this rec- ognition, which is especially impactful as we strive to deliver quality, safe care with high patient satisfaction in a rural region,” said Tim Herrmann, Chief Administrative Offi cer for PeaceHealth Cottage Grove. “Thank you to our caregivers for your valued contributions for en- suring we provide the highest quality care here in Cottage Grove.” PeaceHealth Cottage Grove Community Medical Center scored in the top 100 of CAH on the iVantage Hospital Strength INDEX™. The INDEX is the industry’s most comprehen- sive rating of U.S. acute care hospitals, and the only one to include the country’s 1,300 CAHs. The results recognize that the Top 100 CAHs provide a safety net to communities across rural America – measuring them across 62 different performance metrics, including quality, out- comes, patient perspective, affordability, popu- lation risk and effi ciency.

Im- mediately following the cer- emony, the Roloffs invited us to their potato cellar, beautifully transformed into a wine cellar for us. After we sat with them and talked for a few minutes, they presented us with a bottle of wine that they had specially made. The label sported a paint- ing of our dogs! Delilah and Winston were in the wedding, included on the honeymoon, but they won’t be sharing the wine with us. The night the show aired we celebrated with family and friends. Halfway through the show Winston went to bed; ap- parently he was not happy, be- ing reminded that he didn’t catch the boom’s mic! Married life is incredible! We hope to add a little one to our family this year- a baby. Our dogs will make great nannies. Meredith and I loved sharing our wedding on Small People Big World, and will enjoy look- ing back on that incredible day 70 years from now.” Video Comedian tags bear cubs: https://www.youtube.com/ embed/vJRDpTUIrJI TIPS Did your pet do something funny at a family event?

It was a bit like a reunion tour for all the claims agents she’d defrauded in her long and distinguished career. The prosecutor paraded them before the jury, one after the oth- er, describing her performances — the horrible falls, the “blood” gushing from her mouth and nose, the sickening misalign- ments of knees and ribs, and always the poor wailing baby or toddler who was frightened but uninjured in the crash. The outcome was never in doubt. Off to the penitentiary at Walla Walla went Maud John- son to serve a fi ve-year sentence. The governor pardoned her out of the joint after two years, and she dropped out of sight. After her release, Maud John- son appears to have more or less gone straight, immersing her- self fully into show business. She appears only sporadically in the newspapers after that, in- cluding one time in 1922 when a minstrel’s troupe she’d joined disbanded suddenly and she had to raise some cash by kiting bad checks. But as far as I’ve been able to learn, she never again tried her fake-injury swindle.

Sometimes, after a particularly horrifi c-looking pratfall, she would even call for a lawyer and minister and make out a will on the spot. She was good enough that she might have gotten away with this for many years, had she not been seemingly unable to stick around after being paid. In case after case, the delivery of a stack of cash transformed her from a catatonic cripple into a hale and hearty specimen leaping aboard an outbound train. Her performances were so lucrative, and her abrupt depar- tures so obvious and galling to the freshly fl eeced, that the rail- road agents actually formed the Pacifi c Claim Agents Associa- tion specifi cally to try to spread the word of her antics and share information that might lead to her capture.
