“God puts us all in each other’s lives to
impact one another in some way.”
— Helen Keller
“I knew that I was losing my hearing,” said
Linda, “when I had to ask people to repeat
themselves. The surgery to stop the hearing
loss left me with a lifetime of vertigo.
I like to work, so I made lemons out of
lemonade with the disability by teaching
others and earning a living from it!”
Linda works for Vocation Rehabilitation
as a Hearing Loss Support Specialist, men-
toring people with hearing loss helping them
adjust to hearing aids and demonstrates how
to use the equipment.
Because deaf people are often reclusive,
Linda started a beginners American Sign
Language (ASL) class open to both hearing
and hearing disabled. Her goal was to help
everyone socialize and end the “stigma” of
hearing aids. Her classes changed lives and
they all became friends!
To keep their classes interesting, they cre-
ated a choir.
That Christmas, while Alan sang and
played guitar, the 10-member group signed
“Silent Night” for an independent living
group’s party. The choir was hesitant to
purr-form in public, so when the “entire au-
dience” responded by crying, the group as-
sumed that they were terrible and had failed
in their mission.
Just the opposite! The audience’s hearts
were moved to tears of joy! The choir sub
subsequently ended up performing all over
Eugene and appeared on TV and in the
newspaper.
“For people who rarely had anyone to
talk to,” said Linda, “they were tickled to
became famous.”
Linda’s hearing assistant dog, Jake, is a
seven-year-old Standard Poodle.
“I dreamed of Jake before we met,” said
Linda. “In the dream his name was Jingles
and he loved to dance. When Jake arrived
from Tennessee at seven months of age, we
named him Jakey Jingles. And, he loves
to dance! He also enjoys dressing up and
showing off, especially during Bohemia
Mining Days, when he wears his costume
in the parade. And like most poodles, he is a
natural-born clown.”
Jake senses when Linda has vertigo and
alerts her with nose nudges and becoming
attentive.
As her vertigo progresses, she lays on her
bed, and this devoted dog lies on her legs so
she does not feel alone.
“The worst thing is experiencing this
alone,” said Linda. “With Jake, I am not
alone, and he heals my anxiety.”
Jake has an assisted dog harness, and
when Linda puts it on him, he switches
from his goofy character to totally focusing
on guiding her. The harness allows him to
legally accompany her into stores.
“When I become wobbly,” said Linda,
“Jake leans against me and waits, as steady
as a rock, so that I can put my hand on him.
No one should ever touch a dog wearing
a guide dog jacket or harness because the
dogs revert from serious working dogs to
goofy fun dogs.”
Jake takes his life’s work of caring for
others seriously.
Early one morning, while everyone was
sleeping, Linda’s neighbors’ baby ducks
waddled out of their fenced area and headed
to the stream. Jake sensed that they were
in danger. He exited through the dog door,
came back in, and plopped something
LIVE, wet, and unhurt on Linda and Alan’s
bed. He then nose nudged the couple awake.
Jake had done his job and was asking them
to do theirs. Like Lassie, Jake showed Al-
len where the rest of the endangered babies
were and together they rescued the entire
fl uffy fl ock!
Sophie, a two-year-old Blue Lacy, is
Jake’s rescued dog sibling that their daugh-
ter, Sarah, saw on the internet! Amazingly
Sophie was pulled out of a Texan dog death
chamber when they phoned to adopt her!
Sophie had some learning to do. She
chewed 17 shoes and Allan’s favorite chair!
Pieces of the chair littered the entire living
room!
“You should have seen Jake’s face!”
explained Linda. “When these incidents
‘kept’ happening, Jake let us know HE was
innocent. Thankfully, Sophie’s behavior
stopped once she settled into our lives and
was no longer afraid.”
Jake loves two things: balls and soft toys.
He is a champion ball catcher, but his soft

shoe chewer!”
toys only last fi ve minutes. He chews them
up — everything except their little faces.
Several times the family has entered a room
to discover odd little faces looking up at
them!
“Time for Signs” Class
Beginners are welcome.

message, 541-767-3707
During Linda’s class I have made friends,
learned, and laughed. It is an educational
and social group welcoming both hearing
and hearing loss “paw”-ticipants.
TIPS
Jake, like every dog on the planet, loves
being petted. But as a service dog, “... he
turns into a goofy dog,” says Linda, “and
stops paying attention. This is dangerous
because I can lose my balance and fall. If
you see any guide dog, your interaction with
the dog may be dangerous to its person. It is
important to let the dogs do their jobs. Talk
to the handler, but not the dog unless the
handler says, “OK.”

“If you see a weird worm
creeping along one of your
plants, don’t kill it until you
have identifi ed it,” she said. “It
may well be a butterfl y caterpil-
lar, maybe a rare one that you
didn’t expect.”
To identify the caterpillar take
it to your county Extension of-
fi ce where a master gardener
will help. Or snap a good photo
and submit it along with your
question to the Ask an Expert
feature.
In addition to adding host
plants – and tolerating the cater-
pillars’ nibbling – you’ll need to
plant some of the nectar plants
favored by adults. Many of
these – zinnias, various daisies,
asters, goldenrod and milkweed
– may already have a place in
the garden. Since butterfl ies are
nearsighted, Stoven said, it’s
best to plant one color of one
species in a swath; a block of
blue asters for swallowtails or
a yellow moon of goldenrod for
red admirals.
Fragrance plays a part, too, so
don’t forget the sweet smells of
lavender, mint, sweet William
and honeysuckle. Around the
nectar and host plants, it’s im-
portant to provide taller plants
to act as protection from wind.
During winter, shelter becomes
more important for hibernating
adults and caterpillars, who like
to live in crevices in trees, walls,
under mulch or leaf letter, even
in empty sheds.
And somewhere there must be
a sunny spot for the butterfl ies
to warm their blood. They rarely
take fl ight when temperatures
are below 60 degrees, Stoven
said. Water, too, is essential.
Design a butterfl y puddle by
sinking a shallow dish right up
to the lip in the ground and fi ll it
almost to the top with wet sand,
which they’ll sip from.
And the usual reminder: Us-
ing chemicals in the garden is
counterproductive when trying
to attract wildlife.
Though the focus recently is
on the monarch, Stoven noted
that not much is known about
the western monarch and its mi-
gration, which could be why not
many are seen on the west side
of the Cascades. That doesn’t
make planting native milkweed,
monarchs’ only host plant, any
less important.
“I certainly doesn’t hurt to
plant milkweed just in case,”
she said. “But it makes more
sense to plant it for other types
of butterfl ies that are native to
this area as well.”
