Pentzer promoted to assistant district forester Blue Mountain Eagle Rob Pentzer has been se- lected as the assistant district forester for Oregon Depart- ment of Forestry’s Central Oregon District. Pentzer has been part of the district since 2012, serv- ing as the John Day unit for- ester during some very chal- lenging fi re seasons. He is a graduate of the University of Idaho, with a bachelor’s de- gree in forest ecosystem man- agement. He has extensive knowledge of forestry and wildland fi re from his time with ODF, and his prior expe- rience with Idaho Department of Lands. Pentzer will continue to work from the John Day of- fi ce as the as- sistant district forester. His desire to re- main part of the commu- nity allows Ryan for an op- Miller portunity for the district to add capacity at a higher lev- el in this part of the district. Pentzer started in his new po- sition in May. Ryan Miller was select- ed to fi ll the John Day unit forester position vacated by Pentzer. Miller has been the stewardship forester in John Day for the last two years, working with private land- owners to administer the Forest Practices Act and land- owner assistance programs. He started with ODF as a sea- sonal fi refi ghter in Dallas in 1998, accepting a permanent position in ODF’s Geograph- ic Information Systems Unit in 2000 after completing his Bachelor of Science degree in physical geography from Western Oregon University. He has worked in the State Forests and Private Forests Divisions, in addition to his GIS positions and his recent work as the John Day stew- ardship forester. Ryan, his wife, Elisha, and their son, Henry, have made John Day their home. For more information on ODF’s Central Oregon Dis- trict, visit ODFcentraloregon. com. Contributed photo Frank Fritz and Mike Wolfe of American Pickers are headed to Oregon this fall. American Pickers returning to Oregon American Pickers could end up in Grant County this fall if a local collection catch- es their eye. The History Channel show features Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, who travel the country looking for histori- cally signifi cant antiques — what they call “rusty gold” — that have been hidden away in the corner of an at- tic or barn. They have plans to fi lm episodes in Oregon in September, and scouts are looking now for interesting collections to check out as they plan their route through Oregon. “We look for really inter- esting items of worth,” cast- ing associate Natasha Moore said. “We talk to people and fi nd out the story behind the items and do some digging.” She said last year they had a good visit to Oregon and hope to see more of the state’s most interesting privately owned antiques when they return. “There were a lot of people and a lot of counties we didn’t get to visit,” she said. According a the news re- lease, the show is looking for “characters” with “sizable, unique collections” that the pickers could spend the better part of a day looking through during an episode. The long list of items they are looking for in- cludes old furniture, board games, movie posters, toys, vending machines, lamps, clocks, motorcycles, dolls, art, dishes, oil cans and other antiques. To bring a private col- lection (no antique shops or fl ea markets) to the scouts’ attention, submit your name, phone number, location, a de- scription of the collection and photos of some of the items to americanpickers@cine- fl ix.com or call 1-855-OLD- RUST.
