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.

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.
