In addition to conserving and displaying natural and cultural resources, the High Desert Museum is now conserving another resource: energy. As a Pacific Power customer, the museum took advantage of cash incentives from Energy Trust of Oregon to upgrade its lighting to energy-efficient LEDs. The new lighting produces less heat, which helps conserve the artifacts, and with lower operating and labor costs, it’s better for the bottom line, too.

    Volunteer Corner Family History Preserving history with Retracing the steps of one someone who has lived it! Deschutes County family See p. 4 See p. 2 The Homesteader Deschutes County Historical Society Newsletter—March 2021 A Brief Retrospective of Land Surveying in Deschutes County by Mike Berry On March 21-27, surveyors around the nation will celebrate National Surveyors Week, a week set aside by the profession to promote public recognition of surveying and honor the role surveyors play in the nation’s economy. Both the national land surveyors’ society, The National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS), and the Oregon society, The Professional Land Surveyors of Oregon (PLSO), are actively involved in this celebration. The purpose of these groups is to advance the protection of public welfare relative to surveying and mapping issues, encourage high standards of ethical and professional behavior and promote public faith and confidence in the profession. Additionally these groups support new practical methods of surveying, promote good business practice, monitor national and state laws and regulations, encourage improved higher education curricula and provide continuing education for surveyors. In today’s world land surveyors’ work is crucial to responsible land development, infrastructure, property management and the stability of property boundaries and land ownership. Surveyors determine property boundaries and features, identify easements and encroachments, and map and monument newly created land divisions. Surveyors are involved in the planning and execution of most forms of construction such as roads, homes, dams, canals, skyscrapers and utilities. They work with and advise planners, architects, developers, attorneys, realtors, title companies, home builders, heavy construction companies, Federal, State, County and City government, law enforcement, the military, utilities and home owners.

A genuine small town, it is the cen- tral business hub of Star Valley, which was settled by pioneers from the LDS (Mormon) church in 1879. The winter of 1879-1880 was brutal, but they endured the near starvation and frigid tem- peratures. In the center of town, the Afton Tabernacle still stands as a monument to their fortitude. The signature Elkhorn Arch nearby, which spans Main Street, is made of over 3,000 antlers. Afton celebrated its first 100 years in 2002. Though still a dominantly agricultural community, locals have embraced tourism, which has resulted from the overflow of visitors to the Jackson and the Wind River areas.

Dan Despotopulos indicated that the Fair provided food service at the Sportsman's' Show last weekend, with estimated revenue of$44,000. He reviewed the food & beverage policy and contract, and noted that some ofthe information will be available on the new website. He said they previously discussed catering and how the rental of equipment would work. They decided to change that part ofthe program and not offer a rental program, but just charge a flat fee. Three preferred caterers are in contract for this year. They pay 120/0 of gross sales minus the service fees (gratuity). Ifthey want to use the kitchen for anything, they pay an additional 3%. The caterers like this much better. At some point, there may be three events at a time with three different caterers. This makes it simpler for all.
