the 21st year.
SPEAKER_09 (01:55):
Well, it wasn't just Chinook Wins, right, Roger?
I mean, it was a group of youthat really headed that up.
So can you tell us who theoriginal committee was?
Because I know you don't like totake credit.
SPEAKER_03 (02:04):
Teresa Simmons, Don Kennedy, Tony Molina, myself.
SPEAKER_09 (02:11):
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that was theoriginal crew.
And, you know, everybody's stillaround and still helping.
And Teresa will be there onSaturday.
And yeah, we're really happythat we've been able to continue
that.
Why?
The big thing is, is that thetribe takes a lot of pride in
the military.
And, you know, and I rememberJim Willis, who I love and
(02:34):
adore.
He is no longer with us, but hewas the head of the Oregon
Veterans Affairs Department.
UNKNOWN (02:38):
Yep.
SPEAKER_09 (02:39):
And he would get up and speak and talk about how the
Native American community, theyhave the highest percentage of
military participation than anyother designated.
SPEAKER_03 (02:49):
Any demographics.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_09 (02:50):
So that's one thing.
And, you know, they have anhonor guard that is dedicated to
showing their support of thisevent.
And so I think that's one thing.
And they want to, you know,protect our land and fight for
our
SPEAKER_03 (03:04):
country.
And on top of that, they have EdBend.
UNKNOWN (03:06):
They have Ed Bend.
SPEAKER_09 (03:07):
Ed Ben is so cool.
Isn't he?
He is a cool cat.
I love Ed Ben.
He is.
He's our WW2 guy.
And, you know, my dad was aWorld War II vet.
And so, yeah, it is cool.
I think that, you know, and TonyMolina and the crew that go out
there, a lot of them are Vietnamvets who were not welcomed back
(03:27):
into our country, you know, andthey would have to change their
clothes before they got offtheir flights.
Is that you?
That's me.
So, and I remember when TonyOrlando did his concert here, he
was one of the best concertsever.
I ever been to and when he didhis thanks.
And then when he also said,please rise if you were
(03:48):
peacetime.
And I thought, well, that's aninteresting...
thing to do like I don't seethat often when you have people
stand and and be thanked and andhe goes you sacrificed your life
as well you know you could havebeen called and I just thought
that's pretty cool so all thosethroughout the years I've been
this is my 19th year at thecasino that it's just
awe-inspiring of the men andwomen who put on this event
SPEAKER_03 (04:10):
now we have a number of displays that are already set
up up at the casino in the bigtent and then the military
display as well on the otherside of the where do all these
folks come from
SPEAKER_09 (04:21):
the Right.
So the military display of themilitary vehicles, they come
from Roseburg, Oregon, and ourOregon Veterans Vietnam Wall,
Chapter 805, they come from theRoseburg area.
And then this year, we arebringing back the vets, helping
Vets HQ, Oregon Memorial Wall,those men and women who have
died in service.
SPEAKER_03 (04:39):
Now, that's in the tent, right?
SPEAKER_09 (04:40):
Yes, and that will be in the tent.
They're arriving tomorrow around11 a.m., and they come from
Albany.
And then on Friday and Saturday,we're going to have vet services
set up, and then vets andmilitary, active duty...

We pay for active duty veterans.
And this year, we're going to dofirst responders.
(05:01):
They can get a free movie ticketand a free small popcorn if they
want to go see Beetlejuice thisweek.
Because today, we kicked it offwith 9-11 at the stairs, at our
beach access stairs with thefirefighters going over there.
And we had the biggest, really,I think the biggest support
today of police and fire thatwe've had in a long time.
And they were able to all getout.
So we We appreciate nobodyhaving fires and nobody having
(05:24):
speeding tickets today from 12to 1230.
We appreciate that.
SPEAKER_03 (05:28):
And it's really easy to remember 9-11.
SPEAKER_09 (05:31):
Absolutely.
And we're really proud that wewere able to incorporate
honoring them and thanking themfor their service as well to our
communities and protecting ourhomeland.
SPEAKER_03 (05:40):
Now, one of my favorite portions of the entire
Celebration of Honor weekend isthe memorial service that is
conducted.
And you have a special guestspeaker, I understand.
SPEAKER_09 (05:50):
Yeah, I know.
I don't remember her speaking atit in most recent years and so

amazing emcee because you reallyyou know you started this and
we're thankful to have Teresathere as well and we're hoping

and so I'm really excited thatshe's going to speak at it and
our new staff member our PRspecialist Andy Lusich he's

SPEAKER_03 (08:49):
Years ago, there was a military installation on the
central Oregon coast up at Hebo.
A lot of people probably don'teven remember it, but Tom
Carroll certainly does because
SPEAKER_02 (08:58):
you were stationed there.
Yes, I was.
From 1976, January 76, throughOctober of 77, I was at Mount
Hebo, and it was quite anexciting place.
To be sometimes and not to bewhen you have the 12 feet of
snow, 80 mile an hour winds.
But in the summertime, it'salways beautiful up there.
(09:20):
And when the wind wasn'tblowing, it was nice and hot and
sunny.
And it was quite an experienceto be up there.
You got to see the deer on theroad as you drove up and down
the mountain.
In the wintertime, it was chainup every single day at the base
housing, which was at the sevenmile mark.
And you'd chain up at basehousing.
And then you drive up the twomiles, basically up to the top
(09:41):
of the hill, and then go towork.
SPEAKER_03 (09:44):
So you
SPEAKER_02 (09:44):
didn't
SPEAKER_03 (09:45):
actually live on
SPEAKER_02 (09:46):
the top then, right?
Well, thank goodness, becausethe actual base houses, 27
housing units, they're alldouble-wide, manufactured homes.
And the problem with them wasyou were surrounded by trees.
They had nothing cut down.
All you could see was straightabove you for sky.
And it was about the most lonelyplace you could be in the world.
And I had just come back fromTurkey.
And we lived in a trailer there,and I swore up and down, there's
(10:09):
no way in this world that Iwould ever live in a trailer
again.
So in this case, we bought ahouse in 1976 here in Lincoln
City.
And I traveled back and forth toHebel every single day.
Now, Hebel was a radar station?
Yes, it was a radar station.
There was two different radarsites up there at that time, the
689th Radar Squadron and the Det2 Radar Squadron.
(10:32):
And the Det 2 did all thesatellite surveillance type
things way out in outer space.
689th Radar, they had thesmaller radar domes up there,
and they looked at the neararea.
near side of things and a littlebit of a dew line approach as
far as anything coming in offthe ocean, anything coming in.
It could be a possible attack inthose days.
(10:53):
That was back in the Cold Wardays.
And anybody could attack us.
So it was interesting up there.
I was in the communications areaand not in the radar area in
itself.
So it was a little bit differentfor me.
SPEAKER_03 (11:06):
Do you remember any incidences that you were
SPEAKER_02 (11:09):
really nervous?
Well, the only thing that reallymade me nervous in the
wintertime was watching myfellow airmen drive down the
hill, sliding sideways andcrashing at the bottom of the
hill.
And I thought, these guys don'tknow how to drive on snow and
ice.
Anyways, I had then a nicelittle Ford Pinto.
(11:30):
Remember the Ford Pinto, the onethat you never would drive
because of the gas tank?
Anyways, I had the cross-linkedchains on that car and chained
up every day going up and comingdown.
And that's where the excitementcame because you'd be going down
the hill, and even with chainson, I'd be sliding sometimes
sideways.
You couldn't control it.
It was glare ice, hard-packed,and it was a very, very steep
(11:51):
hill up there.
So that was exciting.
They
SPEAKER_03 (11:55):
actually closed the radar station entirely, correct?
SPEAKER_02 (11:57):
The radar station closed down in 1989, and then
they've since literallybulldozed over the entire site.
The only thing that's up therenow are TV station relay for
relay signals.
And they have television andradio up there and some cell
phone sites.
But other than that, everythingis paved over.
And all the things I rememberwalking down into these towers
(12:21):
and that, these huge towers,those all bulldoze over.
And you'd never recognize itnow.
You had your family with youwhen you were stationed there?
Oh, yes.
Myself and three girls and mywife, we were here all in
Lincoln City.
And the kids went to school at DLake and Ocean Lake.
The radar station,
SPEAKER_03 (12:38):
again, how many people were stationed at that
time?
SPEAKER_02 (12:41):
At that time, you know, it's strange.
At that time, it was allclassified.
You couldn't mention how manypeople were up there.
I would estimate from the day itwas probably 150 to 200 people
total.
So it was a small stationbecause with two squatters up
there, it was still a fairlysmall station.
And it was not much for walkingthere.
(13:02):
You didn't have to walk veryfar.
And most of the walking was doneand there were tunnels is what
they called them, and they wereliterally metal conduit tunnels
that you walked through becauseof the snow and the fierce
winds.
I had to cross a street once,and the winds were up over 80
miles an hour, and I had to weara parka up there because it was
(13:24):
so cold, and I got caught comingout, and the parka blew up,
billowed up, and pulled me onthe ground and started pulling
me towards the edge of the, whatI call, it wasn't a cliff, but
it was a hillside, If I'd goneover, I would have gone down 500
feet.
So needless to say, I wasn'treal happy that day being blown
over.
And I learned then that youreally have to be careful when
(13:46):
you're walking in high windconditions.
Now, obviously, you didn't havethe PX these days, or you did?
Well, we had what you call acommissary.
It's two aisles, one side, upone side, down the other.
And I never used it becausethere was nothing up there that
I wanted to tow home.
So unfortunately, it's one ofthose things that I didn't live
(14:07):
up there.
So everything we did wasshopping in the old days in the
old Safeway, about half the sizeof the current one.
We shopped at Safeway andoccasionally in Kenny's IGA
North when it was there.
And other than that, PX, well,there wasn't really a PX up
there.
So it didn't exist.
And
SPEAKER_03 (14:26):
the airmen that did not have families with them,
they lived in base housing aswell at the bottom of the
mountain?
SPEAKER_02 (14:32):
No.
All the people that wereunaccompanied, they lived in the
barracks.
They had two-story barracks upthere, and they had three of
them and a chow hall.
So these poor, I say poorpeople, because when you're
stuck on top of Mount Evo in thewintertime and you have no
transportation down, some ofthem resorted.
One kid had a motorcycle.
He resorted to putting...
rope around his wheels on amotorcycle and make it as a
(14:55):
pretend type chain so he couldget down the hill, so he could
escape and get off that basebecause it was just, the young
troops, they had nothing upthere, no entertainment.
Remember, this was before evenpeople even thought of cell
phones or computers.
This was back in the old dayswhen you wrote with a pen and
pencil and ink and paper.
So, yeah, this was back in thedark ages.
(15:17):
It had to have been a tremendousexperience, though.
Well, yeah, it was a tremendousexperience for me because after
coming back from Turkey, whichwas, I won't describe that
place.
Anyways, coming back fromTurkey, I was on the eastern
side, very close to the Russianborder, and that was not a
pleasant experience over there.
All the hardships we wentthrough.
Going to Hebo was a breath offresh air to me, just coming
(15:39):
back here to the United States.
But the wife and the kids, likeI said, they lived in Lincoln
City for almost two years thatwe were here until we moved down
to California.
They had a very good, fruitfullife and did a lot of things
they could do.
SPEAKER_00 (15:55):
We at La Roca are proud of our food, but don't
take our word for it.
Read the reviews.
One person wrote, the servicewas friendly and efficient.
Another writes, La Roca hasbecome one of our favorites
because it's authentic Mexicanfood.
SPEAKER_06 (16:12):
We may be young, but we are experienced.
Hi, Adina Zeller here, andZeller's restaurants are now a
year old, but the experience inpreparing and serving food goes
way back generations.
Zeller's Lincoln City and RoseLodge, come on in.
SPEAKER_03 (16:26):
Celebration of Honors this week, and of course,
one of the main activities ofCelebration of Honor is talking
to veterans, but we have anactive duty personnel here in
town.
An attorney in town, JoshZantillo, your company that you
were in is being deployed orredeployed again, right?
That's
SPEAKER_11 (16:45):
right.
The 41st Infantry Brigade withthe Oregon National Guard is
deploying to Kosovo again.
Why is that?
Well, the Oregon NationalGuard's on a rotation with the
active duty army to deploy everycouple of years.
It's about a five-year cycle.
You deploy for a year, then youcome back and regroup for a
year.
and then a couple years oftraining up for what your next
(17:08):
mission is, and then you go dothat mission.
SPEAKER_03 (17:10):
Going to Kosovo, what is the issue, if you will?
SPEAKER_11 (17:15):
The mission there is to create a safe and secure
environment and freedom ofmovement for all the civilians
that live in Kosovo.
They're an independent country,but they don't have their own
army, so there's a NATO missionthere, which is comprised of
U.S.
forces and other countries thatact as their standing army to
keep them safe.
SPEAKER_03 (17:35):
What do you tell somebody that is interested in
joining the Guard?
Why is Josh Zantello in theGuard?
SPEAKER_11 (17:43):
It's great.
It gives you the best of bothworlds for military service.
You get to serve the nation whenthey need you to.
You get to serve the state andlocal people when they need you
for like a natural disaster.
And with the National Guard, youget to pick where you live.
I get to live here in Oregon.
They're not going to transfer meto Washington or Korea or some
(18:06):
other place the way active dutydoes with their personnel.
SPEAKER_03 (18:10):
And again, the National Guard unit that you're
in now is in comparison to theone that you were in that's
going to Kosovo.
What's the difference?
SPEAKER_11 (18:18):
Yeah, so the Oregon Army National Guard is broke up
into the 41st Infantry Brigade.
They're the ones deploying toKosovo right now.
And the 82nd Brigade, which isthe support brigade, and then
Joint Force Headquarters.
And I went with the 41stInfantry Brigade to Kosovo last
time.
And then about six months ago, Itransferred to Joint Force
(18:40):
Headquarters.
And that's where I am now.
SPEAKER_03 (18:42):
Joint Force Headquarters is headquartered
out of Salem?
SPEAKER_11 (18:46):
Yes, Salem.
SPEAKER_03 (18:47):
And what is their mission?
SPEAKER_11 (18:49):
So Joint Force Headquarters oversees both the
41st Infantry Brigade and the82nd Support Brigade.
So it's the headquarters overboth of the main brigades for
the Oregon Army National Guard.
SPEAKER_03 (19:04):
Now, you are what rank at this point, Dan John?
I'm a major.
That's a lot of continuous work,is it not?
SPEAKER_11 (19:12):
Yeah, I've had to do a lot of coursework and a lot of
classes to get there.
SPEAKER_03 (19:18):
Absolutely.
I salute you for that course.
I was a ground bomber.
Nice.
Okay, let's talk a little bitabout, you did mention the
benefits, if you will, for beingin the Guard.
From a standpoint of a youngman, young woman going into the
Guard, materially, what are someof the benefits?
SPEAKER_11 (19:41):
Well, they'll help you pay for college.
They've got tuition assistance.
They've got a GI Bill.
Depending on which job you pick,you might be eligible for a
bonus.
You can get health care at afantastic rate.
I get TRICARE.
for my whole family for about200 bucks a month.
Can't beat that for healthinsurance.
And you get to do something funwhen you go to serve.
(20:05):
You might pick a job that'ssimilar or you might pick one
that's completely different fromwhat you do at home.
Is yours different?
It used to be.
I first enlisted as a combatengineer.
So that's the soldiers that doroute clearance.
We get to use explosives.
It's a lot of fun.
After about three and a halfyears of that, I switched to the
(20:26):
JAG, so an attorney.
So it's now the same.
Now I have the same job in bothplaces.
Different kinds of cases, butthe same job.
Is there a conflict in your mindbetween the two?
Between the civilian job and theArmy job?
No, definitely not.
We have completely differenttypes of cases and completely
different clients.
I guess under the circumstanceshere in my civilian office, I
(20:48):
would not be allowed to sue theOregon Military Department.
So in that sense, I've got onecase I can't take, but I can
give that one up.
SPEAKER_03 (21:00):
This is Celebration of Honor Week in Lincoln City.
What does that mean to you?
SPEAKER_11 (21:05):
Well, it's a great time to celebrate the veterans
and the folks that are servingnow.
The display that goes up over atthe casino is really something
to see.
I like it a lot.
I'm glad they do that for us.
SPEAKER_03 (21:18):
And on top of that, the Kiwanis Club, which you are
part of, gets involved with theflags.
Sure
SPEAKER_11 (21:25):
do.
Yeah, we put up the parade offlags.
The casino has us put up aspecial display just over near
them as well.
It's pretty neat.
SPEAKER_03 (21:33):
And that means what to Major Josh Zantillo?
SPEAKER_11 (21:38):
It's nice to be able to participate and thank the
other veterans that are in thisarea.
I guess it's nice to get a thankyou now and then, but it's more
fun to thank the other ones thatare around here.
SPEAKER_03 (21:49):
And with your law firm, your law firm is about to
move.
SPEAKER_11 (21:54):
We are, yeah.

but we bought a building.

Septic Service.
21 years ago, a special eventcommenced in Lincoln City thanks
to Chinook Winds Casino Resort.
With me is Heather Hadden totalk about Celebration of Honor,
the 21st year.
SPEAKER_09 (01:55):
Well, it wasn't just Chinook Wins, right, Roger?
I mean, it was a group of youthat really headed that up.
So can you tell us who theoriginal committee was?
Because I know you don't like totake credit.
SPEAKER_03 (02:04):
Teresa Simmons, Don Kennedy, Tony Molina, myself.
SPEAKER_09 (02:11):
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that was theoriginal crew.
And, you know, everybody's stillaround and still helping.
And Teresa will be there onSaturday.
And yeah, we're really happythat we've been able to continue
that.
Why?
The big thing is, is that thetribe takes a lot of pride in
the military.
And, you know, and I rememberJim Willis, who I love and
(02:34):
adore.
He is no longer with us, but hewas the head of the Oregon
Veterans Affairs Department.
UNKNOWN (02:38):
Yep.
SPEAKER_09 (02:39):
And he would get up and speak and talk about how the
Native American community, theyhave the highest percentage of
military participation than anyother designated.
SPEAKER_03 (02:49):
Any demographics.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_09 (02:50):
So that's one thing.
And, you know, they have anhonor guard that is dedicated to
showing their support of thisevent.
And so I think that's one thing.
And they want to, you know,protect our land and fight for
our
SPEAKER_03 (03:04):
country.
And on top of that, they have EdBend.
UNKNOWN (03:06):
They have Ed Bend.
SPEAKER_09 (03:07):
Ed Ben is so cool.
Isn't he?
He is a cool cat.
I love Ed Ben.
He is.
He's our WW2 guy.
And, you know, my dad was aWorld War II vet.
And so, yeah, it is cool.
I think that, you know, and TonyMolina and the crew that go out
there, a lot of them are Vietnamvets who were not welcomed back
(03:27):
into our country, you know, andthey would have to change their
clothes before they got offtheir flights.
Is that you?
That's me.
So, and I remember when TonyOrlando did his concert here, he
was one of the best concertsever.
I ever been to and when he didhis thanks.
And then when he also said,please rise if you were
(03:48):
peacetime.
And I thought, well, that's aninteresting...
thing to do like I don't seethat often when you have people
stand and and be thanked and andhe goes you sacrificed your life
as well you know you could havebeen called and I just thought
that's pretty cool so all thosethroughout the years I've been
this is my 19th year at thecasino that it's just
awe-inspiring of the men andwomen who put on this event
SPEAKER_03 (04:10):
now we have a number of displays that are already set
up up at the casino in the bigtent and then the military
display as well on the otherside of the where do all these
folks come from
SPEAKER_09 (04:21):
the Right.
So the military display of themilitary vehicles, they come
from Roseburg, Oregon, and ourOregon Veterans Vietnam Wall,
Chapter 805, they come from theRoseburg area.
And then this year, we arebringing back the vets, helping
Vets HQ, Oregon Memorial Wall,those men and women who have
died in service.
SPEAKER_03 (04:39):
Now, that's in the tent, right?
SPEAKER_09 (04:40):
Yes, and that will be in the tent.
They're arriving tomorrow around11 a.m., and they come from
Albany.
And then on Friday and Saturday,we're going to have vet services
set up, and then vets andmilitary, active duty...
military can get a free buffet.
The Bijou Theater, we partneredwith them a couple years ago.
We pay for active duty veterans.
And this year, we're going to dofirst responders.
(05:01):
They can get a free movie ticketand a free small popcorn if they
want to go see Beetlejuice thisweek.
Because today, we kicked it offwith 9-11 at the stairs, at our
beach access stairs with thefirefighters going over there.
And we had the biggest, really,I think the biggest support
today of police and fire thatwe've had in a long time.
And they were able to all getout.
So we We appreciate nobodyhaving fires and nobody having
(05:24):
speeding tickets today from 12to 1230.
We appreciate that.
SPEAKER_03 (05:28):
And it's really easy to remember 9-11.
SPEAKER_09 (05:31):
Absolutely.
And we're really proud that wewere able to incorporate
honoring them and thanking themfor their service as well to our
communities and protecting ourhomeland.
SPEAKER_03 (05:40):
Now, one of my favorite portions of the entire
Celebration of Honor weekend isthe memorial service that is
conducted.
And you have a special guestspeaker, I understand.
SPEAKER_09 (05:50):
Yeah, I know.
I don't remember her speaking atit in most recent years and so
we were looking for a speakerand you know you're always an
amazing emcee because you reallyyou know you started this and
we're thankful to have Teresathere as well and we're hoping
Tony can make it but I was likehas Dee ever spoken at this and

and so I'm really excited thatshe's going to speak at it and
our new staff member our PRspecialist Andy Lusich he's

rededication of that particularmemorial wall.

SPEAKER_03 (08:49):
Years ago, there was a military installation on the
central Oregon coast up at Hebo.
A lot of people probably don'teven remember it, but Tom
Carroll certainly does because
SPEAKER_02 (08:58):
you were stationed there.
Yes, I was.
From 1976, January 76, throughOctober of 77, I was at Mount
Hebo, and it was quite anexciting place.
To be sometimes and not to bewhen you have the 12 feet of
snow, 80 mile an hour winds.
But in the summertime, it'salways beautiful up there.
(09:20):
And when the wind wasn'tblowing, it was nice and hot and
sunny.
And it was quite an experienceto be up there.
You got to see the deer on theroad as you drove up and down
the mountain.
In the wintertime, it was chainup every single day at the base
housing, which was at the sevenmile mark.
And you'd chain up at basehousing.
And then you drive up the twomiles, basically up to the top
(09:41):
of the hill, and then go towork.
SPEAKER_03 (09:44):
So you
SPEAKER_02 (09:44):
didn't
SPEAKER_03 (09:45):
actually live on
SPEAKER_02 (09:46):
the top then, right?
Well, thank goodness, becausethe actual base houses, 27
housing units, they're alldouble-wide, manufactured homes.
And the problem with them wasyou were surrounded by trees.
They had nothing cut down.
All you could see was straightabove you for sky.
And it was about the most lonelyplace you could be in the world.
And I had just come back fromTurkey.
And we lived in a trailer there,and I swore up and down, there's
(10:09):
no way in this world that Iwould ever live in a trailer
again.
So in this case, we bought ahouse in 1976 here in Lincoln
City.
And I traveled back and forth toHebel every single day.
Now, Hebel was a radar station?
Yes, it was a radar station.
There was two different radarsites up there at that time, the
689th Radar Squadron and the Det2 Radar Squadron.
(10:32):
And the Det 2 did all thesatellite surveillance type
things way out in outer space.
689th Radar, they had thesmaller radar domes up there,
and they looked at the neararea.
near side of things and a littlebit of a dew line approach as
far as anything coming in offthe ocean, anything coming in.
It could be a possible attack inthose days.
(10:53):
That was back in the Cold Wardays.
And anybody could attack us.
So it was interesting up there.
I was in the communications areaand not in the radar area in
itself.
So it was a little bit differentfor me.
SPEAKER_03 (11:06):
Do you remember any incidences that you were
SPEAKER_02 (11:09):
really nervous?
Well, the only thing that reallymade me nervous in the
wintertime was watching myfellow airmen drive down the
hill, sliding sideways andcrashing at the bottom of the
hill.
And I thought, these guys don'tknow how to drive on snow and
ice.
Anyways, I had then a nicelittle Ford Pinto.
(11:30):
Remember the Ford Pinto, the onethat you never would drive
because of the gas tank?
Anyways, I had the cross-linkedchains on that car and chained
up every day going up and comingdown.
And that's where the excitementcame because you'd be going down
the hill, and even with chainson, I'd be sliding sometimes
sideways.
You couldn't control it.
It was glare ice, hard-packed,and it was a very, very steep
(11:51):
hill up there.
So that was exciting.
They
SPEAKER_03 (11:55):
actually closed the radar station entirely, correct?
SPEAKER_02 (11:57):
The radar station closed down in 1989, and then
they've since literallybulldozed over the entire site.
The only thing that's up therenow are TV station relay for
relay signals.
And they have television andradio up there and some cell
phone sites.
But other than that, everythingis paved over.
And all the things I rememberwalking down into these towers
(12:21):
and that, these huge towers,those all bulldoze over.
And you'd never recognize itnow.
You had your family with youwhen you were stationed there?
Oh, yes.
Myself and three girls and mywife, we were here all in
Lincoln City.
And the kids went to school at DLake and Ocean Lake.
The radar station,
SPEAKER_03 (12:38):
again, how many people were stationed at that
time?
SPEAKER_02 (12:41):
At that time, you know, it's strange.
At that time, it was allclassified.
You couldn't mention how manypeople were up there.
I would estimate from the day itwas probably 150 to 200 people
total.
So it was a small stationbecause with two squatters up
there, it was still a fairlysmall station.
And it was not much for walkingthere.
(13:02):
You didn't have to walk veryfar.
And most of the walking was doneand there were tunnels is what
they called them, and they wereliterally metal conduit tunnels
that you walked through becauseof the snow and the fierce
winds.
I had to cross a street once,and the winds were up over 80
miles an hour, and I had to weara parka up there because it was
(13:24):
so cold, and I got caught comingout, and the parka blew up,
billowed up, and pulled me onthe ground and started pulling
me towards the edge of the, whatI call, it wasn't a cliff, but
it was a hillside, If I'd goneover, I would have gone down 500
feet.
So needless to say, I wasn'treal happy that day being blown
over.
And I learned then that youreally have to be careful when
(13:46):
you're walking in high windconditions.
Now, obviously, you didn't havethe PX these days, or you did?
Well, we had what you call acommissary.
It's two aisles, one side, upone side, down the other.
And I never used it becausethere was nothing up there that
I wanted to tow home.
So unfortunately, it's one ofthose things that I didn't live
(14:07):
up there.
So everything we did wasshopping in the old days in the
old Safeway, about half the sizeof the current one.
We shopped at Safeway andoccasionally in Kenny's IGA
North when it was there.
And other than that, PX, well,there wasn't really a PX up
there.
So it didn't exist.
And
SPEAKER_03 (14:26):
the airmen that did not have families with them,
they lived in base housing aswell at the bottom of the
mountain?
SPEAKER_02 (14:32):
No.
All the people that wereunaccompanied, they lived in the
barracks.
They had two-story barracks upthere, and they had three of
them and a chow hall.
So these poor, I say poorpeople, because when you're
stuck on top of Mount Evo in thewintertime and you have no
transportation down, some ofthem resorted.
One kid had a motorcycle.
He resorted to putting...
rope around his wheels on amotorcycle and make it as a
(14:55):
pretend type chain so he couldget down the hill, so he could
escape and get off that basebecause it was just, the young
troops, they had nothing upthere, no entertainment.
Remember, this was before evenpeople even thought of cell
phones or computers.
This was back in the old dayswhen you wrote with a pen and
pencil and ink and paper.
So, yeah, this was back in thedark ages.
(15:17):
It had to have been a tremendousexperience, though.
Well, yeah, it was a tremendousexperience for me because after
coming back from Turkey, whichwas, I won't describe that
place.
Anyways, coming back fromTurkey, I was on the eastern
side, very close to the Russianborder, and that was not a
pleasant experience over there.
All the hardships we wentthrough.
Going to Hebo was a breath offresh air to me, just coming
(15:39):
back here to the United States.
But the wife and the kids, likeI said, they lived in Lincoln
City for almost two years thatwe were here until we moved down
to California.
They had a very good, fruitfullife and did a lot of things
they could do.
SPEAKER_00 (15:55):
We at La Roca are proud of our food, but don't
take our word for it.
Read the reviews.
One person wrote, the servicewas friendly and efficient.
Another writes, La Roca hasbecome one of our favorites
because it's authentic Mexicanfood.
SPEAKER_06 (16:12):
We may be young, but we are experienced.
Hi, Adina Zeller here, andZeller's restaurants are now a
year old, but the experience inpreparing and serving food goes
way back generations.
Zeller's Lincoln City and RoseLodge, come on in.
SPEAKER_03 (16:26):
Celebration of Honors this week, and of course,
one of the main activities ofCelebration of Honor is talking
to veterans, but we have anactive duty personnel here in
town.
An attorney in town, JoshZantillo, your company that you
were in is being deployed orredeployed again, right?
That's
SPEAKER_11 (16:45):
right.
The 41st Infantry Brigade withthe Oregon National Guard is
deploying to Kosovo again.
Why is that?
Well, the Oregon NationalGuard's on a rotation with the
active duty army to deploy everycouple of years.
It's about a five-year cycle.
You deploy for a year, then youcome back and regroup for a
year.
and then a couple years oftraining up for what your next
(17:08):
mission is, and then you go dothat mission.
SPEAKER_03 (17:10):
Going to Kosovo, what is the issue, if you will?
SPEAKER_11 (17:15):
The mission there is to create a safe and secure
environment and freedom ofmovement for all the civilians
that live in Kosovo.
They're an independent country,but they don't have their own
army, so there's a NATO missionthere, which is comprised of
U.S.
forces and other countries thatact as their standing army to
keep them safe.
SPEAKER_03 (17:35):
What do you tell somebody that is interested in
joining the Guard?
Why is Josh Zantello in theGuard?
SPEAKER_11 (17:43):
It's great.
It gives you the best of bothworlds for military service.
You get to serve the nation whenthey need you to.
You get to serve the state andlocal people when they need you
for like a natural disaster.
And with the National Guard, youget to pick where you live.
I get to live here in Oregon.
They're not going to transfer meto Washington or Korea or some
(18:06):
other place the way active dutydoes with their personnel.
SPEAKER_03 (18:10):
And again, the National Guard unit that you're
in now is in comparison to theone that you were in that's
going to Kosovo.
What's the difference?
SPEAKER_11 (18:18):
Yeah, so the Oregon Army National Guard is broke up
into the 41st Infantry Brigade.
They're the ones deploying toKosovo right now.
And the 82nd Brigade, which isthe support brigade, and then
Joint Force Headquarters.
And I went with the 41stInfantry Brigade to Kosovo last
time.
And then about six months ago, Itransferred to Joint Force
(18:40):
Headquarters.
And that's where I am now.
SPEAKER_03 (18:42):
Joint Force Headquarters is headquartered
out of Salem?
SPEAKER_11 (18:46):
Yes, Salem.
SPEAKER_03 (18:47):
And what is their mission?
SPEAKER_11 (18:49):
So Joint Force Headquarters oversees both the
41st Infantry Brigade and the82nd Support Brigade.
So it's the headquarters overboth of the main brigades for
the Oregon Army National Guard.
SPEAKER_03 (19:04):
Now, you are what rank at this point, Dan John?
I'm a major.
That's a lot of continuous work,is it not?
SPEAKER_11 (19:12):
Yeah, I've had to do a lot of coursework and a lot of
classes to get there.
SPEAKER_03 (19:18):
Absolutely.
I salute you for that course.
I was a ground bomber.
Nice.
Okay, let's talk a little bitabout, you did mention the
benefits, if you will, for beingin the Guard.
From a standpoint of a youngman, young woman going into the
Guard, materially, what are someof the benefits?
SPEAKER_11 (19:41):
Well, they'll help you pay for college.
They've got tuition assistance.
They've got a GI Bill.
Depending on which job you pick,you might be eligible for a
bonus.
You can get health care at afantastic rate.
I get TRICARE.
for my whole family for about200 bucks a month.
Can't beat that for healthinsurance.
And you get to do something funwhen you go to serve.
(20:05):
You might pick a job that'ssimilar or you might pick one
that's completely different fromwhat you do at home.
Is yours different?
It used to be.
I first enlisted as a combatengineer.
So that's the soldiers that doroute clearance.
We get to use explosives.
It's a lot of fun.
After about three and a halfyears of that, I switched to the
(20:26):
JAG, so an attorney.
So it's now the same.
Now I have the same job in bothplaces.
Different kinds of cases, butthe same job.
Is there a conflict in your mindbetween the two?
Between the civilian job and theArmy job?
No, definitely not.
We have completely differenttypes of cases and completely
different clients.
I guess under the circumstanceshere in my civilian office, I
(20:48):
would not be allowed to sue theOregon Military Department.
So in that sense, I've got onecase I can't take, but I can
give that one up.
SPEAKER_03 (21:00):
This is Celebration of Honor Week in Lincoln City.
What does that mean to you?
