| People's Bank Rogue Credit Union |
I second Bill’s recommendation of People’s Bank. It also processed more PPP loans than any other institution in the Valley. They really work hard for this community. Rogue Credit Union is also good. |

| Consumer Cellular | We have Consumer Cellular. It
is advertised in a lot of the west coast magazines and also in AARP publications.
We have two cell phones with 500 minutes and it costs us about $30.00
per month. We do not use them some months at all but have them for emergency
use when traveling and when one of us is in town and the other at home.
Google consumer cellular and you can get all the info. We have just simple
phones but you can get the high tech versions as well. They go out of their way to be helpful. I only had one real issue and it was my fault not theirs. I was just not able to figure it out myself but they were great and very kind to me. |

| MOBILE MADNESS | I used MOBILE MADNESS and was very impressed. I had a dead iPhone. I went to Connecting Point, Verizon, Fred Meyer and then the Geek Squad at Fred Meyer to get it fixed. They all said the phone was trash and that they would gladly sell me a new one (for over $1,000). I had given up and was about to buy a new phone when I started talking with worker at the Geek Squad. He recommended I go to Mobil Madness. I went there, They took the phone apart while I was standing there and found I had a loose battery connection which they fixed on the spot. There was NO CHARGE. I thanked them and gave them a $20 tip. The phone is still working 6 months later. I would go back there without any hesitation. | Bob Carter | 7/9/2020 |

| Holland Cleaners | Holland cleaners came and cleaned a carpet and an oriental rug for us. Both came out beautifully. He likes to clean rugs and carpets once a year. His price for the carpet seemed reasonable and the oriental a little high, but it was done well. I guess the saying: "you get what you pay for" applies. | Kit Stanford |

| Dalton Network Service | Yesterday I employed the services of Dalton Network Service to untangle the mess I made on my wife's computer. This was one of the computer servicers listed by the Technology Select Committee on MyRVM. Mike Dalton fixed that problem and cleaned up a bunch of junk as well in about an hour. I recommend his service for problems with PC's | Bob Saunders | 7/22/26 |
| Dalton Network Service | I have been friends with Mike Dalton for several decades, and in the interest of marital bliss, he has taken care of Marla's computer woes for 10 years, at least. I spent 20 years as a computer tech at Harry and David, and I give Mike top marks for his skills. | Jan Ritter | 7/22/26 |
| + of electronics | Where can we ’trash’ defunct electronics on campus (devices that can no longer be repaired or are beyond their useable lifetime) | Saul Krimsley | 2/13/23 |
| RVM Annex | The electronics 'bone yard' is still down at the annex at the far end. Yes, residents can bring their non-functional items there, or for a small fee Maintenance can pick them up and take them to the area as well. However there are many other choices for tech recycling in Medford and beyond. Here is an excerpt from from CNET, a tech information source, that I edited a bit, titled, How to Recycle Outdated Gadgets for Free.. | Elizabeth Van Horn -- RVM Staff | 2/13/23 |
| Best Buy | Best Buy accepts a wide range of tech products and while small items are free, TVs do have a $30 recycling charge (the same for computer monitors). What you can recycle: Best Buy can take TVs, cables and chargers, media players, projectors, laptops, hard drives, webcams, cellphones, calculators, radios, landlines, headsets, vacuums, fans, ink and toner cartridges, alarm clocks, speaker systems, e-readers, video game consoles, memory cards, camcorders, digital cameras, GPS devices and more. | CNET | 2/13/23 |
| Staples | Office supply store Staples also offers free recycling options for old technology. Staples can recycle accessories, adapters, cables, computers, cordless and mobile phones, digital cameras, laptops, routers, tablets, webcams, ink and toner and other office tech items. | CNET | 2/13/23 |
| Smartphone Recycling | Smartphone Recycling lets you print a free FedEx shipping label or request a recycling kit. Ship your old smartphone and you might even get paid, depending on the device's condition and age. Smartphone Recycling accepts devices in bulk, so you have to ship a minimum of 10. Depending on how long you've been hoarding phones, you might meet this quota on your own. If not, check with friends and family and make it a group effort. What you can recycle: Smartphone Recycling accepts smartphones, cell phones, MacBooks, tablets, iPhones, iPads, iPods and Apple Watches, as well as batteries attached or installed in devices. | CNET | 2/13/23 |
| US Environmental Protection Agency | US Environmental Protection Agency The EPA doesn't handle recycling and drop-offs but they have an information page that offers suggestions… https://www.epa.gov/recycle/electronics-donation-and-recycling What you can recycle: Again, the EPA's directory links you out to specific companies and their policies, but according to the list, you can recycle and donate mobile devices, PCs and TVs as well as imaging equipment and supplies. | CNET | 2/13/23 |
| Electronics Take-Back Coalition | Electronics Take-Back Coalition Like the EPA, Electronics Take-Back Coalition makes it easy to find manufacturer take-back programs in the US. You can browse over 25 companies' take-back program summaries, including Acer, Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Panasonic, Sony and more. The Electronics Take-back Coalition doesn't handle the recycling, but it can direct you to the proper resource for your needs. What you can recycle: Depending on the company, you can find places to turn in iPhones, iPads, smartphones, monitors, computers, printers, keyboards, mice, DVD and VHS players, cameras, TVs and more. | CNET | 2/13/23 |
| EcoATM | EcoATM EcoATM gives you a price estimate for your old phone that you can lock in on the mobile app using your old device's IMEI number. EcoATM will ask a few questions about your device like brand, model, memory, carrier and condition before generating a quote. From there, you can visit one of the organization's kiosks, located at stores like Kroger, Walmart and Dollar General. What you can recycle: EcoATM can help with iPhones, Samsung smartphones, tablets and MP3 players, Google Pixel phones, LG phones and tablets, Motorola phones and ZTE phones. You can also recycle chargers and cellular accessories like cases, but you won't be paid for them. | CNET | 2/13/23 |
| Earth911 | Earth911 Earth911 lets you search by device and ZIP code to find appropriate nearby locations to turn in old phones. When you visit the organization's website, click Where to Recycle at the top of the page to get started. Earth911 works with well-known businesses like Lowe's and Target, as well as local waste and recycling centers. What you can recycle: Earth911 helps you find locations to recycle, but it will also note the materials the location accepts, whether it allows drop-off or pickup for residential or businesses, as well as any additional information. | CNET | 2/13/23 |
| Recycling for Charities | cycling for Charities Recycling for Charities accepts technology donations, but gives a percentage of the device's value to the charity of your choosing. Scroll through a directory of charities, select one, enter the required information and click donate. Charities receive anywhere between 25 cents and $100 from your items. What you can recycle: Wireless cell phones and corresponding batteries, iPhones, wireless pagers, digital cameras, iPods, PDAs and Palm Pilots. | CNET | 2/13/23 |
| Call2Recycle | Call2Recycle Call2Recycle is a battery-focused recycling program. The organization offers drop-off options at locations like Home Depot, Lowe's and Staples, as well as shipment boxes for batteries and cell phones. Drop-offs are free, but recycling kits and shipment boxes cost between $45 and $115, depending on the size. What you can recycle: Rechargeable batteries like Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride, Lithium Ion, Nickel Zinc and Small Sealed Lead Acid weighing up to 11 pounds. Call2Recycle also accepts single-use batteries like AA, AAA, 9V, C, D and button cell batteries weighing up to 11 pounds. The organization also accepts cell phones and their corresponding batteries regardless of size, make, model or age. | CNET | 2/13/23 |

One is a rep with Ameriprise Financial, next door to Curtis Robertson (the CPA's office) and I am not sure of the name of the company represented by the other one, down near the Boutique. I do not know the name of the Ameriprise rep here at the Manor, but I have had an Ameriprise Financial Rep for over 15 years or so, and I have been very happy with my present rep's service. The one I have now has his office in Grants Pass, who I transferred to when I moved to the Manor 6 yrs ago. The person here at the Manor, joined Ameriprise fairly recently, long after I needed to transfer to one. Hope this info is helpful. You can call me if you want more info....I live in the Manor building.

| Tim Doherty | We've been working with Tim Doherty in our trust. He's down-to-earth and seems to be very interested in making things clear to clients. He was recommended by our tax preparer because he practiced law in the CA Bay Area prior to coming to Medford to practice law so he is familiar with the similarities and differences in law relating to wills/trusts in both states.

| Medford Public Library |
I’m constantly amazed at how often
I find the book I’m looking for right here at our Manor library, but,
that said, there are definitely times when I need the vastly larger resources
of the Jackson County Library System. It’s so easy to take the Manor
shopping bus to the Medford Public Library. Just takes 10 minutes. The
bus loads at 10:50 every Wednesday and picks you up at the library at
11:50 to return to the Manor. That gives you 50 minutes in the building.
You can search the catalog on the Internet (www.jcls.org ) before you
leave home and save time, if you like. You can even make the trip just
to enjoy reading a magazine in the big periodical room!
If we don’t use this service, we’ll lose it. |
Elly Cannon | 3/28/12 |
| Jackson County Library | In addition to searching the Jackson
County Library catalog online before leaving home, you can put in online
requests for any book in the system.
The library will send your requested title to Medford (no charge) and
have
it waiting on the self-service reserved shelf. You can even reserve books
that are in the Medford library itself and have them waiting for you
on the
reserved shelf, if walking through the large library is a problem. You
can
elect to be notified by phone or email, when your reserved book arrives;
or
you can check online.
From the library's website: "If an item is not in the library catalog, we may be able to borrow the item for you via Interlibrary Loan. Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is available to any Jackson County Library patron with a full service card. There is a $5.00 per item search fee for this service, whether we find the item or not." Read more about this service at http://www.jcls.org/interlibrary-loan.html I have used the ILL service several times to borrow genealogy materials from other states or lesser-known titles from specialty libraries. Of course, if the item you want is rare or fragile, there is always the chance that the originating library will refuse to loan it. In that case, you still have to pay the $5. When I read a book review of a promising-sounding title, I immediately log onto the library website and request that book. One may have to wait a few weeks for best-selling titles, but the price (completely free!) is right. If you want to try the request service but aren't sure how to do it, I'd be glad to help you get the hang of it. |
Pat Berglund | 3/28/2012 |
| Jackson County Library | Pat and all: I use the Jackson County Library system almost every day. I reserve books, check to see when the ones I have out are due and often do lots of searchs as I belong to two bookclubs. The Library calls to tell you when the book you have requested is available and you have two weeks to go in and check it out. What a wonderful resource we have. | Elizabeth Blue | 3/28/2012 |
| Jackson County Library | Thanks for the tip, Elly. I "drive" to the library, but
use the
small friendly Phoenix library as my "home" library. It takes
me less
time and hassle to get there. As Pat Berglund mentioned, it's easy to
reserve/request books online thru the library Elf system. However, I
ask that my books be delivered to the Phoenix library and have listed
it as my "home" library on my Elf account. An "old" Manor
resident
suggested this to us shortly after we moved in as an easier and more
convenient alternative to the Medford location.
I love our county library system. |

Clean, reasonable, safe, and very friendly, helpful, and responsible on-site managers. They have senior discounts, too. Highly recommend them! Their phone number is (541) 779-6789. They have many different sized units. Cascade Self Storage also has a place on Main Street, but Narregan has the larger sized units.

Take your tire problems to Les Schwab on south Pacific Hwy just past the Grange. They fix flats for free, check air pressure for free, even sell you new tires if you need them, but don't push them on you every time you sow up. I buy my new ones there, which means they rotate and rebalance them, for free, every 5 to 7 thousand miles. |
Mike Heverly | 12/28/2018 |
| Les Schwab | I take our cars to one of the
three Les Schwab tire dealers in Medford (see below). They will check
your tire pressures (FREE) during your short wait (usually 5 minutes
or less) in a warm customer area enjoying FREE popcorn. Obviously, Les
Schwab hopes you may consider buying tires from them at the appropriate
time. • 500 Matt Loop, Medford, OR 97501(South Pacific Hwy) • 5816, 701 N Central Ave, Medford, OR 97501(center of town) • 2095 Commerce Dr, Medford, OR 97504 (North on Crater Lake Hwy) |

They also have lots of fabric books for you to look through. At the time he did our chairs, he did not charge for pick-up or delivery. We found a write-up of him and his shop in the "Southern Oregon" magazine a few years back. We not only found him and his wife to be so accommodating but very personable as well. |

GREEN'S SEWING & VACUUM DISTRIBUTORS 541-779-3411 |
This place has been "around' since my parents lived at RVM--maybe 20 years, at least. Green's used to be located in the Safeway Shopping Center off Crater Lake Ave, but "moved" and I thought they had gone out of business when I saw they were no longer there. I didn't "remember" the name of the store so couldn't look them up. Instead, I found they had moved to a new location (been there quite a few years already) that is on a side street off Biddle Rd. near the airport. Because I didn't know they were still "around", I used another repair place a couple of years ago. Expensive and not very good. I "rediscovered" Green's and just had a repair done by them. THEY ARE WONDERFUL. CAN DO ANY KIND OF REPAIR AND ARE VERY "REASONABLE". |

If you decide to try them, tell them I recommended you, and ask for him. (You may want to use others there, but start with him until you know the others.)

Wow! what a response I got. Thank you all. And now I'm dying to let you know the findings of my research after calling all the stores based on your suggestions. We'll start with the most expensive, and work towards the winner: 7. A couple of people suggested Walgreens, but although they sell watch batteries, they do not take your watch and install the new battery. Therefore, I disqualified them. 6. Fast Fix Jewelry Repairs in the Mall charges $14.95 for a 1-time replacement, OR $19.95 for a 5-year contract. 5. Batteries Plus & Bulbs over by Costco charges $10 for a 1-time replacement, OR $15 for the lifetime of a specific individual watch. 4. Many people suggested LC Antiques on Riverside where they charge $10 for a 1-time replacement. But wait, it gets better. 3. BlackBird out on Main Street charges $7 for a 1-time replacement. 2. Walmart charges $5.98 for a 1-time replacement, BUT unfortunately they just recently instituted a new policy that you must have bought the watch in their store. Not to worry though, the best is yet to come. 1. All the credit goes to Jim and Amoena Quan who called right away and told me that the best deal in town is Father and Son Jewelers in downtown on Main Street where they charge only $5.00 !!!! (Now that I've told you, I sure hope they don't change their price). Well, that's where I'm headed (with all of my watches). |

| Safelite Auto Glass Corp. Medford (541-779-0500 |
We had the same problem and thru USAA used Safelite Auto Glass Corp. in Medford (541-779-0500 or 541-772-6700). They did a great job start to finish. Were pleasant and did the work in a timely manner. |

| Repair kit | I think you can buy a little kit at the auto parts store (over by Harry and David) that you can apply to the crack. Ask them and they'll tell you how to do it. | Bill Silfvast | 8/12/2015 |
| Bill's Glass | We went to Bill's glass. One time they replaced the whole windshield, another time they filled in a chip. I'm mot sure about a chip that has started to run. | Kit Stanford | 8/12/2015 |

Safelite Autoglass |
I've used Safelite Autoglass and also Bill's Glass (no relation) in Medford. Safelite comes to your location with a mobile crew and you need to drive to Bill's Glass for service I believe. |
