Rogue Valley Manor Airport Shuttle |
I so fully agree with Connie Stroud that the service given by airport transportation is phenomenal, I’m sure not equaled anywhere, and I am so grateful . On a recent planned flight to L.A. they not only heroically rescued me, but also saved me from having to buy a repeat fare. So wonderful! |
Evangeline Peterson | 3/2/2014 |

Alterationist | Hi, RVM Women - I'm desperate to find someone to alter some clothing. Can you recommend a seamstress who can change decorative binding on a jacket? Thank you. | Janet Ross | 11/20/2011 |
Lynn Stafford 541 245 0451 |

Alteration Center 541-772-8535 |
The women who were, until recently, in the Alteration Center at the corner of Ellendale & Barnett are now in the Winco shopping center. It's on the east edge of the shopping center, a little hard to see, and looks closed until you get right up to it. The phone number is 541-772-8535. | Pat Berglund | 11/21/2011 |
Alteration Center 541-772-8535 |
I must agree with Pat. I have used these ladies many times and can find no fault with their work. One lady does primarily bridal items. The other lady is a well qualified seamstress even to the point of altering the shoulders on a man's jacket, a very tough job to do, and many are unable to do this sort of work. She has done this for me and promised the work was to be done in two weeks. However, it took her 12 to 13 weeks it get it done, so beware. | Joanne Hafner | 11/21/2011 |
Residents who are seamstresses Alternation Center |
Every Thursday morning from 10am to 11 am a couple of the residents who are seamstresses take alternation and repair jobs from Residents. They are located in the Hobby Room across from the Beauty Shop on the ground floor of the Manor. In return for their work they request you make a donation (amount of your choice) to the Fairy Godmother Fund. I have used them several times and they are excellent. You could take your jacket and ask if they feel they can do the work for you. Secondly there was a group of ladies at the bottom of the hill, corner of Ellendale and Barnett (they have since moved) called the Alternation Center 541-772-8535. I am sure that if you call that number they will direct you to their new location. | Elizabeth Blue | 11/21/2011 |

Actually he does things the “Old fashioned way” by hammering out fenders when possible, finding used parts, and just giving you a great deal. Instead of buying an entirely new bumper for over $1,000, he found a perfectly good used one for $300. Tell him, Sally Densmore recommended him. |

Cell phone service | Does anyone out there have a cell phone service that they like? | Anne Newins | 9/16/2015 |
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. |
Elizabeth Blue | 9/16/2015 |
AT&T Verizon |
We use AT&T for our cell phones, and Verizon for our iPad.We use Prepaid service for both. On a recent trip through Idaho and into Canada, we found some locations that had AT&T service but not Verizon, and some that had Verizon but not AT&T. Put coverage high on your priority list for comparing providers if you plan to travel with your phone. |
Skip Ross | 9/16/2015 |

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 |

Computer Refurbish for sale; repair; consulting |
David Jurling, Rick Baggott, and I (Mark Tollefson) are
resident volunteers with the Foundation. We take old
computers and clean off all personal information and,
if possible, refurbish them for sale. They are currently sold to other residents, employees, or given to other charities. You are welcome to buy them for friends or family as well. We always have some available, not just at events like the recent fine things sale. We try to catch everything that is just sent to the annex, but it is much safer to just get the computer to us (usually to David J.) directly. He can give you a tax receipt for the donation. Finally, if your computer is running poorly, I can often help. Just give me a phone call at 6713. And, if you'd like suggestions on getting new computers or printers, I'd be glad to offer my two cents worth of opinion. Mark |

Disposal 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 |

Weldons Cleaners 930 Phoenix Road #A, Medford, (541) 773-8782 |
Towne and Country Cleaners (Jack Anchick) tel. 826-5484 is retiring,
and is the dry cleaners we have used for the past four years. They picked
up the dry cleaning at your door and put their bill in your box. A great
service. They must have had permission to come on campus to do that. |
Don Bolles | 7/6/2015 |
Weldon's | I have used Weldon's for 16 years. Superior service with both laundry and cleaning. | Doyne Mraz | 7/6/2015 |
Nu Way Cleaners 541 773-3792 |
We use Nu Way Cleaners, 541 773-3792. They do deliver if you like. They are at 601 East Main in Medford and they do good work. | Jim Heaton | 7/5/2015 |
Weldon's | I have used Weldon's for several years - very efficient and able, to my perception. |

Archie's "Nu-Way" Cleaners 541-773-3792 |
About 2yrs ago, I found a very good place Archie's "Nu-Way" Cleaners. They use solvents that are nontoxic and also environmentally safe. This for me has many advantages. They also have pick ups and delivery free. 541-773-3792. Located at 601 E Main St. Medford. Try them and you will be happy with their service. I am. They also do alterations & repairs. Great people |

Weldon's |
We have never used any other cleaner but Weldon's. It is a good sized chain, run by a family, I believe. and we have been happy with them. Of course, they don't deliver to the Manor. We only use them for dry cleaning, so perhaps we're not the best to give a recommendation. |
Lee Willms | 7/6/2015 |
NuWay |
Yes we have used NuWay for 20 years or more. Recommended by the former Head of Costume at Shakespearian Festival. She said the only one she will trust her costumes to. I understand they also do silk rugs, and other fine rugs. Also leather |
Barbara Johnson | 7/6/2015 |
Can anyone recommend a local dry cleaner with reasonable rates? I took some items to Weldons and was floored that they charge $8 for one shirt! That's much more than what I was paying in southern California. | Allen Cagle | 9/4/2020 | |
Nu-Way Cleaners | As another former Southern Californian, we were also shocked at the laundry rates in Oregon. We use Nu-Way Cleaners They pick up and deliver and are less expensive than Weldon. We’ve been pleased with the service and the quality. Their phone is 541-773-3792. | Gini Armstrong & Ron Constable | 9/4/2020 |
Weldon Cleaners | I use Weldon Cleaners and they pick up and deliver from the manor Mondays and Wednesday. $5 per shirt and $10 for men’s pants. | Bob Walden | 9/4/2020 |
Archie's Nu-Way | The local cleaners are all VERY EXPENSIVE--compared to the Bay Area that we came from. Weldons covers most of the area and we didn't like them. They ruined a bedspread of ours and refused to admit or credit for their error. We use Archie's Nu-Way--in Medford (near Tinseltown). They will also pick up and deliver to RVM. Call to check prices 541-776-5254 Good luck--most things are cheaper here than the Bay Area--but dry cleaning is an exception. I couldn't believe the prices when we moved here. | Mary Bjorkholm | 9/4/2020 |
Nu Way cleaners | Try Nu Way cleaners they also pick up and deliver and do a good job | Dottie Prideaux | 9/4/2020 |
'Nu-Way' Dry Cleaners | Welcome to Medford! To your question for 'reasonably-priced Dry-Cleaners' the answer is not easy! We have been here since 2004 and tried Weldon Cleaners - we found that they do an uneven job - sometimes good and other times not to our satisfaction for - yes - a very high price! We changed several years ago to - 'Nu-Way' Dry Cleaners. They are also not cheap (I don't know of any cheap AND GOOD! Dry Cleaner in this area)!. But I can say that we have been EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH 'NU-WAY'!! Clothes - washed & ironed and dry cleaned come out LIKE NEW!!! So, the price is well worth the 'investment'!!! 'NU-WAY's Tel. is: 541-776-5254 | Anita Sumariwalla | 9/4/2020 |
Nu-Way Cleaners | S/sleeve shirts, pickup and delivery with Nu-Way Cleaners, (541)773-3792, and very satisfactory laundry and dry cleaning, charge $4.25 per shirt. Check with them re long sleeved price. | Jim Macmillan | 9/4/2020 |
Exercise Equipment Maintenance Exercise Equipment of Oregon |
As a result of the pandemic, we purchased a spin bike for our cottage. We felt that because of the upcoming fall and winter weather, now was the time to get some maintenance. We asked our physical therapist for a recommendation. He recommended Exercise Equipment of Oregon (541-885-5313). They were also excellent. They were prompt, efficient and high quality. There were two service technicians. They came right in and went right to work while following Covid protocol. When finished, one of the technicians reviewed all that had been done by them step by step. The rate seemed reasonalble. Another couple here also used them to service their elliptical. They were just as pleased. | Brian Rexon | 10/17/2020 |

Rick Wilson Ameriprise Financial |
Did you know that there are 2 financial advisors who have offices on the lower level of the Manor building? 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. My Ameriprise Rep is Rick Wilson, (541) 476-8573 (in Gants Pass), and he knows the rep that now has his office here in the Manor building, because I asked him about it last year.. | Julie Anderson | 10/7/20 |
Mark Degner | Jack and I have been using Mark Degner who offices down stairs for 16 years and are very pleased with him. Joanne | Joanne Hafner | 10/7/20 |
Cutler Advisors Jacksonville SEE NOTES -- CFA VS. RIA |
I would like to help you with your terms. CFA stands for Certified Financial Analyst. I am a CFA. It is a rigorous program covering 3 tests over a 5 year period. You could go on the website and see what all the body of knowledge covers. Generally the individual with a CFA does security analysis or market analysis or becomes a registered investment advisor. What you probably want is a registered investment advisor. This person makes their fees from hourly charges and not from commissions. This is an important distinction. The RIA has no conflict of interest and will give you advice not a sales talk. As you are looking to hire someone, ask how do they earn their living. I had my own Investment Advisory firm before I came to RVM. Still with my background, I use Cutler Advisors in Jacksonville. I have retired. | Jane Bardin | 10/7/20 |
Flag disposal | It was suggested that I share the names of places where you can take a worn-out American flag for proper disposal. Here they are (in no particular order): RVM security or any Boy Scout troop (who will take it to the Eagle Point Federal Cemetery), the American Legion on Jackson just W. of Central, 201 W. Main St. behind WinCo at the VFW post (I was told they have a disposal container behind McDonalds also), most fire stations. |

Gift Factory at Exit 24 | The Gift Factory at Exit 24 does an wonderful job putting together gift baskets. Bring in items you’ve purchased yourself, or, for a modest fee, let the store owner shop for you.

Lawrence Jewelers Main and Bartlett |
I have gone to Lawrence Jewelers in downtown Medford at Main and Bartlett, SW corner, on the recommendation of a former long time resident of Medford. I have had miscellaneous repairs, usually coming in at under the quoted price. Gail once served me concerning replacing some synthetic opals in a bracelet. It seems like you have many options, which is better than the alternative. Good luck. |
Kit Stanford | 4/30/2014 |
Now that Lawrence Jewelers is no longer, where do you suggest I take a bracelet to be repaired? |
Kit Stanford | 6/27/2016 | |

We have had good service from the jeweler at Black Bird on west Main. |
Paul Peterson | 6/27/2016 |
Facets 301 E. Main |
Kit, you might stop into Facets, which is at 301 E. Main, and is, I believe, across the street from where Lawrence Jewelers were. It’s a small shop owned and run by Suezann and Robert Rushing. I can’t imagine that Suezanne wouldn’t be able to repair your bracelet, as I know she is an expert in creating and making jewelry. And she has repaired a couple of things for me. The phone number there is 541-734-0930 in case you’re interested in checking them out. Good luck. | Elizabeth Escher | 6/27/2016 |

Mary Wright Gillespie | 6/27/2016 |
Goldsmith’s Shamrock Plaza on Crater Lake |
I had the same problem with jewelry repair. I think that Goldsmith’s at the Shamrock Plaza on Crater Lake is a good choice, also the jeweler on Riverside (don’t know the name, I just go there), right on Riverside about 7 or 8 blocks from Barnett, on the left side of the street. | Al Solomon | 6/27/2016 |
Father and Son Jewelry 126 E. Main |

LC Antiques | I have received good quick service from LC on Riverside just after Spectrum, the one I have been to annually for the 4 yeas we have lived here. They also provided some simple jewelry changes. Besides that they have many wonderful old grandfather clocks that chime at various times, I like waiting while listening. Friendly staff/owners. | Grady Kase | 3/18/21 |
Don Blue battery replacement service | The people who asked should know that I take resident watches for battery replacement at cost (currently $5) every Friday or on other days if I'm going downtown for another reason. I'm not soliciting business but I've offered this service for many years for folks who don't drive, don't have a car, or who would just rather not be bothered. They can call me at 6612 to learn how the service works. | Don Blue | 3/18/21 |

Elizabeth Escher | 3/31/2016 |
Farmer’s Market Man with a truck |
Thank you so much to everyone who responded to my question about where to have knives sharpened. Almost everyone recommended the same place — the Farmer’s Market (sometimes called Growers and Crafter’s Market), which is now taking place at Hawthorne Park on Thursday’s from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. There is a man who brings his truck with equipment. His slogan is “You shop and take them home the same day”, and apparently he is excellent and not expensive. I really appreciate all the input. This list is terrific! | Elizabeth Escher | 4/4/2016 |

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. |

Most residents don't realize that many local businesses have placed their advertisements in the RVM Telephone and Information Directory.

Atiyeh Brothers Oriental Rug cleaning in Portland, Oregon | Atiyeh Brothers Oriental Rug cleaning in Portland, Oregon will be in our area March 6 & 7, 2023 to pick up rugs for cleaning. A number of RVM people have used this company. I found out about them last year (and used them) because they had advertised in the Mail Tribune. They did an excellent job--the best I've ever had done. I don't need my rug cleaned this year, but want to share this information in case you need this kind of service. Before using them, I had used a variety of local services, but the job the "locals" did was not particularly satisfactory. Atiyeh will pick up your rug at a specified time and return it a couple of weeks later, also at a specified time. I was 100% happy with their service. Call 541-342-3678 for pricing.

We stored our furniture at Cascade Self Storage, 1011 Narregan Street, Medford, for several months when we first came. Very nice experience. 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. After we moved most of our things in, we downsized to a smaller unit on Narregan for a few months to store some other things. | Jane & Robin Blomquist | 6/11/2015 |

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 |

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) |

TV Recording/DVR/Tivo | I am thinking of alternatives to my Charter’s DVR
and heard that TiVo might be a good improvement. If you have TiVo, will
you kindly share your experience with me. Specifically I want to know:
1 Is it easy to install and connect to our Charter cable TV? 2 Is there a monthly service fee (TiVo and/or Charter)? 3 How many hours of recording it would provide? 4 Can it burn a DVD disk to extract recorded programs? 5 And more importantly, are you happy and/or would you recommend such a device? |
YC Wu | 11/14/2017 |
Tivo | Grace and I have a TIVO that lets us record 2 programs simultaneously (maybe 3, I forgot). Very easy user interface, and we couldn’t live without it. We never watch real-time TV and record everything we want to watch so we can fast-forward through commercials. I believe we bought a life-time (of the TIVO) subscription. Enjoy it, | Nils Nillson | 11/14/2017 |
Tivo | I had TiVo in hon n was very satisfied the ease n service. We had the annual contract n later switched to a lifetime membership. I don’t recall the details of services or costs as it was more than 8 Yrs ago. Thought it was better than DVD service offered by our cable co, who has since been taken over by Charter. | Salome Sato | 11/14/2017 |
Roku | My son suggested that Instead of getting TiVo that I buy a Roku device sold by Amazon which will stream all movies etc. direct to your television. you might want to look into that service as it’s the latest technology available as opposed to paying monthly fees. | Salome Sato | 11/14/2017 |

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". |

When we first moved here, some ten years ago, I asked a number of friends here I had met over numerous visits, and they all recommended him. I have not been disappointed, and I’ve used him for a number of rescue cats over the years (some quite old and not in great shape when I rescued them). 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.) I am 74 years old, have lived with cats all my life, and have never had a veterinarian I liked as well. Feel free to call me if you have questions. | Elizabeth Escher | 4/3/2017 |

Our family has been using Lawrence's Jewelers on Main Street for years and have been very satisfied with their work, both with watches and jewelry. I would highly recommend them. | Judy Hunter | 8/21/2015 |
LC Antiques |
I have seen guys working on wristwatches at LC Antiques. This shop did very good work with our grandfather clock and my Chelsea Ship's Bell clock. They are diligent and competent in our experience. |

Fast-Fix Rogue Valley Mall |
You could try Fast-Fix in the
Rogue Valley Mall. It's on the bottom floor right outside the Macy's
entrance. I think there are some brands they don't fix, though. They
had to send my watch off to someone else, but they fix most right on
the premises. They seem to know what they're doing, but I don't have
a whole lot of experience with them. |

Antique Clocks |
There used to be a watch repair store on Popular Street called Antique Clocks, I believe. Mary Jane Dellenback, currently in the Health Center mentioned it had moved and I think she said it around Winco. |

LC Antiques |
An excellent watch place is on Riverside, about a half-mile down from Barnett on the left side. Its something like "LC Antiques", but they specialize in watch and clock repair. Good luck |

Watch Battery Replacement | Where is the best place to go to have the battery replaced in my watch? I have gone to the jewelry store inside Fred Meyers, but they seem pricey to me. All suggestions welcome. | Carol Bourret | 3/21/2017 |
Walgreens Fast Fix Jewelry Repairs Batteries Plus & Bulbs LC Antiques BlackBird Walmart Father and Son Jewelers |
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. |
