Bill’s Guests for: Monday, June 11, 2018:

6:35: Dr. Paul Nathanson, a gender relations academics professor, who has defined the field of mysandry in our culture, and author joins Bill on the show.

We’re talking today about gender systems in the culture, and why the culture seems to be shifting more away from male roles, and toward female roles models. Dr. Nathanson is author of (1) Spreading Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture (2) Legalizing Misandry: From Public Shame to Systemic Discrimination against Men (3) Replacing Misandry: A Revolutionary History of Men (4) Sanctifying Misandry: Goddess Ideology and the Fall of Man. It seems that Hollywood is the biggest culprit of this trend. From the polarizing “Ghostbusters (2016)” remake to the controversy over female versions of James Bond and Doctor Who, Hollywood’s proclivity for gender-swapped retreads is among its most enduring and contentious.

The trend — seen as empowering or annoying, depending on who you ask — is getting fresh attention with “Ocean’s 8” released last Friday, “Overboard” still in theaters and “What Men Want” coming out in January.

The new “Overboard” swapped Goldie Hawn from the 1987 comedy for Eugenio Derbez and Kurt Russell for Anna Faris, and has grossed a healthy $70 million worldwide on an estimated $12 million budget.

But it was disliked by the vast majority of critics, according to online reviews collator Rotten Tomatoes, which dismissed it as a “remake that fails to clear the fairly low bar set by the original.”

Get your copy of “Spreading Mysandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture.” Find all of Dr. Nathanson’s book right HERE.

7:10: Greg Roberts, Mr. Outdoors from RogueWeather.com calls in to bring to you the Monday, Waterworld Boat & Powersport Outdoor Report.

8:10: Dr. Dennis Powers, retired Professor of Business Law and local historian joins Bill in studio. Joining Dr. Powers on the phone, Sue Densmore, Executive Director of the Friends of The Oregon Caves joins the show for today’s edition of: Visiting Past & Present.

The Oregon Caves

By

Dennis Powers

Elijah Davidson discovered the Oregon Caves in 1874 while bear hunting deep in the Siskiyou Mountains. After shooting a deer, he followed his dog to a large hole in a mountain (now renamed Mount Elijah after him). With the sounds of fighting echoing from inside, he waited until hearing his dog howl weirdly. Making his way carefully into the black darkness, Davidson lit match after match to find the silhouettes of caverns, stalactites (hanging down like icicles) and stalagmites (from below, sticking up).

Forced to leave when out of matches, his dog soon followedbut unhurt. With the sun setting, he spent the night at his camp; before doing so, however, he set the deer by the cave entrance to entice the bear out. Returning the next morning, Davidson found a “monstrous” black bear lying by the carcass. Telling others about his discovery, the labyrinth of caves, chambers, and connecting passageways became fairly well known, but its remote location kept exploration to only the adventurous.

Experts determined that rainwater from the ancient forest above had dissolved the underlying marble to create one of the world’s rare marble caves. In 1907, Joaquin Millerthe fabled “Poet of the Sierras”visited the caves and was so impressed that he wrote an article about its unique beauty. Published by Sunset Magazine and entitled “The Marble Halls of Oregon,” the publicity gave the caves nationwide exposure. As a result of the continued advocacy, President Taft designated the 480-acre Oregon Caves in 1909 as a national monument.

The completion of now Highway 46 in 1922 allowed the general public to visit the site. The easier access also brought about the formation of “Caves City,” later incorporated as Cave Junction in 1948, at its junction with the Redwood Highway (Highway 199).

Grants Pass businessmen financed the lodging and staff to run the resort (a concessionaire now does this), while the Forest Service (later the National Park Service—or “NPS”) provided oversight and infrastructure, including cave lighting, trails, and a water system. During this venture, the Grants Pass Cavemen formed with their exploits of “imprisoning” women in a rolling cage during parades, imitating U.S. Presidents, and cavemen “appearances” at official functions.

Located 20 miles east of Cave Junction on Highway 46, the rustic-style structures include a chalet (1923, rebuilt in 1942), seven cottages (1926), a dormitory for cave guides (1927 with additions in 1940 and 1972), along with the magnificent six-story Chateau (built in 1934) that spans a stream canyon with one running through its dining room. The chateau is not overly fancy with rustic rooms, but its bark siding and look is unique.

In 2014, Congress expanded the monument nearly 10-fold, from 480 acres to approximately 4,550. The legislation also made the stream under the caves (named the “River Styx”), a scenic river under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, a first for a fully subterranean waterway. An extensive modification of the Chateau is expected to start in October 2018, whereby it will be closed through 2020. The NPS planned $8 – 10 million upgrade’s focus is to allow handicapped access (ramps to floors and an elevator), reconfigure fire escapes, improve fire alarm and sprinkler systems, insulate (so guests can stay earlier and later in the season), adding three balconies, and deferred maintenance–among other improvements.

From the sightings of Sasquatch to its exquisite marble caverns, this magnificent park lies close to us, both in distance and in its natural beauty.
