Klamath County Museum hosts rare geological specimen
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – A historic geological specimen will be shown for the first time in a private presentation at the Klamath County Museum on Monday. The Becky Stone is an opalized tree stump from over 66 million years ago. According to the Rock and Arrowhead Club of Klamath Falls, the 23-pound Cretaceous-era specimen was first discovered in a California gold mine in Iowa Hill, California. The petrified stump then spent some time in the private rock garden of mine owner Kathy Morgan. The stone was later gifted to Lloyd Dirk, who gave it as a present to his wife, Rebecca. The stone was used as a doorstop for a short time, after which it was discovered to contain opal and fossils, including an intact, structural root mass and remnants of ancient insect activity.

Review: ‘Spotlight on George’ elevates the quiet Beatle
The Camelot Theatre’s retrospective of Harrison’s career as part of the Fab Four and as a solo artist is well performed by a magical band. George Harrison was a bit of an enigma when it comes to the Beatles’ music — and he demonstrated a fairly solid musical legacy when it came to his own. There is sadness, romance and hope in many of the songs underscored by a diverse rendering of styles: rock ‘n’ roll, blues, folk and even classical. He was not a great songwriter for the entirety of his career, but he wrote some of the Beatles’ greatest songs, including “Something,” While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and the stunning, almost perfect, “Here Comes the Sun.”
