swathe it into windrows and
then bale it with a baler.
“We are in the process of
working out a deal with Bio-
Mass in White City to burn
the bales of alyssum,” said
Wiest.
“Once that’s accom-
plished, the ash will be re-
claimed, put into 55-gallon
drums and shipped to Inco in
Canada. There the ash will be
ran through a solvent extrac-
tion bath where the nickel will
precipitate out into settling
trays. It will then be dried and
stamped into capsule-shaped
pellets or into 1 1/2 to 2-inch
wafers,” he said.
“After that it will be sold
at whatever the going market
price is on the commodity
market,” said Wiest.
Kerbyville ...

help raise capital, the partners
believe. Other construction, to
allow for rentals by artisans
and the like, will follow, they
believe. And one old pond on
the site will be excavated, and
the wood chips therein sold to
raise money.
“There’s a lot of history
around Kerbyville and
Kerby,” said Pfohl. “The town
was once known as Napolean
(because of Josephine County
needing a Napolean), and
served for a time as the county
seat.”
Pfohl said that he “always
thought such a development
would be wonderful,” but that
until invited by Stellflug, he
didn’t think it would be
achieved. Now he believes
otherwise. He noted that in an
ironic twist, he was able to
become a partner because
while working for a mill years
ago, he purchased a 1965
Shelby, and kept it in pristine
condition. He was able to sell
it for enough to get in on the
project on a former mill site.
“Our development timing
will hinge on budget,” he
noted. “We’re doing this by
the sweat of our brow, and we
have goals, developing Kerby-
ville in phases, and we will
make it a fire-proof place. A
lot of those old towns burned
to the ground because of their
all-wood construction, and
we’re going to avoid that.
“We have much to do,
including water and sewer
work.”
People could begin seeing
the first construction of sig-
nificance as early as spring
2003.
Pfohl said that there are
positive signs for the planned
development, including those
from the county planning de-
partment. “Our area is in eco-
nomic straits,” he said, “and
we need something economi-
cally viable. We believe this
development could play a ma-
jor role.”
PEARL HARBOR DAY - Three Veterans organizations were represented on Saturday, Dec. 7 at
Cave Junction City Hall. The ceremony was to commemorate the attack on Pearl Harbor on
Dec. 7, 1941. The American flag was lowered to half staff while ‘Taps’ played. A wreath of pop-
pies was placed under the memorial plaque honoring Veterans from Illinois Valley. Pearl Har-
bor survivor Frank Ault attended the ceremony. (From left Mark Brockman, Ron Smith, and

Participants being sought
in diabetes prevention trial
Dr. Dennis Linden, of the
Rogue Valley Physicians
Clinical Research Group, who
is participating in the largest
diabetes prevention trial to
date, is looking for people
who are at-risk for diabetes to
participate.
The program spans 40
countries and will enroll more
than 7,500 patients.
The research program will
evaluate two medications cur-
rently (FDA) approved for
other uses, to determine
whether they safely and effec-
tively delay the onset of type-
2 diabetes and cardiovascular
events such as stroke and
heart attack.
Study participants must be
non-diabetic, at least 50, and
have some of the common risk
factors for developing diabe-
tes. Risk factors include a
family history of diabetes or
early heart disease, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol,
current cigarette smoking,
overweight, and previous car-
diovascular events such as
stroke or heart attack.
All study-related care
“will be provided at no charge
to those who take part, includ-
ing doctor visits, physical ex-
aminations, laboratory tests,
diet and exercise counseling,
and study medication. Finan-
cial compensation is also pro-
vided.”
Diabetes can be a serious,
life-altering disease. With the
prevalence of diabetes in-
creasing 33 percent during the
‘90s, it is considered by the
Centers of Disease Control an
“emerging epidemic.”
Long-term complications
affect almost every part of the
body and can include heart
disease, stroke, kidney dis-
ease, and nerve damage. Other
serious complications include
blindness and amputation.
Currently, there is no ap-
proved medication for the pre-
vention of type 2 diabetes.
CHRISTMAS PARADE -
