City may plunge into pool
(Continued from page 1)
VALLEY CIRCUS -- As far as can be determined, the
first circus to come to Illinois Valley will present perform-
ances on Thursday, May 15 on the lot between the I.V.
Family Resource Center and I.V. High School. The circus is
sponsored as a fund-raiser by I.V. Family Coalition. After
trucks arrive at 8:30 a.m., spectators can watch elephants
raise the big top at 10 a.m., with a free endangered species
show at 10 a.m. Performances will be at 5 and 7 p.m. Valley
businesses are being asked to purchased tickets and give
them away. Tickets are available at the coalition in the re-
source center on E. River Street. Check the ad in this issue.
ELECTION SECTION -- Ballots for the May 20 vote-
by-mail special district election will be mailed on Friday,
May 2. Those who do not receive a ballot by Friday, May 9
should phone the county clerk’s office. The election is the
regular one for school boards and special district boards,
said Brown. Even if some positions are unopposed, the can-
didates must still be elected. A ballot box will be available
at Cave Junction City Hall.
COP SHOP -- As part of Police Memorial Week, Sun-
day, May 4 through Sunday, May 11, a ceremony honoring
those officers who have fallen in the line of duty will be
held on Friday, May 9. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m.
on the front lawn of the county courthouse in Grants Pass.

phine County: Deputy Alice Moran and Deputy Glenn Al-
len, Nov. 17, 1971; Sgt. Marvin Brewster, April 21, 1972;
Search And Rescue Capt. Emmett Blackman, Sept. 24,
1968; Trooper Burrell Baucom, July 1, 1933; and Deputy

listed on the National Law Enforcement Memorial.
POTTERY PLACE -- An open house will be held at
Cone Ten Pottery on Saturday, May 3 from 11 a.m. to 3

NOTEPAD -- A National Day of Prayer breakfast will
be held on Thursday, May 1 from 7 to 8:30 a.m. at the Jose-
phine County Fairgrounds in Grants Pass. The focus will be
prayer for our nation’s leaders and for our soldiers and
emergency personnel protecting our freedoms. There is a

and Kamela Culver from Illinois Valley High School re-
ceived honorable mentions for their presentation this month
at the ninth annual Oregon State National History Day com-
petition in Salem. Ballard and Culver earned their state
berth by winning local and regional competition. Their sen-
ior group documentary is titled, “Rights and Responsibilities
of the Media in History: Princess Di.” “A Life With Dig-
nity Committee” is sponsoring a petition to “fix” Oregon’s
medical marijuana law. The intent is to make Oregon the
first state where patients could acquire their medical mari-
juana through state-regulated dispensaries.
LAST WORDS -- *Whatever doesn’t make you
stronger kills you. (Anonymous)
*The bridges you cross before you come to them are
over rivers that aren’t there. (Gene Brown)
She said that Grants Pass
Family YMCA still wants to
be involved in the pool,
whether the city or county
continues to operate it.
Kirchner said that she has
enough money remaining
from last year to open the pool
for one month this summer,
likely in early June. And by
that time, she indicated, it’s
hoped that the necessary mon-
ies for this year’s budget will
be available.
The mayor, although not
specifying where money
would come from if the city
takes over the pool, said that
money is available. He said
that costs could be lower, as
the city would assume respon-
sibility for items including
maintenance, and water and
sewer charges.
“It’s the only thing out
here,” he said of the pool, not-
ing that it’s worth saving.
County commissioners have
indicated money is tight, but
the mayor said that if the
county would help fund it one
more year, that the city could
“transition” into the operation
next year.
Dyer and Councilman
Dan Fiske are among mem-
bers of the I.V. Pool Commit-
tee working to keep the facil-
ity open for the valley.
Blanche M. Phlaum
U.S. Navy Petty Officer
3rd Class Blanche M. Phlaum,
granddaughter of Ronald
Phlaum of Kerby, and a 1999
Illinois Valley High School
graduate, is currently de-
ployed to the Western Pacific
and Arabian Gulf while as-
signed to the aircraft carrier
USS “Carl Vinson,” home-
ported in Bremerton, Wash.
Phlaum is one of more
than 6,000 Pacific Fleet Sail-
ors and Marines aboard the
ships of the USS “Carl Vin-
son” carrier battle group com-
mitted to maintaining peace
and stability in the Western
Pacific region, said the Navy.
During the deployment,
volunteers from Phlaum’s ship
gave a combined 420 man-
hours of their liberty time to
the Sae Doel Children’s Home
during a port visit in Pusan,
Republic of Korea. Phlaum’s
ship also made port visits in
Guam and Pearl Harbor, Ha-
waii where Sailors had the
opportunity to shop, sight-see
and enjoy the culture and cui-
sine.
Aircraft carriers like USS
“Carl Vinson” are deployed
throughout the world to main-
tain U.S. presence and provide
rapid response in times of cri-
sis, the Navy said. They serve
as a highly visible deterrent to
would-be aggressors, and are
equipped with the most versa-
tile and powerful weapons and
aircraft available, it added.
