This certificate comes in three parts: fac- tory to dealer, dealer to dealer, and dealer to cus- tomer. The salesman says, “If you will sign this paper I will register your car and license it for you.” You sign this paper - a “power of attorney.” He can represent you. Does he then give the certificate to DMV? I suspect he does. And all you get is a “certificate of title.” The word “certificate” means that something ex- ists. It is not necessarily the object itself. To check on this I found in the Ore- gon Statutes the following: “803.010 - The certificate of title is prima facia evi- Word of the Week Jackstraw: A figure or effigy of a man, made of straw; hence, a man without any substance or means 2. One of the straws, or strips of metal, etc. used to play jackstraws. Webster’s replenish the “minus money.” Polk said that the city is sending the James W. Fowler Co. of Dallas, Ore. a check for some $237,000 after about three years of litigation. The amount is to cover the final payment of about $77,000 plus inter- est; and the firm’s legal fees plus interest. He said that it cost the city some $229,000 to fix the treatment plant after the work was done. Legal fees have cost about $170,000. The engineering firm, Brown & Caldwell of Eugene, was “held harmless” in the situation due to an exclusion clause. “I can’t see throwing more money away (on the suit),” said the mayor. “We’ve got to stop.” The council agreed to send a letter about its un- happiness to Graham, pos- sibly seeking some reim- bursement for legal fees; and maybe to complain to the Oregon Bar. “The only ones who got rich in this (court case) are the lawyers,” said Councilman Rita Dyer. GP YMCA to operate pool Pending review by the city’s attorney, Cave Junc- tion will accept an inter- agency agreement with Grants Pass Family YMCA to manage and op- erate the Cave Junction Swimming Pool. City councilmen agreed to that 5-0 during their meeting in city hall Monday night, July 14. The city accepted the pool from Josephine County during the June 23 council meeting. The city will provide $2,000 and the county $20,000 for pool opera- tions. In addition, the city will take care of mainte- nance and chemicals, among other aspects. The Y will hire a di- rector and an aquatics manager, with Illinois Val- ley residents to receive priority if qualified. WE’RE MOVING! Please help us move our inventory!

THANK YOU TO THE CAVE JUNCTION CARES VOLUNTEERS Thank you to Taylor’s Sausage and Oregon Mountain Real Estate for their donations to help us provide the IVHS Alumni and community with the breakfast at Jubilee Park on Sunday, July 6. The expert skills of Margie Morrill preparing the biscuits and the ‘world famous’ Taylor’s Sausage gravy made by Mike Goff were unbeatable! The biscuits & gravy were professionally served by Rob Jarnagin and Susie Bates. The eggs were prepared perfectly by ‘Chef Extraordinaire’ John Morrill (282 of them!) aided by the ‘Best Egg Cracker’ in the valley, Judy Cunningham. Taylor’s ‘country style’ sausage was prepared by David Malone with Tim McBriety as our ‘Patty Man’ who ‘slapped’ sausage into perfect patties. Between the two of them it was absolute precision. Thank you to Sam Michel (Sam Michel Excavating) and Mike Barney for their preparation of the biggest, fluffiest and tastiest pancakes in the entire valley. Thank you to Barbe Lane for handling our financial affairs so efficiently and to Bobbie Jarnagin and Jennie Lane for their overall supervision and help to keep everything running smoothly. A very grateful thank you to Shop Smart Food Warehouse for their generous contribution that made this event such a success. Thank you also to Valley of the Rogue Dairy, Willamette Eggs, Aramark, Kerby Masonic Belt Lodge #18 and Linda Sallman (Red Garter) for their contributions. Fred Ball (Bi-Rite Auto Parts) and Loydeen Davis must also be mentioned for their generosity on our behalf. A very special thank you to Dave Pond who cleaned up our mess with extraordinary hard work in order to leave the pavilion spotless and to Damon Ellis for taking over the washing of all our dirty dishes. Appreciation goes out to Craig Holloway for taking car of the crews needs. Last, but not certainly not least, a special thank you to the Cave Junction Lions Club for the use of their state-of-the-art equipment and their time to help set up and break down the kitchen.
