ownership. 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-

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

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

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.
We greatly appreciate the Alumni and general public who attended our breakfast.
Our proceeds will give us a good start towards our Thanksgiving and Christmas programs.
God Bless All of You! Lynn Boucher (Cave Junction Cares Program)
