Center ...
(Continued from page 1)
building was canceled.
This marks the second
time residents have at-
tempted to transform the
school into a community
center since TRSD closed
it at the end of the 2000
school year to cut costs.
Such an effort, Hunt
said, requires an immense
amount of effort and com-
mitment to be successful.
Hunt definitely exhib-
its those qualities, said
board of directors member
Jan Walker, who has lived
in Selma for more than
three years.
“Bill has a huge
amount of energy,” she
said.
The center, Hunt said,
will not only inform resi-
dents about what is going
on in Selma specifically,
and the valley in general,
and provide a community
meeting place, but will
also strive to promote
Selma tourism as well.
Anyone -- participants
don’t have to live in Selma
-- is welcome to suggest an
idea for the center as long
as it is safe, Walker said.
The main desire is to
incorporate the diversity of
each individual in the com-
munity into all areas of the
center.
“So no one feels left
out,” Tennity said.
That the organization
is not affiliated with any
one church, school or club,
will hopefully help resi-
dents feel comfortable par-
ticipating in center pro-
grams and events, Hunt
said.
There has already been
a strong showing of sup-
port for the center, Hunt
added.
During the first gen-
eral planning meeting on
July 14, dozens of people
either volunteered to help
out the group or signed a
petition supporting the
center.
Another general meet-
ing is scheduled on Mon-
day, Aug. 18 at 7 p.m. at
the center.
The fun part of it all,
Bill said, will be watching
the center grow and
evolve.
“Where we go is really
going to be the exciting
part of it,” Hunt said.

Lovejoy hospice ...
City merchants meet
(Continued from page 1)
(Continued from page 1)
said. “Our focus is keeping
people’s quality of life the
highest we can.”
Not just a place where
people can pick up pam-
phlets to take home and
read -- although literature
is available -- the goal of
the center is to create a
safe environment where
individuals and families
feel comfortable coming in
to ask questions and talk
one-on-one with the volun-
teers about how hospice
care might help them and
their loved ones.
All information given
to the volunteers is confi-
dential, noted Bill Shiery,
who has volunteered for
eight years.
A visit to the center
doesn’t automatically
mean an individual must
then receive hospice care.
It is the first step in the
i n f o r m a t i o n - ga t h e ri n g
process.
Once interest in
Lovejoy care has been
noted, a volunteer will take
down the appropriate in-
formation and a referral
will be made. The inter-
ested person or party can
then contact the Grants
Pass office, or someone
from the office will contact
them at their request.
“(Lovejoy) doesn’t
turn anyone away,” Shiery
said.
Individual donations
and a donation from The
James F. and Marion L.
Miller Fund of the Oregon
Community Foundation
are funding the center in
part, said Pam Allister,
Lovejoy development co-
ordinator.
The center serves a
particularly important
function in the valley, said
Remember, seniors are
worth a fortune, with
silver in their hair,
gold in their teeth,
stones in their kidneys,
lead in their feet
and gas in their
stomachs.
1+ year volunteer Bonnie
Greener because people
often do not have the
means or money to travel
to Grants Pass. This way,
they can still find out about
Lovejoy without leaving
their community.
“They want to stay
here. People feel comfort-
able here,” Greener said.
“Plus it makes it (the ex-
perience) more intimate
and accessible.”
Cagle said she also
hopes that once people
hear about, or visit, the
center more will want to
volunteer.
“We need a lot more
volunteers out here than
we have,” she said.
Shiery added he hopes
to see more men volunteer
as a result of the center
opening.
Allister added that the
center is strictly an infor-
mation center, and not
where people should go for
medical emergencies.
The center also doesn’t
have a phone.
The group extended its
appreciation to Immanuel
Church for making a room
available for the center.
Lovejoy is renting the
room from Immanuel.

burglaries “thinks they rule
the town and hang out in
Jubilee Park. And someone
is buying them beer.”
The Pernickas pro-
vided sign-up sheets for
those wanting to help pa-
trol or serve on a commit-
tee for making the group’s
concerns and requests
known to officials. Among
comments during the 45-
minute meeting:
*We need to apply
pressure to the city council
and sheriff’s office to pro-
tect our businesses.
*Because it’s getting
more difficult to stay in
business in the city, includ-
ing losses due to vandal-
ism and burglaries, the city
could become a ghost town
as people get discouraged
and leave.
*There are kids ma-
rauding through town in
the dark hours, tearing
down street signs, destroy-
ing planters and causing
general havoc for busi-
nesses.
*Parents need to be
responsible for their chil-
dren.
*It seems that some of
these bad kids are doing it
because they are unsuper-
vised and because they get
a thrill out of stealing.
*We need to confront
these kids and let them

to be the ugly stepchild,
not getting what we de-
serve and pay for.
*These kids are start-
ing to run the town.
*We love this town
and want to stay here, but
need police protection.
*Hopefully, some 14-
year-old isn’t going to get
smoked breaking into a
business. And there is con-
cern that merchants could
be hurt also.
