James R. Bitney
James R. Bitney, 76,
of Cave Junction died on
Sunday, July 20, 2003 at
his home. Cremation and a
private service followed.
Mr. Bitney was born
on Dec. 15, 1926 in Na-
tional City, Calif. He
joined the Merchant Ma-
rines after high school in
1942.
After serving his coun-
try, he worked for the Ford
agency in Burbank, Calif.
until he was recalled into
active services with the Air
Force until 1956.
For the next 19 years
he was very active in the
motion film business at the
Pathe Studios in Holly-
wood, Calif.
In 1975, he accepted a
job of ranch manager at
Deer Creek Ranch in
Selma.
He had never been, or
worked, on a ranch before,
but with the help of
neighbors Paul and Bill
Pfohl and family at Q Bar
Ranch, Joe and his father
Sam Wilson, Carl Alleman
and lots of book reading,
he said he finally got the
“hang” of ranching.

Just a note to officially
thank Father Casmir On-
yegwara for coming to
Cave Junction to celebrate
Mass on Aug. 10. During
this Mass he baptized Elli-
ott Michael John Harris,
the first Sacrament of Bap-
tism he performed since
coming to Saint Anne’s on
July 1.
Another recent cele-
bration was the Feast of
the Assumption on Friday,
Aug. 15 when we honored
Mary, the mother of Jesus,
who was assumed into
heaven by her Son. Next
on our liturgy agenda will
be the 21st Sunday in Or-
dinary Time when we will
continue our focus on
John’s Gospel, Chapter 6.
