Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, October 29, 2003 Page 9 New rules for real estate licensees Scott Thornhill Illinois Valley Unit Director for the Boys & Girls Club of the Rogue Valley Age: 33 Lived in Illinois Valley: 30 years How did you get involved with the Boys & Girls Club? It was a summer job (after) coming home from college. I was the athletic director/summer recreation guy and the lady that was running left and I’ve taken over. I’ve been working for the club for eight years. What do you like about your job? Seeing the light bulbs come on in kids’ heads. I’m always working with kind of the same age group, but it’s a new crop every year. You can kind of refine what you’re doing when you find out something that works and when the next year rolls around you can use that. I like watching the changes taking place. How many children are in the program? We ended last year with 290 kids and would average about 84 per day. We run from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. each weekday. The school year (fee) is $45 per child and that includes a $25 membership application. Or it’s $50 per family plus membership. We have a 20-to-1 ratio between children and staff. I understand your family is heavily involved with youth sports in the valley? My uncle (Bob Thornhill) is the head football coach at the high school and my dad is the athletic director (Gary Thornhill) at the high school. My grandfather (Wayne Thornhill) taught at the high school and was the football coach, wrestling coach and summer softball coach. What sports did you play in high school? Football and track at Grants Pass and North Valley high schools. So is the Boys & Girls Club program mostly sports ori- ented? Not necessarily. Right now we’re doing tackle football with a fifth and sixth-grade team. We’ll go into a basketball league after this. We also have volleyball going on for mid- dle school girls. In the spring they’ll do elementary-aged volleyball. We compete against teams in Grants Pass and Rogue River. Any other programs? We have one that we started this summer with the Siskiyou Institute. We have a woman that comes and does two class- room days and two field trip days. They’re doing a lot with the Biscuit Fire and how things are coming back. We just added a recreation program for the middle school too, thanks to a grant. We hope to add teen nights too. In general, do you think there is enough sports pro- grams in the valley to keep children occupied? Personally, I think there is never enough. I really think sports was the only real reason I stayed in school. It’s why my grades were up to a certain level and it’s what got me into college. It seems with all the cutting of sports there is less incentive for kids to be in school. Not every kid is a bookworm, but if there is an incentive (of sports) it will keep them into their studies. The club has also helped take over some of the sports programs the elementary and mid- dle school’s have canceled. What are some of your hobbies when you’re not work- ing? Right now, working on my house. But I also like hunting, fishing and mountain biking. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Cherry Garcia by Ben and Jerry’s. CJ man held for drive-by shooting James Sherman Josephine County sheriff’s deputies have ar- rested James Sherman, 18, of Cave Junction on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder for his al- leged role in a drive-by shooting. According to police, on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at approximately 6:07 p.m. two suspects, Sherman and 21-year-old Aubry General of Cave Junction shot at two victims from their ve- hicle. The victims ran, and Sherman and General fol- lowed shooting another shot from a sawed-off shotgun at their car, police said. Sherman, who was arrested at 206 W. Steven- son St., has been identified as the driver of a blue Pontiac used in the shoot- ing. The vehicle was found hidden by police. Deputies said the shootin g ma y h a ve stemmed from an earlier verbal disagreement. The names of the victims were not released. Deputies are still searching for General. During the 2002 and 2003 sessions, the Oregon Legislature, at the request of the Oregon Real Estate Agency, passed a revision of the statutes governing activities and actions of real estate licensees. These included chang- ing the name of the catego- ries for real estate licen- sees. They are the Princi- pal Real Estate Broker, the Real Estate Broker (formerly known as a salesperson) and the Prop- erty Manager. Those with a property manager license are lim- ited to activities related to rental property manage- ment. Besides the revised statutes, the Real Estate Agency has issued and adopted three sets of ad- ministrative rules in con- junction with the legisla- tive changes. Those indi- viduals holding property manager licenses are re- quired to obtain 35 hours of additional education by July 1, 2004 to keep their licenses. Although principal brokers or brokers are not required to take the spe- cific classes as those with a property manager’s li- cense, the news laws affect all property management activities. Those with a principal broker’s or bro- ker’s license are advised to take a series of training programs being offered around the state. For more information phone (503) 378-1640.
