operations budget,” said
the executive director, “so
that more of what we raise
can be used to provide ser-
vices instead of paying
rent.” She noted that The
Alliance has “a good rela-
tionship with Oregon Dept.
of Human Services, with
some 65 percent of refer-
rals (in either direction) in
conjunction with that
agency in quarters at the
I.V. Family Coalition
Bldg. in Cave Junction.
Depending on pro-
gress, Mallette said The
Alliance plans to see about
“having a cubbyhole” at
the coalition site so that for
supportive services clients

their names added to the
list of 1,000 Friends for

IT’S SNOW, MAN! - A full-size snowman showed up
outside Taylor’s Sausage Country Store in Cave Junc-
tion late last week. The snow apparently was hauled in
from the Page Mountain Snow Park or vicinity. The
visitor sported a polish sausage for his mouth, and
pepperoni slices for his eyes. Several children enjoyed
playing in the snow. Light snow fell on the valley Fri-
day night, Dec. 26 but didn’t last long.
