Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, January 28, 2004 Page 8 Illustrated tourism map of valley to be available By MICHELLE BINKER The folks are coming for a visit. Where do you take them? What is there to do or see in Illinois Valley? A lot! A new representational map of the valley, de- signed and produced by the Highway One-99 Visi- tor Association (HOVA), touts Illinois Valley as the “Tourism Capital of Ore- gon”. The map lists 50 specific attractions and mentions many more. The map, whimsically illustrated by valley artist Alan Laurie, was designed to provide a tantalizing and humorous overview of val- ley tourist destinations. Longtime community supporter Jack Heald com- missioned the illustration. When asked about the as- sertion that the valley is Oregon’s tourism capital, he replied, “Where else can you go in Oregon with so much to see or do? “Lincoln City claims to be the tourism capital, because all the folks from Portland go there. But what have they got besides the ocean?” Most other well- known tourist destinations in the state have only one or two attractions, he said. From Oregon Caves National Monument to It’s a Burl in Kerby; from Out n’ About Treesort to the Kalmiopsis Wilderness area and Lake Selmac, the charming map paints an attractive and enticing pic- ture of the valley. Heald is taking orders for the map, which is available as an 11-by-17 inch laminated placemat, a tri-folded tourism bro- chure, or a 4-by-6 foot laminated wall map. HOVA is taking orders at 592-3203.

The stated purpose of this change is to bring the county’s zoning ordinance into compliance with state rules that say larger “urban” commercial and industrial uses must be confined within urban- growth boundaries. *Updated land division regulations. This change would update regulations that govern subdivisions, partitions and property line adjustments to comply with changes in state law and to clarify confusing organization and language.

Simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself. –Henry Miller- *Updated development standards in flood areas to update the county’s flood hazard ordinance to meet federal standards.
