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.

*Elimination of urban
commercial and industrial
uses. 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.

would assure compliance
