Siskiyou Project events
Forestland
total today
near 1600s
There is nearly the
same amount of forestland
in Oregon today as four
centuries ago, said The
Oregon Forest Resources
Institute (OFRI).
The loss, approxi-
mately 8 percent, has been
for human use. Agricul-
ture, the establishment of
cities and towns, industrial
development, highways
and electric transmission
lines, have contributed to
the conversion of forest-
land for human needs, said
OFRI.
“Of the 30 million
acres of forestland in Ore-
gon in the 1630s, approxi-
mately 2.5 million acres
have been converted to
non-forest use,” the or-
ganization said.
On Saturday, April 3
anyone interested can hike
through the proposed
Anderson West Timber
Sale in Selma.
This moderate 2-mile
hike on the Lone Pine
Prospect Trail goes
through 300 acres of older
forest leading to the Lone
Pine Prospect mine.
The hike is co-
sponsored by the Siskiyou
Project and the Deer Creek
Association. Hikers should
bring water and snacks and
meet at the Selma Select
Market at 10 a.m.
On Sunday, April 4 at
8 a.m. ecologist Rich
Nawa will lead a strenuous
13-mile hike to Chetco
Pass continuing on to a
small mountain pond in the
shadow of Pearsoll Peak
on the edge of the

DANDY DUGOUT DELIGHT - Volunteers with Illinois Valley Little League continue to
work to improve the ball field and related items at Jubilee Park. New dugouts are
being built and are awaiting installation of roofs. Volunteers also are resurfacing the
field in preparation for the start of the season on Saturday, April 10. The season
opening ceremony will be on May 1.
Lovejoy Hospice offers CJ support
counselors who can assist
with understanding and
coping with the grieving
process.
*Adult support groups:
there are three weekly
‘Beyond Loss’ support
groups to help adults walk
through grief with others
who are having or have
had a similar experience.
*Children support
groups: Lovejoy Hospice
offers a ‘Good Grief’ pro-
gram to help children and
their parents with their
grieving.
*Crisis-Debriefing: to
help alleviate the stress
that is often involved when
caring for someone who is
seriously ill, support staff
will discuss with families,
and all who were involved
in the patients care, their
experience and loss.
*Lending Library: the
CJ center offers a variety
of books and pamphlets to
help families both before
and after the death of a
loved one.
Fish water quality noted
New water quality
standards designed to pro-
tect salmon and trout were
approved by Oregon Dept.
of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) and the U.S. Envi-
ronmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
“These standards pro-
vide a state-of-the-art tool
for local communities and
watersheds. They will con-
tinue the protection and
recovery of the state’s en-
dangered salmon and trout
species,” said Holly
Schroeder, administrator of
DEQ’s Water Quality Di-
vision.
“These new standards
are an important step in
addressing the endangered
species issue and improv-
ing water quality overall in
Oregon,” she said.
The new standards
include:
*A complete update of
water temperature stan-
dards. As a result, all new
An all-congregations
service will be held on
Sunday, April 4 at 6 p.m.
at Takilma Bible Church,
10300 Takilma Road
and renewed water quality
permits in Oregon will
need to meet more protec-
tive targets for tempera-
ture.
*Methods to use Ore-
gon’s “anti-degradation”
policy. Under this policy,
proposed new or increased
pollution discharges must
go through a water degra-
dation review by DEQ be-
fore they can be allowed.
*Revisions to criteria
for intergravel dissolved
oxygen levels for further
protection of salmon and
trout spawning.
DEQ will implement
the new temperature stan-
dards for use in future list-
ings of impaired water
bodies and for issuance of
pollution load limits for
Oregon rivers and streams.
To qualify for hospice,
patients must be certified
by their doctor and the
Hospice medical director
that they are terminally ill
and probably have less
than six months to live.
Lovejoy Hospice is
not-for-profit, funded by
Medicare, insurance pay-
ments, grants and commu-
nity donation.
Patients who don’t
have insurance, or make
too much money to qualify
for insurance such as OHP
or Medicare, can still re-
ceive hospice care thanks
to community donation
and Hospice fundraisers.
Volunteers are avail-
able at the church on Tues-
days and Thursdays from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to pro-
vide information for any-
one wishing to utilize
Lovejoy Hospice.
For more information,

A group of concerned
Illinois Valley residents is
seeking federal surveil-
lance to stop paint pollu-
tion on “The Rock” in Illi-
nois River at first bridge.
Troops, helicopters
and tanks are being re-
quested. “This defacing the
rock, and possibly getting
paint in the river must be
stopped,” said one person.
Implementation of the
effort, estimated to cost
$20 billion per month, will
begin on Thursday, April
1, which turns out to be All
Fools’ Day.

Lovejoy Hospice, a
care program for termi-
nally ill patients and their
families, recently opened a
facility at Immanuel
United Methodist Church
in Cave Junction.
Hospice provides a
means for terminally ill
patients to get physical
care and counseling to help
during their final stages.
Since families of the
patients are usually the
caregivers and often have
little time for breaks or to
take care of personal
needs, Hospice volunteers
go out to the patients home
and give respite to the
caregivers.
The CJ center has nine
trained volunteers who can
provide patients and their
families access to grief
support services including:
*Counseling for indi-
viduals and families: ap-
pointments can be made to
meet with professional
Kalmiopsis Wilderness.
The hike will include
some of the hottest areas
burned in the Biscuit Fire
and will be an opportunity
to learn about forest and
fire ecology while experi-
encing natural recovery.
The hike is free of
charge and anyone inter-
ested can meet to car-pool
at 8 a.m. at Selma Select
M a r k e t . P a r t i c i p a nt s
should bring lunch, snacks
and water, wear layered
clothing and hiking boots.
On Tuesday, April 6 at
7 p.m. the Siskiyou Project
will offer a two-hour film
titled “Tree Sit” which de-
tails the attempts to save
the Redwood Forests of
Northern California.
The film will be shown
at the Siskiyou Project of-
fice at 9335 Takilma Road.
