I.V. aid main CRT goal
(Continued from page 1)
ward its goal of affordable
housing in Illinois Valley.
It helps those seeking
housing assistance to ac-
cess existing government
programs.
*Secured a $185,000
grant to aid construction
and other costs for I.V.
Safe House Alliance,
Siskiyou Field Institute,
I.V. Family Coalition, and
Kerbyville Museum.
*Assisted with forma-
tion of the Southern Ore-
gon Guild for artisans, and
supported local wood-
worker’s efforts to develop
a photo studio and website.
*Funded a plan to
build a pavilion at “Forks”
State Park, where it hosts
the Illinois River Celebra-
tion and runs its annual
“Down By the Riverside”
clean-up.
*Funded computers for
Illinois Valley High, Lorna
Byrne Middle, and Ever-
green Elementary schools,
Selma, and Boys and Girls
Club. It helped bring Inter-
net to I.V. schools, built
the Takilma Dome School
kitchen, renovated the
IVHS music room, and
supplied the I.V. tissue
culture laboratory. It also
sponsored the I.V. commu-
nity education program in
conjunction with RCC.
*Supported I.V. health
facilities, including the
Siskiyo u Communit y
Health Center and the I.V.
Medical Center. It helped
the people of Kerby estab-
lish a water district to pro-
vide safe and plentiful
drinking water, and con-
tinue to assist them.
*In 1996, it began
helping with construction
of the I.V. Family Coali-
tion site, a vital valley re-
source. It contributed
$52,000 to I.V. Boys and
Girls Club’s fund-raising,
which netted $878,000. It
helped establish the I.V.
Safe House Alliance, so
women in crisis could re-
ceive help for themselves
and their children. It also
funded other programs to
help youth such as Project
Respect and the Cave
Junction skate park.
IVCRT’s new engine
for economic and social
progress is social ventures.
The Oregon Caves Outfit-
ters (OCO) is its first ven-
ture, providing jobs, keep-
ing the profits in the com-
munity, and putting them
back into investments at
the Oregon Caves Chateau
complex, as well as fund-
ing community develop-
ment grants and other op-
portunity investments such
as its planned business
incubator.
OCO will be a catalyst
for the growth of local
businesses by providing a
reliable market for prod-
ucts such as food, bever-
ages, souvenirs, and arts
and crafts, said IVCRT.
IVCRT has served as
the valley’s advocate, a
community forum for the
various dialogues needed;
a place for people to work
together to develop strate-
gic plans for the valley and
volunteer for community
projects; and as a govern-
ing body small enough to
be responsive to I.V.
needs, but big enough to
take on some large jobs.
During the past two
years, its SSBG grant has
been running out, and it
had to concentrate on sus-
taining itself.
It still has been able to
provide development
grants of up to $500 for
areas including I.V. wres-
tling, a youth marimba
band, the I.V. historical
pageant, airport develop-
ment, Rough & Ready
Lumber Co. workers, and
Little League.
Students urged to undergo
sports physicals right away
Those who haven’t
had a sports physical in
more than a year might
miss the first few practices
unless they get a sports
physical now.
So said Siskiyou Com-
munity Health Center
Lorna Byrne Middle
School-Based Health Cen-
ter in Cave Junction.
Daily doubles will
start in August. “Many
people wait for the first
day of practice, then real-
ize they can’t participate
until they have their physi-
cal,” said the center.
Sports physicals at the
LBMS Student Health
Center cost $10 and are
available Mondays, Tues-
days and Wednesdays until
the end of the school year.
“Drop by or phone
592-6978 for your appoint-
ment,” said Carol Meyers
of the center.
“We’ll need your in-
surance card and immuni-
zation record,” she said.
“Students under age 15
must be accompanied by a
parent, legal guardian or
have a written consent
form on file,” Meyers said.

The Oregon State Ma-
rine Board approved more
than $1 million in grant
requests for recreational
boating access projects,
including $10,000 desig-
nated for six boating facili-
ties in Josephine County,
during a regular board
meeting in Gold Beach.
Improvements will be
made at Pierce Riffle,
Lathrop, Whitehorse, Ferry
Hole, Robertson Bridge,
and Hog Creek and Ennis
Riffle facilities.
Crews will stripe the
boat trailer parking areas,
designate ADA stalls, and
rebuild pedestrian access
to the ramp, restroom and
parking areas.
State projects range
from a $7,687 grant for
boarding floats at Ochoco
Lake in Crook County to a
$111,500 grant for a boat
ramp improvement at Wal-
lowa Lake in Wallowa
County.
Funds for the grants
come from boat title and
registration fees and mo-
torboat fuel tax revenues.
The board has now ap-
proved nearly $5.3 million
in grants since June 2003.
This compares to $3.4
million spent during the
entire 2001-2003 bien-
nium. The increase in fa-
cility grants affects addi-
tional fees paid by boaters
to register and title boats
beginning in 2004.
Port of Brookings Har-
bor will build a new
shower and restroom with
funds approved by the
board. The current facility
is more than 40 years old.
The new facility will be
built adjacent to Basin II
which accommodates rec-
reational boaters as well as
some commercial fishing
boats.
Overall project cost is
$111,500, with Port of
Brookings Harbor to pro-
vide $55,750 cash match.
