Page 3 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, July 7, 2004 TOYOTA PLUNDER - Apparently someone with a master set of keys is stealing Toyota pickup trucks in the 1981 to ‘86 category. At least four Toy- ota pickups have been reported stolen in the area dur- ing the past several days. They were taken from Kerby, Cave Junction, and Selma. One, belonging to Colene Talley, was taken at 12:30 in the afternoon from the rear of her Bear Images Boutique. The Kerby theft involved a pickup that was for sale, owned by Cody and Christina Hill. Indications are that the rigs will be found eventu- ally stripped for parts. Although the vehicles are in- sured, they, in most cases, are covered for liability only. One of the victims has a suspect in mind, and was going to do some checking.

LAST WORDS - I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision. (Eleanor Roosevelt) (Continued from page 2) tated by Greenpeace’s website asking the faithful to start churning them out. Web quotes From Lou Chauvin Takilma For consideration; from the worldwide Inter- net: “The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.” - Thomas Jefferson. “In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the govern- ments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always perni- cious even when success- ful.” - Tolstoy. “Governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deducted from it.” - Hebbel (German poet and playwright). “The biggest lesson I learned from Vietnam is not to trust (our own) gov- ernment statements. I had no idea until then that you could not rely on (them).” - James Fullbright (U.S. senator). “In order to rally peo- ple, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will in- vent one in order to mobi- lize us.” - Thich Nhat Hanh (Vietnamese Bud- dhist monk). EIGHT DOLLAR ‘EAGLE’ - Led by Scoutmaster Pat Fahey, members of Grants Pass American Legion Boy Scout Troop 23 work on Eight Dollar Road to install a pole fence to keep vehicles off a swamp area as part of Shane Smith’s Eagle project. Prop value date slated If property was dam- aged or destroyed between Jan. 1 and July 1, owners can apply to the Josephine County assessor to have the real market and as- sessed value determined as of July 1. Normally, property tax is based on the value of the property as it existed on Jan. 1, the assessment date. Application must be made by Aug. 1 to apply the July 1 valuation date. However, if property has been repaired, it may not be in the owner’s best interest to choose the July 1 assessment date, said the assessor’s office. Applications are avail- able at the assessor’s office in Grants Pass. For more information phone (541) 474-5260.

My husband was a member of the Lions Club, and in the early ‘60s, some agreements were still being made on a man’s word and the shake of a hand. The agreement on the park between the city and the Lions Club was a per- petual lifetime agreement.
