Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, September 29, 2004 Page 9 ‘Forks’ gets pavilion using ‘the valley way’ In what has become more and more “the valley way,” a pavilion was erected in Illinois River “Forks” State Park on Sat- urday, Sept. 25. “The valley way” represents getting a job accomplished to benefit the community through use of volunteer labor and ex- pertise, along with grants and donations. It’s becoming wide- spread, and is indicative of the valley’s grass-roots “can-do” attitude. Such is the case with the $24,000 pavilion kit assembled on Saturday by a hearty band of volun- teers. They spent several hours on the job. “The pavilion is part of the park master plan,” said coordinator Kenny Houck, former chairman of I.V. Community Response Team (IVCRT), who still is a member of the board. He noted that Oregon State Parks funding dried up a couple of years ago. But, he added that in a “fall-back effort,” IVCRT went for a grant, and with volunteer help from indi- viduals and organizations, the pavilion is a reality. The brown metal structure with a green roof is a 36-foot-diameter octa- gon, 15 feet tall at the cen- ter. Its concrete footings are 4 1/2 feet square and 2 1/2 feet deep, with more than a yard of concrete in each footing. The pavilion is de- signed for many uses. State parks hopes to be able to add electricity next year, and there is a plan by vol- unteers to come up with another $5,000 to add a concrete floor by spring. Overall, without the floor, the project is valued at approximately $28,000. Houck said that I.V. Building Supply obtained the kit and stored it. “It’s like putting together an Erector set,” said Houck. The kit is from Classic Recreation Systems in Dewey, Ariz. As an example of how valley organizations work together, the lunch for workers Saturday was ob- tained through the efforts of Otter Creek Transporta- tion, which also delivered the food. In addition, said Houck, recognition should go to the following: Meidinger Concrete, IVCRT, Oregon State Parks, and the various vol- unteers including an anonymous general con- tractor and an electrician. “This pavilion,” he said, “is another terrific example of good partner- ship benefiting the valley.” Wiseman Gallery shows Perry “Split Screen,” a col- lection of paintings by art- ist Vicky Perry, will be displayed through Oct. 30 at the Rogue Community College Wiseman Gallery. Work by local artist Anita Stafford will also be exhibited up to Oct. 15 in the gallery’s annex area. The RCC Wiseman Gallery is on the Redwood Campus, 3345 Redwood Hwy., west of Grants Pass on Hwy. 199. The gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mon- days through Thursdays; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays; and 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays.

Both drivers were transported by American Medical Response to Three Rivers Community Hospital for evaluation. (Photos by Dale and Elaine Sandberg/IVFD photographers) New deadlines set for unclaimed property filing Business owners, of- fice managers and account- ants: Is your organization or client preparing to file an unclaimed property re- port to the state and plan- ning to make the accompa- nying payment in October? The Dept. of State Lands (DSL) said that re- ports of unclaimed prop- erty and accompanying payment must be sent be- tween Oct. 1 and Nov. 1. Pamela Klecker, DSL reports coordinator, said, “We will not assess penal- ties or interest for anyone voluntarily reporting for the first time. And we have many tools available to help people file reports.” State law requires businesses or organizations to search for the owner of unclaimed property worth more than $100, according to Klecker. The 2003 Legislature shortened the length of time that holders must re- tain some types of un- claimed property. Effective Januar y 2004, the action shortened the holding period for property being held in a fiduciary capacity and IRAs from five to two years; and property from a business dissolution from two years to one year. Those reporting prop- erty affected by the new dormancy periods need to begin to do so under the new requirements, accord- ing to Klecker. Once money or prop- erty is reported to the state as unclaimed, DSL makes an effort to locate the miss- ing owners and reunite them with their lost assets. With a few exceptions, there is no cost to the owner. If the agency can’t find the owner, unclaimed proceeds are held in the Common School Fund (CSF) for claim by the owner or heir forever. The CSF benefits Ore- gon’s K-12 public schools by distributing earnings and revenues from various sources to counties for schools twice a year.
