Caroline Miller ‘Rick’ Willis Former Illinois Valley resident Richard “Rick” Allan Willis, 75, of Harbor in Curry County, died Oct. 5, 2004 in a hospital. A memorial service was held Saturday, Oct. 9 at Church of the Nazarene in Brookings. Mr. Willis was born Aug. 10, 1929 in Engle- wood, Colo. The family moved to Los Angeles, and after his father died, his mother remarried and the family moved to Selma. He attended the former Kerby Union High School. He joined the U.S. Navy SeaBees and served four years before being honorably discharged. Mr. Willis worked in heavy equipment and tim- ber before moving to Brookings in 1954. Be- sides working for an auto parts store, he ran the pro- jector at the drive-in movie theaters in Brookings and Cave Junction. He and his first wife, Roberta May “Bobbi” had a child, Linda; and later divorced. In 1962 he mar- ried Kathleen Moore in Merrill, Ore. They had two daughters, Lesli and Gina. Mrs. Moore died in 1994. Mr. Willis met Mera- lyn Ard in 1997, and they married on Dec. 13, 2000 in Eureka, Calif. In his younger years he was a drag-racer.

St. Patrick of the Forest Catholic Church “Persistence” will be the theme on the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time. In Exodus, Joshua won the battle against Amalek and his people, as long as Moses, who was on a hill, kept his hands raised. In 2 Timothy, Paul said, “I charge you … to be persis- tent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.” Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Leprosy. A much-feared disease in Biblical times. So when Jesus cured 10 lepers, it was a miracle. But only one returned, praising God loudly. This should be an example. The calendar includes Sunday, Oct. 17, 9 a.m. wor- ship; 10:15 a.m. Sunday School for adults and chil- dren. Selma resident Caro- line Burturs Miller, 68, died Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2004 at home.

She mar- ried John E. Mitchell in Vancouver, Wash. in 1944. He died in 1992. She lived in the Cave Junction area 15 to 20 years before moving to Grants Pass; then relocated to Cottage Grove 14 years ago. She was a home- maker, who enjoyed play- ing cards other games of chance. She is survived by six sons, Marvin Mitchell, Alvin Mitchell and Tom Mitchell, all of Grants Pass, Tony Mitchell, of Yreka, Calif., Robert Mitchell, of Cottage Grove, and Bill Mitchell, of Bend, Ore.; five daugh- ters, Louise Kienel and Lila Faulkner, both of Myrtle Creek, Ore., Cheryl Johnson, Tigard, Ore., Evelyn Gilmore, Creswell, Ore., and Stephanie Ame- lung, of Rice Hill, Ore.; and 28 grandchildren. Arrangements were handled by Smith-Lund- Mills. For the first time, all smokers who phone Ore- gon’s tobacco Quit Line will be offered free nico- tine replacement patches to help them quit smoking. Public health officials in the Oregon Dept. of Hu- man Services (DHS) made the announcement. Two weeks worth of patches, shown to increase success in quitting to- bacco, will be provided while supplies last. “Nicotine replacement therapy, such as patches, greatly increases the prob- ability that a smoker or chewer will successfully quit,” said Dr. Mel Kohn, DHS epidemiologist. “The tobacco industry makes sure there is enough nicotine in every cigarette to keep smokers hooked,” Kohn said. “Patches gradu- ally reduce the amount of nicotine in the bloodstream during a six- to eight- week treatment period. This gradual approach really helps people suc- cessfully quit.” Kohn continued, “Tobacco use costs Orego- nians approximately $1.8 billion a year in direct costs of medical care and indirect costs due to early death and disability.” Oregonian tobacco users interested in receiv- ing free patches should phone the toll-free Oregon Tobacco Quit Line at (877) 270-STOP (7867) or (877) 266-NO FUME (3863). ‘Third Bridge’ to be named after D. Potts A request to name the Grants Pass Parkway Bridge in Grants Pass in honor of Eugene “Debbs” Potts has been approved by the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC). Known locally as “Third Bridge,” the Hwy. 199 structure spans the Rogue River. Potts served Oregon 45 years, said OTC, in- cluding his work as chair- man of the Oregon Lottery Commission, and a term as Grants Pass mayor. He served five terms as a state senator from Jo- sephine County, including three as Senate president. The Josephine County Historical Society made the formal request to name the bridge in honor of Potts. The society has scheduled Dec. 10, which is Potts’ birthdate, for a dedication ceremony, which many will attend. OTC made an excep- tion to its policy of not naming highway facilities after individuals because Potts made a lasting, state- wide contribution with a significant historical effect during his 45 years of pub- lic service, OTC said.
