Flu vaccine
available to
select few
A limited amount of
flu vaccine has been ob-
tained and will be adminis-
tered to certain high-risk
individuals, said Josephine
County Public Health
Dept. (JCPHD).
Preregistration is re-
quired, said JCPHD.
Flu vaccine does not
prevent influenza, but can
lessen the chances of con-
tracting it.
A flu clinic will be
held, and it will be re-
vealed to those who qual-
ify for the immunization.
The following high-risk
groups can qualify:
*Children 6 to 23
months.
*Adults 65 and older.
*Those 2 to 64 with
chronic illnesses such as
heart, lung or kidney dis-
ease, asthma, or metabolic
ailments such as diabetes,
anemia and other blood
disorders.
*Women who will be
pregnant during the influ-
enza season.
*Residents of assisted
living or long-term care
facilities.
*Children 2 to 18 who
are on long-term aspirin
therapy.
*Health-care workers
with direct-care responsi-
bilities.
*Care-providers for
children younger than 6
months.
Required preregistra-
tion will be conducted un-
til Friday, Nov. 5 between
9 and 11 a.m., and 1 to 3
p.m. in Room 100 at the
health department office,
714 N.W. “A” St. in
Grants Pass.
In order to undergo the
mandatory preregistration,
persons must bring the fol-
lowing insurance data:
*Those with Medicare
must bring their Medicare
claim identification (a red,
white and blue card).
*Those under the Ore-
gon Health Plan (OHP)
must bring their current
OHP identification sheet.
*Those who have Blue
Cross must bring their
Blue Cross of Oregon in-
surance card.
*Those without any of
the preceding insurance
plans are not required to
bring any information for
preregistration, but they
will have to pay $20 by
cash or check when they
attend the flu clinic, which
will be announced.

Art shows set
CJ SOFCU upgrading, expansion on drawing board
Plans to redesign and
expand the Illinois Valley
branch of Southern Oregon
Federal Credit Union
(SOFCU) in Cave Junction
are on the drawing board.
Branch Manager Vicki
Gill and Peggy Mull,
SOFCU executive vice
president, have been work-
ing with contractor Virgil
Jines to provide a large,
more efficient space.
The remodel, designed
by Doug Kendall, “has
been driven by the comfort
and convenience of the
members,” said Mull.
The design includes a
drive-up teller for extended
“personal service” hours.
Through the existing
ATM, the credit union will
continue to provide service
“for 24/7 access for depos-
its, withdrawals and in-
quiries.”
Inside, the completed
office will include a mem-
ber area with Internet ac-
cess, Home Banking Ser-
vice, and Kelley Blue
Book.
In addition, “Little
ones will find their own
space, complete with a
uniquely decorated area
and technology for the
young.”
Membership
in
SOFCU is open to all resi-
dents and employees in the
area.
SOFCU has served
Illinois Valley for nearly
31 years from its location
at 103 S. Redwood Hwy.,
across from the Josephine
County Bldg. at Redwood
Hwy. and Lister Street.
It owns the entire
building, which up until
recently include an insur-
ance agency.
“Connections: A Cele-
bration of Fiber Arts” will be
displayed at RCC’s Fire-
House Gallery through Nov.
24. It’s a traveling exhibit
sponsored by the Weaving
Guilds of Oregon, and is
comprised of work by 27
Oregon artists.
The FireHouse Gallery is
in the Historic City Hall at
Fourth and “H” streets in
Grants Pass. It is open from
11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tues-
days through Fridays; and 10
a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.
At RCC’s Wiseman Gal-
lery on the Redwood Cam-
pus, approximately 5 miles
west of Grants Pass, there
will be an exhibit of cast
metal sculpture from Nov. 8
through Dec. 10.
The sculptures are by
students at Humboldt State
College in Eureka/Arcata.
The gallery is open from
8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays
through Thursdays, and to 5
p.m. Fridays; and 9 a.m. to
noon Saturdays.
Public asked to help ID dead woman
Found dead 33 years
ago near the Oregon-
California border in Illi-
nois Valley, the remains of
a woman have yet to be
identified.
But, said Det. Sgt. Ken
Selig, of Josephine County
Sheriff’s Office (JCSO), a
forensic criminologist has
come up with a clay recon-
struction of the victim’s
face and head, and it’s
hoped that someone will
be able to identify her.
The victim is de-
scribed as a white female,
19 to 20 years old, ap-
proximately 5-5 and 125
pounds, with shoulder-
length auburn-colored hair
with blond highlights. She
had crooked teeth with
evidence of extensive prior
dental work.
She was wearing a
checkered pink-and-beige
double-breasted waist-
length coat, a tan turtle-
neck long-sleeved shirt,
blue jeans and brown
shoes.
“We are asking the
public for help,” said
Selig, “so that not only can
she be identified, but so
that her family could be
notified.”
The forensic crimi-
nologist, Joyce Nagy, “has
affectionately named the
unidentified woman
“Anne.” Nagy works at the
‘ANNE’
Clackamas County Sher-
iff’s office forensic labora-
tory in Oregon City.
Besides a clay facial
reconstruction, she has
matched the victim’s hair
and type of clothing, based
on what the woman was
wearing.
All she had on her per-
son was 38-cents and a
map of Northern California
recreation areas when
found by a father and his
son in a wooded area near
milepost 35 near O’Brien,
not far off Redwood Hwy.
Efforts to identify her
have proved fruitless. The
cause of death was not pro-
vided. At the time, JCSO
officers communicated
with other agencies up and
down the West Coast, but
no leads emerged.
The case grew cold,
and the remains of the
woman have been in the
sheriff’s office evidence
warehouse since then.
Those with informa-
tion can phone the JCSO’s
Major Crimes Unit at
(541) 474-5153; or the
confidential tip line at
(541) 474-5160.
Go confidently in the
direction of your
dreams. Live the life you
have imagined.
