HEALTH WEALTH - Free preventive health screen- ing will be provided Saturday, June 25 during the seventh annual Classic & Antique Car Show in Jubilee Park. The Cave Junction Lions Club, show sponsor, has worked for two years to get the Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foun- dation mobile health screening unit to visit at the same time. The free screening will encompass visual acuity, hearing, blood pressure, glaucoma, and diabetes for adults, and minors with written parental permission. All five screenings usually can be provided in less than 20 minutes. The diabetes screening requires that the person not eat or drink anything other than water or black coffee for at least three hours prior. CJ Lions Club wants to be sure the community knows that this year’s show is a two-day affair. Friday, June 24, will feature a poker run for all comers, plus a barbecue lunch; and a barbecue dinner followed by a dance with live music, all at Jubilee Park. (Check the ad in this issue.) JESSI COLTER COMING - Country music star Jessi Colter, widow of Waylon Jennings, is coming to Illi- nois Valley to perform Sept. 5 during the Illinois Valley Lions Club Festival in Jubilee Park. She’s known for such hits as, “I’m Not Lisa,” “Suspicious Minds,” and “I’m Looking for Blue Eyes.” There will not be an admission charge. Her appearance is due to the fact that I.V. resident Wayne Whitfield is a cousin of Jennings, and knew him for many years. SARA McDONALD GONE - Sara McDonald, ex- ecutive director for the Josephine County Commission on Children & Families, left the job Tuesday, June 7, said the JoCo Board of Commissioners. She has accepted a position as senior policy adviser to the Marion County Board of Commissioners in Salem. “Sara has put her heart and soul into helping needy children and families in our county, and she will be sorely missed,” said the JoCo board. “We wish her well in her new position. Our tremen- dous loss is Marion County’s gain,” the board added. The Commission on Children & Families will remain active, and Janet Bell will be available to address questions or con- cerns.

Junction Ave. A MEMORIAL TO THE UNBORN was dedicated Mon- day evening, June 6, at the Pregnancy Center of the Illinois Valley. Participants included Charles Bridges, who offered an opening prayer and blessing, and other members of the Pregnancy Center Board of Directors. Mothers with unborn children can place a memorial stone at the location. The center offers a counseling and healing service for mothers who have experienced abortions, stillbirths or miscarriages. Bridges cited Joshua 4:4-7 as part of the ceremony in memory of the children. It was noted that many women experience the loss of children prior to birth, and that the center can help provide closure. Legislation to protect children from sexual preda- tors by making it a crime for known sexual offenders to be in a location where chil- dren congregate was passed by the Oregon House Fri- day, June 3. House Speaker Karen Minnis said that House Bill 3469 establishes two new Class C felony crimes. They affect sexually dangerous offenders, predator sexual offenders, and sentenced dangerous offenders upon conviction of a sex crime in Oregon or another jurisdic- tion. The first crime, said Minnis, is unlawfully being in a location where children regularly congregate. The second crime is unlawful contact with a child. A Class C felony is punishable by a maximum fine of up to five years in prison, and a maximum fine of up to $100,000. The new crimes would apply to of- fenses committed on or after Jan. 1, 2006.
