The price for the calendar days is only $4 for three lines, and $1.50 for each additional line. Prices of the remaining border ads can be obtained from Nina Holm at 592-2541.

LAST WORDS - My choice early in life was to be a piano-player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference. (President Harry S. Truman) Support the merchants who advertise in the ‘I.V. News’ The Oregon Senate voted 19-10 Friday, July 8 to ap- prove SB 1000, which would establish civil unions for same-sex couples.

Driver cited following accident in O’Brien Cave Junction resident Mary Lou Kastens, 57, was cited on a charge of driving under the influence of in- toxicants following a single- vehicle crash in O’Brien, said Josephine County Sher- iff’s Office (JCSO). The crash was reported at approximately 5:43 p.m. Wednesday, July 6 on Lone Mt. Road near Naue Way. Kastens and her passen- ger, Kevin J. Christiansen, 45, were taken by American Medical Response to Three Rivers Community Hospi- tal. They were examined for complaints including a pos- sible broken ankle and chest pain. The pickup truck in which they were riding went off the road, said Illinois Valley Fire District (IVFD), and struck an embankment, approximately 6 inches short of a tree. IVFD added that if the pickup had left the road some 15 feet earlier, it’s likely that the vehicle would have rolled. As it was, the pickup was tilted to the pas- senger side with the left-rear tire in the air, said IVFD. Want something fun to do, kids?

I ask the world leaders, and shame on each and everyone of them in this regard, what kind of change is in their pockets? To those unaware of the atrocities of which I speak, I urge a look at the movies, “Tears of the Sun,” and “Hotel Rwanda.” A strong stom- ach is advised. There are also web sites (from what I understand), one being Amnesty Interna- tional.org. I’m sure that clicking on Sudan, Af- rica, Rwanda or genocide will probably show the heart-wrenching statistics o f th e mo d e r n - d a y slaughtering of humanity. Anyone claiming any religious affiliation in- volving a loving, forgiv- ing God should be moti- vated to speak out against this horror. Anyone not claiming any affiliation to religious ideologies, but are loving, caring human beings of any degree, should if possible, speak out against this turning of the back on our brothers and sisters, many of whom will have been murdered by the time this letter will be read. I have no idea how to stop this continuing mis- ery other than to make people aware of it, and perhaps by encouraging our state representatives to also speak out. Does U.N. stand for Useless Nations? Is the human species a liar unto itself, reduced to nothing more than a bunch of over-dressed monkeys? I think -- well, I would surely like to think not. Is genocide, suicide? I believe so. • Share photos • Shop online • Keep up with the latest weather FRONTIER HIGH-SPEED INTERNET ONLY 24 $ 95 / MO.
