Page 16 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, September 21, 2005 Lefi Tausaga and Danny Barquera pursue a Bulldog in another I.V. victory. The IVHS cheerleaders presented the flag for the opening ceremony. (Photos by Dale Sandberg) Cougars notch 3-0 mark (Continued from page 1) for 14-0 early in the contest. Late in the second quarter, the Cougs managed a safety, or they would have gone to the locker room at the half without a score. During the remainder of the game, the teams battled back and forth, although at one point, with approxi- mately 12 minutes left, Sutherlin was ahead 22-9. Overall, the Cougars ran for 189 yards, with 140 of those in the second half. Pagnotta was at the top of the heap, carrying 19 times and earning 115 yards. Moore was good for 53 yards on 18 rushes. Current Skyline stand- ings in preseason play show Illinois Valley’s 3-0 mark leading the pack, followed by North Valley and Phoe- nix, both with 2-0 records. Hidden Valley is next with 2-1; Mazama and Rogue River are 1-2; Henley 0-2. JCSO seeks help solving string of burglaries in GP Deputies are seeking the public’s help in locating two vehicles possibly linked to a string of burglaries and thefts in the north and south areas of rural Grants Pass. One suspect, who drives a late-1990s white Jeep Wrangler with a tan soft top, is described as a white male, 30 to 35 years old, said Jose- phine County Sheriff’s Of- fice (JCSO). He is approximately 6 feet tall with a slim build and blond hair. The suspect steals trail- ers, tows them with his Jeep and uses them to transport stolen property from bur- glaries. He seems to focus on construction sites or homes for sale. He usually takes large items such as appliances, and tools or sup- plies. JCSO also is looking for a white Nissan four-door vehicle, said to be an early ’90s model in poor condi- tion. It is believed to be occu- pied by two white males and two juvenile females, one brunette; the other a bleached blonde. The men are described as 17 to 20 years old, both around 5-10 with slim builds. One has brown hair; the other blond hair. JCSO said that the sus- pects knock on the front doors of homes where it appears that the residents are gone. They remove window screens to find unlocked windows and gain entry. If the residents are home, the suspects claim that they are looking for a friend that they thought they saw earlier. Citizens who see either of these vehicles are asked to gather helpful data, such as license plate information, and further descriptions of the suspects. Information can be given via a tip line: 474-5160. JCSO added that those who have been victims of crimes matching the two methods of operation should phone Det. Edye Deubert at 474-5153. Those who believe they are observing a crime in progress should phone 911, said JCSO. “If you believe that a crime has occurred, but is not in progress, contact the appropriate agency,” said JCSO. Combined board for airports unveiled by JoCo commish Friday, Oct. 14 is the deadline to apply for what Josephine County commis- sioners are calling a newly established Airports Advi- sory Board for facilities in Illinois Valley and Merlin. The new board will re- place the Illinois Valley Air- port Advisory Board, and the Grants Pass (Merlin Air- port) Advisory Board, said the county commissioners. The new board is to be comprised of seven mem- bers, selected by commis- sioners, to serve four-year staggered terms. Two members will rep- resent the aviation interests of GP Airport, and two the same interests for I.V. One each will represent the nona- viation interests of I.V., the incorporated city of Grants Pass, and the remaining ru- ral aras of the county. Meetings will be held at least once quarterly, alter- nating between airports. The I.V. Advisory Board first learned of the plan earlier this year, and has not supported it, saying that it’s been tried before. Their opinion is that each airport had widely divergent goals and needs; and that each site needs its own board. Find answers to burning questions about Oregon’s forest fires. Fire is one of the hottest issues affecting Oregon’s forests. There have always been fires. But years of keeping fire out and lack of thinning have left many of our forests at risk for uncharacteristically intense fires — increasing the threat to habitat, homes and even air and water quality. With this risk come choices in the way we manage our forests. Careful forest management can help make our forests more fire resilient. The issue is complex, but one thing is clear: Doing nothing is a choice that is increasingly dangerous for our forests.

The Oregon Forest Resources Institute was created by the Oregon Legislature to improve understanding of forestry and to encourage sound forest management.
