(Photos by Dale & Elaine Sandberg/IVFD photographers) A 1952 ALLARD RACED AT LE MANS underwent some work at Blakeley’s Automotive in Kerby last week, and Ken Cowell (above) worked on it with Mike Blakeley. The vehicle, owned by Kerby resident Bill Pfohl, was pur- chased by his late father, Paul. In the 1952 race, the Allard did not finish because of a blown engine, but at one point was in sixth position. Paul Pfohl raced the vehicle in sev- eral sprints, which he won. Bill said that the car, although not handling well, went fast in a straight line, having been clocked at 153 mph at Le Mans. The Allard originally had Loaned vehicle = stolen vehicle in some cases OLCC ‘scarlet letter?’ Restaurants, markets and bars that have their li- cense suspended for liquor law violations may soon be required to go public with the information, under a proposed rule (OAR 845- 006-0498) introduced re- cently by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. The rule would require signs to be posted at premise entrances to notify custom- ers, alcohol distributors, law officers and others that the business is not selling alco- hol, and the date that sales will resume. An advisory committee meeting will be held Feb. 10 on the rule proposal, fol- lowed by a public hearing March 21, both at the OLCC offices, 907 9 S.W. McLoughlin Blvd., Port- land. “This new rule will give needed notice to various parties about the status of the liquor license,” said Kate Hilton, OLCC rules coordi- nator. “Distributors will know if and when it is legal to deliver alcohol, OLCC staff and police will imme- diately know the status of a license and be able to check for compliance, and the pub- lic will know the status of a license and be able to check for compliance, and the pub- lic will know if alcohol is available for sale at the loca- tion.” During a suspension, retailers may operate their business provided there is no sale, delivery, service, consumption, removal or receipt of alcoholic bever- ages. Also, alcohol may not be served during banquets or other temporary events and minor posting signs will remain in effect during the suspension. Loaning cars without taking precautions can back- fire, notes Cave Junction Dep- uty Cory Krauss, of Jose- phine County Sheriff’s Office. He also noted that peo- ple need to lock their vehi- cles and not leave keys in them. Leaving valuable items in plain view or for extended periods of time also is not a good idea, Krauss stated. “Do not loan your vehi- cle to people even if they tell you that they only need to go to the store,” he said. “We take numerous reports every year from Good Samaritans who loan their vehicles to someone who only ‘needs it to go to the store or for a day.’ “If you loan your vehi- cle to someone,” Krauss added, “make sure that you write down the person’s full name, date of birth and driver’s license number. Make sure that you look at the person’s license. “You can be held re- sponsible for allowing an unlicensed driver to operate your motor vehicle,” Krauss concluded. CJ crime shows slight rise Criminal incidents in the city of Cave Junction rose slightly during January following a decrease during December. The information was provided the Cave Junction City Council for its meeting Monday night, Feb. 13. City Deputy Cory Krauss and Cpl. Sean Rarey attended the meeting in city hall. Thee were 210 calls and incidents during January, Krauss reported. Assaults, burglaries and thefts rose significantly, he said. Statis- tics include: Seven alarms, 17 ar- rests, one assault, four inci- dents of criminal mischief, and 44 written reports. Also, 41 contacts under Commu- nity Oriented Policing. There were five distur- bances, one shoplifting case, three reported stolen vehi- cles (the same as during De- cember), and 20 traffic stops. a Chrysler hemi engine and now has a Cadillac engine after having been worked on by Andy Granatelli. Blake- ley’s rebuilt the carburetor, relined the fuel tank, did some brake work, and installed new kingpins taken from a 1952 Ford pickup truck. At the time of its big race, the car sported the first in-car radio communication with its pit crew during the race. Bill Pfohl plans on enjoying his his- toric car with some light races. He added that the car served as the forerunner to the Shelby Cobra.
