BLAST ZAP - Oregon State Police bomb squad per-
sonnel, working with military personnel trained in the
same area, recently have removed old artillery shells from
private property in various Beaver State locales. Noted
OSP: Any explosive can be dangerous. Even something
as seemingly harmless as a Fourth of July-type firework,
when handled improperly, can cause serious injury or
death. It is not uncommon for home owners to contact law
enforcement to report that they have found dynamite,
blasting caps, old rifle or pistol rounds, or what they be-
lieve may be unexploded military ordnance on their prop-
erty in a shed or barn and even in or around their home.
These items can be very dangerous, especially in a de-
cayed state, and should only be handled by specially
trained professionals. Should one come across items they
believe to be explosives, they should not handle them;
stay a safe distance away; and phone their local law en-
forcement agency.
NOTEPAD - “A Musical Tour of the British Isles”
will be presented Sunday, March 19 beginning at 3 p.m.

Rogue Bldg. at the Grants Pass campus. A free-will do-

Medicare prescription drug coverage benefits is the
topic for a free workshop for senior citizens in Medford
on Thursday, March 23 at the Reston Hotel, 2250 Biddle
Road, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. followed by counseling and
info booths until noon, said U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-
Ore.) … For St. Patrick’s Day on Friday, March 17, a
trio of jokes from none other than Bill Reid, of Oregon
Mt. Real Estate: *Why do the Irish wear shamrocks?
Because real rocks are too heavy. *What do the Irish call
their outdoor table and chairs? Patty O’Furniture. *What
do you get when you cross a shamrock with poison oak?
A rash of Irish luck. And here’s one from the editor:
Two Irish lasses were talking, and one said, “I’m going
to wed soon.” The other said, “Oh really?” And the first
one replied, “No, O’Reilly.” … BLM reports that 27
wild horses were adopted during the Feb. 24-25 auction
in GP ... Food for Oregon, an online data base to locate
food resources, has been launched by Oregon State Uni-
versity Extension Service and Oregon Food Bank. The
site includes community gardens, farmers markets, com-
munity kitchens and gleaning groups. The Website:
http://foodfororegon.oregonstate.edu … I.V. Chamber
of Commerce recently added four new members: The
Shining Stars, Southern Oregon Financial Services, Har-
mony Garden, and Selma Community Center.
LAST WORDS - I have gradually learned that
views that appear to me intellectually ridiculous are not
therefore to be mocked. (Theodore Dalrymple)
Despite that loss, I.V.’s
Emily Dudley produced a
stupendous effort. She
scored 26 points, and was
good for four assists and
five steals.
Seventh-ranked I.V.
was leading 25-21 at inter-
mission, thanks to Dudley’s
scoring 20 points during the
first 12 minutes.
Also for the Cougars,
Erika Riley turned in 10
points, including 2 at the
final buzzer, and nabbed
four steals.
Fifth-ranked Marist is
the Sky-Em champ, and
after beating I.V. had a 24-4
record.
Against the Hilanders,
with its starters at least 5-10,
the Cougars were hard-
pressed. Burns pushed I.V.
into 22 turnovers by the
half, and was leading 31-10.
Additionally, the Hi-
landers, undefeated in their
league play, set a tourney
record of 27 steals.
Dudley led the Cougs
with 13 points before foul-
ing out. She also notched
four rebounds and five
steals.
Sarah Houston ac-
counted for 8 points. Sheena
Cole scored 5.

I really don’t want folks
thinking that citizens of
Cave Junction celebrate that
obnoxious, choking weed,
the “blackberry.” That ban-
ner should also be banned.
Perhaps a better banner
to hang across our main
street should read something
like this: “Welcome to Cave
Junction! Meth and Pot
Capital of Southern Ore-
gon.”
ODOT road plan
affects fairgrounds
From Edith Martin
Cave Junction
We need to save our
Josephine County Fair-
grounds. If the frontage
road becomes a reality we
will lose the Ag. Bldg. with
the 4-H, the Craft Bldg.,
the midway, part of the
race track and part of the
Floral Bldg.
The fairgrounds are
self-supporting; one of the
only ones in Oregon that can
say that. A petition has been
circulating asking ODOT to
find another route.
Many people I have
talked to think that Josephine
County will build a new one,
and that is not true. Where
do they think the county will
get the money? Where
would it be able to afford
land at the current prices?
No, if the fairgrounds
are closed we will see more
houses, bringing more traffic
to an already-congested area.
The fairgrounds are a unique
part of our area and give our
county a country flavor.
By eliminating the fair-
grounds, we will become just
another mundane area.
