Kerbyville signs offering
banners for all reasons
“Signs of the times” --
including banners -- are
available from a new busi-
ness, Kerbyville Signs.
Run by Kim and Larry
Warnicke, the business is
located with their other en-
terprise, Redwood Automo-
tive, at 23772 Redwood
Hwy. (formerly Jim’s OK
Tire). The telephone number
is 592-2245.
Hours are 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. Mondays through Fri-
days; 9 a.m. to noon Satur-
days.
“We can make any size
sign or banner, big or little,
in color if desired,” said
Kim. “We can come to cus-
tomers, or they can visit us
here.”
Kerbyville Signs is re-
sponsible for the signs at
Crystal Kaleidoscope in
Selma, and worked on the
banners for the Bluegrass
Festival sponsored by Illi-
nois Valley Chamber of
Commerce.
The business also has
completed a number of as-
signments for valley custom-
ers, such as the window let-
tering for EcoWater in Cave
Junction, and the door letter-
ing at Taylor’s Country
Store, both in Cave Junction.
Plus, they’ve worked
with or are dealing with busi-
nesses including Shop Smart
Food Warehouse, Junction
Realty, Palmer Realty, and
Wild River Brewing & Pizza
Co., Kim said.
Illustrations are avail-
able, and estimates are free.
Besides signs and ban-
ners, the business does let-
tering on vehicles ranging
from cars and RVs to big
rigs, plus boats, or what
have you. “We do any kind
of lettering, and we can in-
corporate logos,” said Kim.
Kerbyville Signs, she
noted, exclusively uses top-
grade vinyl and other sup-
plies for long-lasting prod-
ucts. They also can create
metal signs, magnetic signs,
sandwich boards: “whatever
people want,” said Kim.
A tremendous variety of
lettering and art are avail-
able from Kerbyville Signs.
Kim uses a wide range of
computer programs, and
encourages customers to
discuss their needs.
OLCC trains bartenders
Anyone who sells,
serves or mixes a drink at
licensed liquor establish-
ment in Oregon is required
to have an alcohol service
permit.
Approximately 108,000
Oregonians have them, said
Oregon Liquor Control
Commission (OLCC).
During 2004, 24,876
persons took OLCC’s man-
datory alcohol server educa-
tion (ASE) class to acquire
their service permits. Most
receive the course in Eng-
lish, but 536 students were
taught in Spanish, and 117
in Chinese (Mandarin or
Cantonese).
Here are some of the
main subjects of the course:
*The effects of alcohol
on the body and behavior,
including the interaction of
alcohol with other drugs.
*Oregon’s alcohol sale
and service laws, including
statutes on driving while
intoxicated.
*Intervention tech-
niques for dealing with in-
toxicated and underage cus-
tomers.
*Responsible advertis-
ing, marketing and manage-
ment procedures.
Because underage
drinking and over-service of
alcohol is a big concern in
Oregon, OLCC has been
steadily improving its server
education program. Class-
room activities have been
added to build servers’ inter-
vention skills, with course
content focusing on the re-
sponsible alcohol service.
“We write and update
the model curriculum in
Spanish, English and tradi-
tional Chinese,” said OLCC.
There are 36 server edu-
cation instructors offering
classes around Oregon each
week. The 4 1/2-hour class
costs approximately $25-
$35. A service permit is $23
and is good for five years.
The minimum age to apply
is 18.
Nearly 2,000 persons
took a separate class to re-
new their service permits,
either from an instructor or
via CD-Rom.

Why, why, why?
Why do we press harder
on a remote control when
we know the batteries are
getting weak?
Why do banks charge a
fee on “insufficient funds”
when they know there is not
enough money in the ac-
count already,
Why does someone
believe you when you say
that there are four billion
stars in the sky, but check
when you say the paint is
wet?
Why doesn’t glue stick
to the bottle?
Why do they use steril-
ized needles for death by
lethal injection?
Why doesn't Tarzan
have a beard?
Why does Superman
stop bullets with his chest,
but he ducks when you
throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pi-
lots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to
put an “S” in the word
“lisp”?
If people evolved from
apes, why are there still
apes?
Why is it that no matter
what color bubble bath you
use the bubbles are always
white?
Is there ever a day that
mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people con-
stantly return to the refrig-
erator with hopes that some-
thing new to eat will have
materialized?
Why do people keep
running over a string a
dozen times with their vac-
uum cleaner, then reach
down, pick it up, examine it,
then put it down to give the
vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic
bag will open from the end
on your first try?
How do those dead
bugs get into those enclosed
light fixtures?
When we are in a super-
market and someone rams
our ankle with a shopping
cart then apologizes for do-
ing so, why do we say, “It's
all right?” Why don’t we
say,
“That
hurt,
you stupid idiot?”
Why is it that whenever
you attempt to catch some-
thing that’s falling off a ta-
ble you always manage to
knock over something else?
In winter why do we try
to keep houses as warm as it
was in summer when we
complained about the heat?
How come you never
hear father-in-law jokes?
The statistics on sanity
are that one out of every
four persons is suffering
from some sort of mental
illness. Think of your three
best friends -- if they're OK,
then it’s you.
