Plans for Boys & Girls Club facility
near Jubilee Park supported by CJ
Esthetician Claire Sierra, owner of Deva Treetop Spa
Leafy green and serene, treetop
spa services are the ‘bliss ticket’
Wrapped in warm
blankets and towels, a
young woman luxuriated
in a gentle facial massage,
as the cozy treehouse
swayed slightly.
“It's very relaxing,”
she murmured, “It's like
rocking to sleep.”
Deva Spa owner and
Esthetician Claire
Sierra
smiled,
knowing
the
unique motion of
the elevated retreat
gives her spa a de-
lightful distinction.
Located at Out
'N' About Treesort
in Takilma is Deva
Spa -- “the first
treetop spa in the
world” -- with just
the right combina-
tion of woodsy
seclusion and atmospheric
serenity for a restful visit.
At Deva (pronounced
DAY-vah) Spa, Sierra in-
tegrates her specialized
training in skin-care and
Reiki body work, with her
experience as a Life
Coach. Deva Treetop Spa
offers an array of nurturing
and rejuvenating treat-
ments for men and women.
Services include cus-
tomized facials to refresh
and renew, purifying clay
body masks and revitaliz-
ing body polishes with
salts and aromatherapy
oils. She also offers Reiki,
an Oriental energy body-
work for stress reduction,
gem therapy, and life
coaching. Waxing services
as well as packages and
day retreats featuring yoga,
meditation and creative
expression are also avail-
able.
All treatments are ca-
tered to an individual's
specific needs, with an
intention of creating en-
hanced well-being for
body, mind and spirit.
Sierra sees her services
as offering relief from
daily life stressors before
they accumulate and be-
come unbearable.
“Sometimes people
need a bit of a reward,"
Sierra noted. “We can't all
fly off to Hawaii.
“These treatments are
like a mini-vacation," she
said. “An hour and-a-half
get-away to give yourself
some relaxation and per-
spective.
“And you can be home
in time for dinner."
To some, Sierra con-
cedes, the idea of such
pampered indulgence may
seem extravagant. “But
what price” she asks, “can
you put on sanity?”
Since the spa's open-
ing on Sept. 22, Sierra said
that she's had positive re-
sponse from community
members. They exclaim
gratefully that they no
longer have to drive to
Ashland, or wherever, to
enjoy the happy benefits of
the spa. Finally, these
quality, nurturing services
are available right here in
Illinois Valley, she’s
heard.
After an exhaustive
search,
Sierra
chose to feature the
Lotus Moon line of
skin-care products.
“Lotus Moon is a
professional, spa
line. It's really the
best synthesis of
high-tech, high-
performance ingre-
dients and organic
and holistic ingre-
dients,”
Sierra
said.
All the products
she uses are available for
purchase, so that a client
can have that special mois-
turizer, mask or toner at
home.
Through the end of the
year, Sierra is offering a
Grand Opening Special: 25
percent off the regular cost
of services. This includes
Deva Treetop Spa gift cer-
tificates. (Please mention

offer good through

A proposal to build a
Boys & Girls Club facility
near Jubilee Park -- and
which includes a commu-
nity center concept -- has
received unanimous support
from the Cave Junction City
Council.
The council noted its
backing during its meeting
in city hall Monday night,
Oct. 23.
The council was ad-
vised of the plan for a capi-
tal campaign to obtain fund-
ing by Scott Thornhill, di-
rector of the club’s Illinois
Valley section.
“The club is looking at
the northeast corner of the
park,” said Mayor Tony
Paulson. He added that the
city is working with the state
and a private property
owner on a plan to swap
equal amounts of property
to be able to accommodate
the planned new facility.
The statement support-
ing the plan, approved 5-0,
states in part:
“We are especially en-
thused about the community
center aspect the club is en-
visioning for its new build-
ing. The opportunity for
community members and
groups to utilize the facility
is exciting.
“The new club building
will not only create a posi-
tive, fun and safe place for
the youth of Cave Junction,
but for the entire Illinois
Valley community.
“We view the club as a
primary source of youth
programs for our city and
valley youth. We understand
that the club provides after-
summer programs, this all
contributes to reducing and
helping to prevent juvenile
delinquency in our commu-
nity.
“We know that the effect
of this project will reach well
beyond the Boys & Girls
Club’s immediate programs.
It will provide an immense
and continuing benefit and
resource to the valley for
many generations.”
school programs for kids 6
to 18. The proposed location
fits nicely within the geo-
graphical locations of our
city’s three public schools.
“The club’s youth de-
velopment strategies, and
core programs, have proven
very effective in affecting
our youth’s self-esteem and
character. Because the club
provides youth sports, teen
activities and dances, and

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back
to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because
then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance
and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.
- Leonardo da Vinci -
Donations for Silent Auction are needed and may be taken to the
school office.
Please donate a bag of wrapped candy! Please bring to the school
office by October 20th!
The PTA appreciates your support of this event!
