Dinner, music, dancing for Granny Aggie in Takilma
If only I knew then what I know now…
Fund-raiser for Pilgrim and the ‘Thirteen Grandmothers’ will be held Saturday, May 26
A fund-raiser to benefit
the work of Illinois Valley
and Josephine County digni-
tary and world-renowned
spiritual leader, Grandmother
Agnes Baker Pilgrim, will be
held Saturday, May 26 at 6
p.m. at the Takilma Commu-
nity Bldg.
“Darryl Cherney and the
Patriot Act” will perform
highly danceable music at
8:30 p.m., and a dinner of
linguini or quiche will be
served, with desserts after. “A
high-quality arts and services
raffle also will be a feature at
the nonalcoholic event,” said
sponsors.
Famous for her inclusive
and nonjudgmental manner
and known affectionately as
“everybody’s Grandma,”
Grandmother Aggie will take
the stage after dinner and
relate tales about her recent
travels. She recently met with
the Dalai Lama and spread
her message of hope for the
world and all its inhabitants --
human and nonhuman.
“I am trying to teach
reciprocity,” she says. “We
two-leggeds are always tak-
ing and rarely giving back.
Without reciprocity, the bal-
ance of nature is thrown off.”
She is also the eldest
member and chairman of
“The International Council of
Thirteen Grandmothers,” a
global alliance of prayer, edu-
cation and healing for “our
shared Earth, all inhabitants
human and nonhuman; in-
cluding the plant and insect
kingdoms.” The Grandmoth-
ers -- deeply concerned about
the destruction of Earth’s
natural systems and indige-
nous ways of life -- are
women of prayer and action;
working together to serve
common goals as well as sup-
port their specific local con-
cerns.
Currently, the 13 Grand-
mothers are striving to gain
an audience with the Pope,
and in June, they will make a
pilgrimage to the Pine Ridge
Lakota Reservation, one of
the most impoverished Native
American nations in America.
The Thirteen Grand-
mothers have published a
book “that is enjoying a won-
derful reception and is in high
demand.” Copies of the book,
“Grandmothers Counsel the
World,” will be available, and
Grandmother Aggie will
autograph copies for anyone
who purchases one during the
fund-raiser.
Grandmother Aggie trav-
els extensively on her own
and with the Grandmothers.
Through her tireless work for
humanity and the environ-
ment, she accrues many ex-
penses; thus this benefit seeks

including:
to ease her financial burden,
“to help free her up to focus
on what she does best; shin-
ing a powerful spiritual light
that benefits us all.”
She is the oldest surviv-
ing Takelma Elder living in
Southwestern Oregon. The
Takelma people populated
this region for thousands of
years, “although it took only
four years to destroy the cul-
ture after miners arrived on
the shores of S.W. Oregon.”
Grandmother Aggie is
the Keeper of the Sacred
Salmon Ceremony for her
people. In 1994, she revived
the ceremony after it had
been lost for more than 150
years, because many Takelma
people were killed and the
survivors forced onto their
“Trail of Tears” and relocated
to the Siletz reservation.
Grandmother Aggie’s grand-
father was the first chief of
the Siletz Confederation of
Tribes.
This year the Salmon
Ceremony will be held June 2
in Gold Hill. It is open to the
public and is held to honor
the salmon people and ex-
press gratitude for their giv-
ing their lives to feed human-
ity. All assembled pray for
the continued existence of the
precious salmon runs.
Fund-raiser sponsors also
noted, “One quality that
makes Grandmother Aggie
beloved by thousands is how
assessable she is to everyone,
regardless of race, religion or
politics. She is an exception-
ally clear and strong speaker
whose no-nonsense eloquent
style has touched people of
many different cultures in the
United States and around the
world.”
She says, “We must all
work together to combat
spiritual blindness, and more
so today than ever before.”

Vendors in OLCC program
check ID better than others
Alcohol sellers in the
Oregon Liquor Control
Commission’s Responsible
Vendor Program (RVP) are
doing a good job of check-
ing the IDs of younger-
looking buyers, according to
a statewide research study.
But, nonRVP grocery
and convenience store
clerks didn’t fare as well
during the test – failing to
ask a young-looking alcohol
customer for ID approxi-
mately 40 percent of the
time. Clerks at liquor and
drug stores did better, how-
ever, checking the ID of the
young buyers approximately
86 percent of the time.
Some 385 Oregon liq-
uor licensees were visited
during 2005 by the Pacific
Institute for Research and
Evaluation’s (PIRE) Preven-
tion Research Center and
the Oregon Research Insti-
tute.
During the study,
young-looking 21-year-olds
attempted to buy a six pack
of beer without an ID card.
State law requires an ID
check when persons who
look 26 or younger buy
alcohol.
Researchers wanted to
pinpoint the types of outlets
that are likely to sell to
youngsters, so they can sug-
gest strategies for reducing
alcohol sales to minors.

Due to the budget crisis, the Illinois Valley Branch Library in
Cave Junction has closed, its last day was May 16.
All materials are now due and can be returned to the book drop
in front of the library. Patrons of Josephine County libraries will
be notified by phone or mail if late fees have been incurred.
The Grants Pass Library has also closed; its last open day was
May 17. Additionally, the Williams branch has ceased opera-
tions.
The Wolf Creek Library will remain open (this being a require-
ment of its construction grant) as a noncirculating reading room.
With the library closings, this article is the last “Bookworm.”
