Page 5 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, July 25, 2007 ‘Elvis,’ ‘Wolfman Jack’ set for concert in GP July 27 Seen “Elvis” lately? How about “Wolfman Jack”? Care to see them “in person” with “Janis Joplin, Buddy Holly and Brenda Lee?” You’ve got a chance to do just that Friday, July 27 at Rogue Theater in Down- town Cave Junc- tion. Doors will open at 7 p.m. for the family oriented performances com- prising “The Ulti- mate Tribute” to the late entertain- ers. Tickets are avail- able from Z Coffee Roasters in Cave Junction, Blue Moon Antiques in Grants Pass, and Larry’s Music stores in Grants Pass and Medford. Advance ticket prices are less expensive than those that will be avail- able at the door. The event, “a blast from the past,” is the brainchild of Steve Zabriskie, of Z Cof- fee. It’s his plan to provide a scholarship to an Illinois Valley High School senior who will major in business. This year’s designated win- ner of a $2,000 award is Alexis Medina. She will attend University of Oregon SOG photo classes designed to aid artists Southern Oregon Guild (SOG) is offering two new classes designed to help art- ists and others create the quality photographs needed to sell their work or get into juried shows or galleries. The first class will be held Saturday, July 28; the second on Saturday, Aug. 18. Both will be at the SOG Artists Center & Gallery in the RCC Learning Center in Kerby. SOG President Jerry Work will teach both classes. By the end of these two sessions, students should be able to comfortably come into the Artists Center, use the photographic equipment, and walk away with excel- lent, properly lighted photos of their work. The July 28 session is about properly controlling exposure and white balance to obtain optimum results while photographing art work or other objects for sale or display. Students will learn how to control expo- sure, as well as how to ma- nipulate exposure and the white balance settings on digital cameras and in photo editing software to create stunning presentations. This class runs from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, July 28. The cost is $5 for SOG members and $15 for nonmembers. The Aug. 18 session will be a hands-on work shop, “Studio Lighting for Perfection.” This will be a four-hour workshop starting at 10 a.m. with a break for lunch from noon to 1 p.m. Students will receive instruction and practice in how to set up and use SOG’s backdrops, lighting and light boxes with their own or the Guild’s cameras and lenses to photograph (a) large three-dimensional ob- jects like furniture, (b) smaller 3-D objects like jewelry and pottery, and (c) flat objects including paint- ings, drawings and maps. The fee for this work- shop is $10 for Guild mem- bers; $20 for nonmem- bers. To sign up for one or both classes, phone Work at 592-5360, or SOG at 592- 5019. ‘Cavern less traveled’ tours offered public Want to definitely get off the beaten path? Oregon Caves National Monument is conducting “Introduction to Caving” tours on Saturdays at 12:30 p.m. through Sept. 1. Attendees, who must be at least 15 years old, should allow approximately four hours for a tour, which has a $30 per person fee. Partici- pants will learn about caving techniques, etiquette, and conservation. They will encounter a variety of caving challenges, including climbing and de- scending over rocky slopes and boulders; crawling on hands and knees; crossing uneven surfaces; and belly sliding. Due to the strenuous nature of the tour, partici- pants must be in good physi- cal condition and must be able to support their body weight with their arms. Par- ticipants must be at least 5 feet tall and not exceed a maximum size requirement. This tour is not recom- mended for those with a history of heart or respira- tory problems; or back, shoulder, or joint problems; or if they are prone to panic attacks or claustrophobia; or Shade and water for dogs are a must. Make sure that your pet has protection from heat and sun (a dog house does not provide relief from heat); and plenty of fresh, cool water when outdoors. Heat stroke can be fatal for pets as well as people. Kights Krafts offer a wide array of items… From Tole & Embroidery To Wood Crafts & Antiques, Utilitarian to Fanciful. Something for Everyone!

Zabriskie and his wife, Wendy, have geared the criteria for student appli- cants involved in part-time jobs for at least three years of their high school time. They must have good refer- ences and a minimum grade-point average of 3.5. Zabriskie notes that many students who work during their school years have no time to participate in sports or other extracur- ricular activities. This can lessen their chances for scholarships. The performers for the show “are fantastic,” said Zabriskie. Including the Wolfman Jack impersona- tor, who is endorsed by the real Wolfman’s family, the entertainers are recognized as tops in their field. They all come with su- perb performance records and have drawn rave re- views, noted Zabriskie. He added that the Elvis imper- sonator, James Reynolds, not only looks like “The King,” but sounds just like him too. “It’s going to be a fan- tastic show for a great cause,” he said. “It’s an ef- fort with a positive backlash, and we’re looking forward to a terrific evening.” We at Coffee Heaven congratulate Nancy Clark RN on achieving her certificate in nursing.
