‘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.

at Eugene.
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.”
