Day-care center seeks start-up funds
ILLINOIS VALLEY emergency personnel responded to a pickup truck into a tree
crash near 7911 Deer Creek Road on Saturday, July 28 at 7:28 p.m. The driver, who
reportedly had been drinking, was observed suffering from multiple abrasions, but
walking away from the accident and stating he didn’t want law enforcement to know
what had happened, said Josephine County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO). He was not lo-
cated. The vehicle’s registered owner is Roger Renecker. (Photo by Dale & Elaine

A new arrival is ex-
pected later this summer
adjacent to Pregnancy Cen-
ter of the Illinois Valley on
S. Junction Avenue in Cave
Junction.
“We have prepared a
birthing plan for Helping
Hands, a Christian day-care
facility; something our board
has been working on for two
years,” said Mary Lefner,
center director.
And just as an expectant
mother gathers baby clothes
and supplies, the pregnancy
center needs funds to start
the new day-care site. Tax-
deductible donations are
sought from the valley busi-
ness community, as well as
private individuals.
There is a goal of
$3,000. The child-care pro-
vider will be Cindy O’Hara.
There initially will be
room for two infants, four
toddlers and up to four

Auditorium in Grants Pass.
The 20-member task force
consists of representatives
from local government,
business, timber and envi-
ronmental interests. Raffen-
burg is chairman, and Frick
also is a member.
Merlin resident and
land-use activist Holger
Sommer took to the podium
to criticize Frick.
“I think he’s part of the
problem,” Sommer said. He
opined that since the federal
government owns the O&C
lands, it should do as it sees fit.
“I don’t understand why
the county should get in
competition with the federal
government,” Sommer said.
He went on to state that
development drains the
county of resources, and that
local officials need to work
with BLM and U.S. Forest
Service on management
issues.
Raffenburg responded
that “this county has a great
working relationship” with
those federal agencies.
“They wholeheartedly
encourage us to involve citi-
zens in this process,” said
the commission chairman.
Jack Swift stated that a
decision on the alternatives
proposed by BLM will be
made in November, and that
federal law contains a provi-
sion to allow coordination
with local plans.
“I think we should take
advantage of it,” Swift said.
Michael Kline chal-
lenged the concept of true
federal ownership of O&C
land.
“The idea that the fed-
eral government can do
whatever it wants, I ques-
tion,” Kline said. He added
that logging, mining and
other county resources
“have been good for 150
years for revenue, develop-
ment and jobs.”

Ellis expressed his long-

and its efforts.
County board Vice
Chairman Dave Toler said
that “those resources can be
part of the solution,” but that
the county’s property tax
rate remains too low to pro-
vide adequate services to
residents.
“Those are the com-
bined pieces that will make
up the entire pie,” he said.
Toler also said that local
input is an important com-
ponent of forestry issues.
Raffenburg said that he
met with BLM officials in
mid-July, and that environ-
mental groups have notified
that agency of their intention
to seek injunctions to halt
WOPR implementation.
However, Raffenburg
noted that members of Cave
Junction-based Siskiyou
Project and other environ-
mental groups are on the

Term Funding Citizens Task
Force. It is looking at long-
term solutions to the
county’s funding problems,
and seeks to achieve it
through a balance of preser-
vation and resource use of
federal land in the county.
