As part of the one-year anniversary of Gary (right) & Lisa Braden’s Subway, Wyatt, 30, signed autographs on a color photo of his feat that occurred at Rogue Valley Motocross Track.

Coffee Heaven, at Red- wood Hwy. (Hwy. 199) and Caves Hwy. (Hwy. 46) has been a familiar landmark in Cave Junction for more than 15 years. In keeping with Coffee Heaven’s history of offering award-winning gour- met coffees, it is introducing a special Cave Bear Blend -- an exceptional mix of organi- cally grown fair trade coffee from around the world. Coffee Heaven states that each bean is roasted to perfection and blended to yield a distinctive flavor that is rich and naturally sweet. Using Old World European methods, the Italian roaster learned his trade in Salerno, Italy and has continued that tradition in the United States since 1978. Besides the finest cof- fee, tea, and espresso drinks, Coffee Heaven features a wide selection of whole beans, fresh baked goods, organic juices and smooth- ies, ice cream, and coffee brewing accessories. The new Cave Bear Blend will be showcased for public tasting during the Second Friday Art Walk in the Illinois Valley Visitor Center at 201 Caves Hwy. on Oct. 12 from 5 to 8 p.m. First office at I.V.

The Federal Trade Commission has a new bro- chure, “Giving the Bounce to Counterfeit Check Scams,” which explains common angles used in these scams, the responsi- bilities of banks and con- sumers when it comes to counterfeit checks, and ad- vice on how to avoid them. While the angles used by scam artists may vary, the basics of the counterfeit check scam remain the same. The consumer re- ceives a generous check with an explanation that he or she has just won an award, a prize, a lottery or some other windfall. The consumer is in- structed to deposit the check and wire a portion back to pay fees, taxes or the like. The consumer deposits the check, the bank credits the funds to the consumer’s account and the consumer wires the money to the sender. Some time later, the bank and the consumer learn the check was bogus. Unfortunately, the con- sumer is out of luck: The money that was wired can’t be retrieved and, by law, the consumer is responsible for the deposited check-even though he or she didn't know it was fake. The FTC advises con- sumers not to rely on funds from checks unless they know and trust the person who gave them the check or, better yet, until the bank confirms that the check has cleared. Other tips: *Throw away any offer that asks you to pay. If it’s free or a gift, you shouldn’t pay for it. *Resist the urge to enter foreign lotteries. It’s illegal to play a foreign lottery through the mail or tele- phone, and most foreign lot- tery solicitations are phony. *Know who you’re dealing with and never wire money to strangers. *If you’re selling some- thing, don’t accept a check Evergreen school health site possibility (Continued from page 3) “This widespread and enthusiastic support is due in part to the recognized value of the already existing school-based health centers at Lorna Byrne Middle School and Illinois Valley High School. “The IVHS site has ex- isted since 1994, and the LBMS location since 1999. The first such center was established in Oregon in 1986. The stated goals are to improve access to pri- mary health care, preventa- tive services, and mental health care services to school-aged youth.

Monies also would be used to develop proto- cols, hire staff, purchase clinic supplies, “and initiate sustainable partnerships within the community.” In June 2008 a status report would be sent to the state program office to serve as an application for the $60,000 phase II funding to initiate services. for more than the selling price, no matter how tempt- ing the offer or how con- vincing the story. Ask the buyer to write the check for the correct amount. If the buyer refuses to send the correct amount, return the check. Don’t send the mer- chandise. *If you accept payment by check, ask for a check drawn on a local bank or a bank with a local branch. That way, you can make a personal visit to make sure the check is valid. *If the buyer insists that you wire back funds, end the transaction immediately. *Resist any pressure to “act now.” If the buyer’s offer is good now, it should be good after the check clears.
