(Photo by Illinois Valley News) Holiday substance abuse not real jolly By NARCONON ARROWHEAD When a loved one suffers from problems with drugs or alcohol, the holiday season is stressful for everyone. Holiday parties present more opportunities for alco- hol or drug use. Financial or family stresses may trigger more substance abuse. Family members of a person abusing drugs or alcohol would be wise to note the well- documented connection be- tween substance abuse and suicide. Alcohol abuse causes higher rates of suicide, ac- cording to Canada’s Center for Addiction & Mental Health, and the Martin Luther University in Germany. One study found that people whose drinking causes trou- ble at work are six times as likely to commit suicide. The U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration re- Helen Mae Bannon Former Cave Junction resident Helen Mae Bannon, 91, of Grants Pass, died Satur- day, Nov. 17, 2007 at a Grants Pass nursing center. No local services are planned. Hull & Hull Funeral Directors is in charge of ar- rangements. Mrs. Bannon was born on July 25, 1916 in Cleveland, Ohio to Paul & Bessie (Steadl) Klaus.

She lived in Littlerock, Calif. for many years before moving to Cave Junction ap- proximately 10 years ago. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Dec. 2 marked the first Sunday in Advent, meaning it’s the start of the Christmas season, when we expect the arrival of the Christ child. An- other expectation is Jesus’ promise to return. Is it taking a long time? God might consider thousands of years a blink of the eye. He will return. Will we be ready?

And a study published in 2006 by the Centers for Disease Control, found that suicide victims frequently tested positive for alcohol (33 percent) or illicit drug (opiates, cocaine, marijuana or amphetamines in 10 per- cent of cases). “The number of people coming to us for drug reha- bilitation services increases dramatically from Thanksgiv- ing to the end of the year,” stated Ryan Thorpe, director of Admissions at Narconon Arrowhead, one of the coun- try’s leading drug education and rehabilitation centers, located in Canadian, Okla. “Last year,” said Thorpe, “we surveyed the 560 people who entered treatment with us between January and No- vember, and their families. We found that 73 percent experienced more problems, In February 1981 she be- came a member of Littlerock Presbyterian Church in Little- rock, Calif. and was elected church elder in January 1984. She also was a member of the Hollywood Chapter of the Or- der of Eastern Star in which she served as Worthy Matron. She volunteered in various churches in the cities in which she lived. Mrs. Bannon, along with her husband, Roy, had racehorses, and won the Irish Sweepstakes. They subse- quently traveled to Ireland. She loved Country music. She is survived by a great- nephew. Besides her husbands, she was preceded in death by her sister, Florence Matz. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF SELMA 18285 Redwood Hwy. P.O.

It’s impossible for a family to tell when their loved one will overdose or get arrested. The only safe solution is to get help immediately to end the addiction.” Information is available from Narconon Arrowhead at (800) 468-6933 or visit www.stopaddiction.com. After working for more than three months under lead- ership of an ad hoc steering committee of 18 citizens, Josephine Community Li- braries Inc. (JCLI) -- the pri- vate nonprofit corporation dedicated to reopening and operating the public libraries in Josephine County -- has installed its first official board of directors. The group needs to raise $600,000 to $1 million to open the four branches of the library at a minimal level of service. The branches are in Grants Pass, Cave Junction, Williams and Wolf Creek. To raise funds, JCLI an- ticipates setting up a member- ship structure similar to that of public broadcasting, in which library donors would make yearly contributions to provide for operations. The libraries still would be acces- sible to everyone at no charge. Other ideas include special fund-raising events during the next several months, which the new board will spearhead. During its Steering Com- mittee meeting Tuesday, Nov. 27, the following 12 were selected to serve on the new board: Brady Adams, Charles Brown, Judy Chris- tensen, Dennis Doyle, Susan Ellsworth, Corin Goodwin, Bill Kangas, David Mannix, Nick Morgan, Bill Peterson, Elayne Smith, and Doug Walker. Said Walker, a retired general contractor and father of three, “It’s tough to tell our children that we can’t go to the library.
