CJ City Council sets LID workshop; appoints councilor
A workshop to address
submission of a revised Lo-
cal Improvement District
petition for an expansion
project on the west side of
Redwood Hwy. at the north
end of the city will be
scheduled, the Cave Junc-
tion City Council decided
Monday night, Feb. 11, dur-
ing a 21-minute meeting in
city hall.
The request for a coun-
cil workshop, during which
no action can be taken, was
requested by John Chmelir,
representative of Illinois
Valley Development. A pre-
vious petition was with-
drawn when the Versteeg
Family Trust, which owns a
26-acre tree lot along the
project, filed legal papers
outlining what it indicated
are illegalities in the initial
petition. Among those legal
concerns were the facts that
the city cannot impose a
Local Improvement District
(LID) on property that is not
within the city limits, nor
can it set up an LID wherein
the city is not performing
the work.
The council was asked
if those specific problems
would be addressed during
the workshop. In spite of
over-lapping responses by
Jim Polk, city recorder and
treasurer, and other council-
ors, Councilman Margaret
Miller answered that all
relevant issues would be
discussed.
In other matters, Trisha

Through half truths and
tempting offers, the devil
certainly makes wrong things
sound right.
Which path is each of us
following, or trying to fol-
low? The path of false prom-
ises and half truths the devil
provides, or the more difficult
path of doing right despite
how tempting the wrong path
looks?

Richard Hall, representa-
tive for the Pacific Northwest
for ADRA (Adventist Develop-
ment & Relief Association)
gave an inspiring message last
week and showed films of his
recent visits to Africa and Asia.
He described the terrible
conditions of people in several
countries in Africa. But now
ADRA has put in wells, so
they can irrigate their crops and
curb famine. He told about and
showed pictures of many
planes and trucks sponsored by
ADRA bringing in food pro-
vided by the U.S. government.
In the afternoon Hall showed
places where he flew in his
little airplane to help many
villages in Cambodia and Laos
with medical treatment and
needed technical assistance.
The Seminar on the Bap-
tism of the Holy Spirit was
held immediately after the mis-
sion film. Everyone felt blessed
as they attended this meeting
