Vacation safety suggestions
“Vacations with friends and family should be an enjoyable and memo-
rable time away.
“But certain safety precautions should be given priority equal to that of
flight arrangements and hotel locations.”
So says Lawrence Loesch, former NYPD deputy chief, and vice presi-
dent & general manager for Allied Barton Security Services.
“Vacationers can face a host of problems from theft and minor personal
injury to violence, arrests, and illnesses,” said Loesch. “We recommend that
vacationers use common sense and take safety precautions that can help

NOTICE OF MEASURE ELECTION
JOSEPHINE COUNTY, OREGON
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday, November 4, 2008, an
election will be held within the boundaries of the proposed Mid-Rogue
Rural Fire Protection District in Josephine County, Oregon. The election
shall be held by mail. The following question will be submitted to the
qualified voters thereof:
CAPTION:
FORMATION OF MID-ROGUE RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
QUESTION:
Shall County form Mid-Rogue Rural Fire Protection District?
SUMMARY:
This measure would form a rural fire protection district in areas lo-
cated in Josephine County as shown on the map filed with the Jose-
phine County Clerk. The name of the district would be Mid-Rogue
Rural Fire Protection District. This measure does not include a per-
manent tax rate for the District. The District would be governed by a
five-member board of directors who are elected at the time of district
formation. The District board would determine the fire protection,
prevention and suppression services, and any other services legally
available under ORS Chapter 478, which the District would provide
to residents of the District, and the method of funding the services.
Services of this District would be available to residents living within
the boundaries established for the District. Services of this District
would not be available to residents living in the cities of Grants Pass
and Cave Junction, and services of this District would not be avail-
able to residents living in other areas of Josephine County within an
existing rural fire protection district.
The proposed rural fire protection district shall have as its boundary all of
Josephine County as described in ORS 201.170, excluding the territories
located within the boundaries of currently existing rural fire protection
districts, excluding the cities of Cave Junction and Grants Pass, and ex-
cluding those territories as set forth in ORS 478.010; as more particularly
described in the map filed with the Josephine County Clerk.
Notice is hereby given that a ballot title for a measure referred by the
County has been filed with the Elections Officer of Josephine County,
Oregon on August 6, 2008. The ballot title caption is FORMATION OF
MID-ROGUE RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT. An elector may
file a petition for review of this ballot title in the Josephine County Circuit
Court no later than 5:00 p.m., August 15, 2008.

Newlyweds Ricke Fricke and Terri Thrasher. (Photo by M. Binker, IVN )
Auspicious Aug. 8 wedding
unites Thrasher and Fricke
A Cave Junction couple,
Terri Thrasher and Ricke Fricke,
chose to be wed on Friday, Aug.
8 at 8:08 p.m. (08/08/08 at 8:08).
They selected the time and
date more than a year ago, be-
cause Thrasher thought it would
be “way cool, and very power-
ful,” said friend Gail Stone.
The ceremony was con-
ducted at St. Mathias Episcopal
Church in Cave Junction by
Marcia Griffin of Grants Pass.
Prior to the chapel ceremony,
a special Baha’i blessing was
conferred by family and friends.
The chapel ceremony in-
cluded pouring colored sand into
a keepsake vase which was
sealed. It signifies the blending of
the families of the newlyweds.
Fricke’s daughter, Nicole
Fricke, 14, gave her father away.
Special guests were the bride-
groom’s mother, Bonnie Fricke,
of Superior, Montana; the bride’s
children, Nichole Froderman, 20,
and Brandan Froderman, 16, who
gave away their mom.
Other special guests included
the bride’s mother, Joan Balliett,
from Peoria, Ariz.; and brother,
Ted Froderman, along with his
wife and son, from Glendale,
Ariz.
The happy couple was last
seen heading for the Oregon
coast.
Reservoir necessity questioned by Kerby district
(Continued from page 1)
the city conclusion. He said that the
issue really is what effect the use of the
fire pumps by the district would have
on the current city system if a major
fire occurred in Kerby.
“The issue of a reservoir within
KWD has already been thoroughly
explored by the district,” Plute said.
“This information,” he continued,
“was clearly expressed by the district at
both workshops relating to this project
(the city supplying water to KWD and
the possible need for a reservoir). The
district’s engineers have developed a
solution that provides adequate fire
protection flow rates using fire pumps
in lieu of a reservoir,” Plute said.
He stated that “Bringing the reser-
voir issue up again at this point is a step
backward from the course of action that
the council and KDW agreed to in the
July 16 workshop.
“The scope of work that has been
agreed to,” he said, “will address any
negative impacts on the city’s water
distribution system,” as well as “if ad-
ditional storage capacity is needed for
the city reservoir due to the service
needs of the district.”
Plute and Mayor Tony Paulson had
an intense exchange of comments
about the possible need for a reservoir
and where it would be located. The
mayor said that he’s not going to ask
city taxpayers to foot the bill for the
water district.
Plute reiterated that KWD does not
see the need for a reservoir in its
boundaries. He said that the city could
expand its storage. It has three reser-
voirs. Councilor Margaret Miller
agreed with Plute that the issue had
been resolved in the workshops.
A study of the question is to be
conducted by the city’s engineering
firm. Plute asked that the city revise the
“scope of work” terminology, and that
was agreed to, “as early as possible
next week.”
In another matter, the council
voted 5-0 in favor of continuing its
membership in the City County Insur-
ance Services Trust so that it can apply
for a $3,500 grant to install a security
system in city hall.
If the funding is received, the city
would install four door knob locks that
would require designated thumb prints
to open. Additionally, four video cam-
eras would be installed.
The council also received a report
from Deputy George Gasperson, the
city contract officer from Josephine
County Sheriff’s Office. Gasperson said
that he has handled more than 100 inci-
dents of various types since July 1. But
he noted that some incidents haven’t
been logged, so that the total actually is
higher.
He said that since he began as con-
tract officer, he has visited many city
businesses. The response has been
good, he said. Councilman Don Moore
thanked him for his efforts, noting,
“Keep up the good work; this is what
we need.”
Gasperson said that he is working
to identify problem areas, and adjusting
his schedule as necessary.
The council was advised by Polk
that Merlin resident Holger Sommer,
through his attorney, has asked for
monetary relief in regard to a case he
sent to the Oregon Land Use Board of
Appeals. Sommer already has paid the
city nearly $8,000 after another of his
appeals to LUBA also was rejected,
and he was ordered to pay the city’s
legal fees.
Concerning his second rejected
appeal that cost the city several thou-
sand dollars in legal fees, Sommer’s
attorney wants a 50 percent reduction
in the cost, and objects to three of the
hours listed by City Attorney Patrick
Kelly. Additionally, Polk said, the law-
yer would like for the city to dismiss
the matter.
