Page 2 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, August 13, 2008 Ha, just when you thought the words about the edi- tor’s outings were complete, he took another trip. But not on purpose. Sort of. As I am feeling fatigued, this week’s offering will be relatively (no pun intended) short with a couple of pho- tos, and a multiple choice section. There will be prizes. Send your selections with your name and phone number written on the back of a $50 bill, and we’ll take it from there. OK, here goes: The editor took an (unexpected, unusual, unbearable) trip last week to (Downtown Ti- juana, the Australian Outback, a coyote ranch) to visit his (estranged donkey, escaped chicken, family in San Diego County). During this trip, the editor acquired (many credit card receipts, sunburn on his legs, a suit- case full of dirty clothing). The trip included a lot of good food including (Mexican sushi, filet of yak, the world’s largest chicken burrito). The editor is glad to be back except for (the credit card receipts, the five pounds he gained, having to meet deadlines). There will be another Corner with more details in next issue unless (the editor’s car dissolves, the moon pushes the Earth out of orbit, Josephine County is annexed to Northern California).

Lions Club annual Labor Day Festival set for Aug. 30 through Sept. 1. Those who plan to par- ticipate have only a few weeks to prepare for the “really big shew,” as Ed Sul- livan said. (This event is for amateurs only). Last year there were more than 30 con- testants (the most ever) and $700 in prize money was awarded. The performers were great. It was obvious that they all worked hard prepar- ing for the contest; and as a result they delivered great entertainment for all. The 2007 talent show first-place winners were: Junior Division, McKayla Yeoman; Interme- diate Division, Alex Paulson; Adult Division, Anthony Melendez. We are looking forward to another big talent show this year. Those inter- ested in signing up for this year’s contest should phone either Donna, 596-2719; or Sue, 592-2252. New World Order combat From Raymond Ronald Karczewski© Cave Junction Below are some of the steps I have taken to establish my status as a living, breath- ing, flesh-and-blood, sentient, natural man of the sovereign people. They have proven themselves to be the stone which ell (sic) the Goliath of the state of Oregon and county of Josephine, which cannot in all their purported power an- swer point by point, the ques- tions of jurisdiction while un- der oath or by affidavit. Become debt-free. Re- move yourself as a 14th Amendment citizen/slave/ debtor to all legal public and private transactions between you and private and public corporation creditors. Get rid of credit cards, bank ac- counts, deal in cash, money orders, not credit. Establish yourself as a creditor, secured party, act, and be responsible for your actions. That is the essence of a sovereign. Common Law allows you to copyright your name (common law copyright, not corporate legislative copy- right policy) thereby return- ing to you control over your corporate-created all-capital letter juristic trademark/ tradename in all relationships. Rescind all government con- tracts previously entered into wherein full disclosure at time of contract was not given by the state, nor under- stood by you. All such con- tracts are, by law, invalid, null and void. (Examples: driver licenses, auto license registra- tion). Sever the nexus existing between corporate juristic person (Strawman) and your- self as a living, breathing, flesh-and-blood, sentient, natural man or woman, clearly delineating truth from fiction. Enter into a private security agreement with your juristic person establishing written documentation of such relationship. File a UCC Financing Statement with the secretary of state or county recorder of such documented relation- ship. I have pointed to the way of individual freedom and sovereignty in extricating oneself from within a corrupt land of tyranny. Stop playing the satanic game of organized opposition. Stand alone with truth and you will understand the way of a Christ. Resist not evil -- boycott it. What is the proof I offer of its efficacy? They threatened this 70-year-old Christ with 35 years of prison (a life sen- tence). Here I sit, a free man, when I refused their contract of sentencing, demanded they answer the questions of juris- diction over this living, breathing, flesh-and-blood, sentient, natural man and they threw me out of their jail. God indeed works in mysterious ways. Hop yard hoopla From Fred Krauss Cave Junction I wonder why the city of Grants Pass paid $2.5 million for land that was once used as a hop yard. Only, after the city bought it, officials dis- covered that years of using treated hop poles has caused a significant environmental contamination and possibly made some of it unusable. I wonder; if 75 percent of the people who use the Grants Pass library are from Grants Pass, why can’t they keep it open? I flew out of the Illinois Valley airport for years. Now the federal government is paying $300,000 to build a fence around it. I wonder why they could not use that money to keep the Cave Junction Swimming Pool open. The county public works road section has a large shop in Kerby. Often, it appears that they drive their vehicles from Kerby to Grants Pass and back. I wonder why they don’t just leave them in Grants Pass and ride from Kerby to Grants Pass in a small bus. This would save a substantial amount of fuel each month. Pulling yellow star thistle From Susan Chapp Forestry Action Committee Cave Junction We are pulling the inva- sive yellow star thistle from Illinois Valley locations. We are volunteers who go out one morning a week before it gets hot. It has become Wednes- days, but it’s open to change. We start between 8 and 9, and work for several hours, until we are ready to quit. It is a beautiful time of day, while it is still cool and calm. In the quiet meadows you can hear birds call. While we work together you feel the spirit of helping the Earth. This thistle is so danger- ous to animals. It will kill livestock. There have been reports of it in hay bales. There’s a lot of it in Medford so bales should be checked before being unloaded. We’re talking to horse people and hoping to get more volun- teers, even for one day. People have called in with sites to clear which we will go after, so anyone who will join us is gratefully ap- preciated. Many hands make the work light. It’s not hard work, just pulling up weeds and they pull easily. It’s nice to be with others helping the land. Those who see a patch of this stuff are asked to phone us. If you are pulling it, wear gloves. We are experimenting to find the most environmen- tally friendly way to dispose of it, and all comments and experiences are welcome. We are learning, and information is great. Phone the Forestry Action Committee at 592-4098; Mrs. T. Peno at 592-2837; or visit forestryaction@hughes.net. Madrone School From Kim Bowlby, kindergarten teacher Madrone Adventist Elementary School Cave Junction We live here in this beau- tiful small community with one overcrowded public school system. The people of Illinois Valley have the right to know that they have other schooling options for their children. Many do not even know that there are a few private school options in Cave Junction. One private school op- tion is Madrone Adventist Elementary School on Hol- land Loop. It’s the little red school house back in the woods. The school is just a few miles out of town and has a safe environment setting. The school and the teachers are accredited, which is im- portant. Madrone Adventist Ele- mentary School now offers a kindergarten program that runs five days a week, along with a first- through eighth- grade classroom that has a low student-teacher ratio. The school raised money and has received donations to be able to build a play system for the students. Our classes will begin before Labor Day, with regis- tration on Monday, Aug. 11 from 5 to 7 p.m. I.V. Fire District needs help From Edwin “Bob” Butler, member of the board Cave Junction We are seriously low on fire district volunteers. The emergency call volume is increasing and the volunteer numbers are at an all-time low. (Continued on page 3) PAIN CLINIC Acupuncture relieves pain without drugs or surgery!
