Forestry Action fund-raiser slated Friday, Jan. 30
On Friday, Jan. 30 from
7 to 10 p.m. the Forestry Ac-
tion Committee (FAC) will
hold its first fund-raising
event to raise money to con-
tinue “the great work FAC
does with the community and
the land to make the valley a
great place for all to live.”
The event, with “live
music, food, fun and a raffle,”
will be held at the Josephine
County Bldg. in Downtown
Cave Junction.
Along with its many
worthwhile projects, FAC
said, it also “helps our local
youth groups through a part-
nership between the Illinois
Charter Co.
said nearing
bankruptcy
Indications are that St.
Louis-based Charter Commu-
nications is headed for possi-
bly filing bankruptcy soon.
The company was to pay
some $73 million in interest
fees, due Thursday, Jan. 15,
but did not. However, there is
a 30-day grace period, after
which the company would be
in default.
Charter Communications
has more than $20 billion in
debt, noted Moody’s Inves-
tors Service. It therefore is
predicting bankruptcy unless
the debt is restructured.
Charter has customers in
Josephine County for cable
television and high-speed
Internet services.

vation District and the Ore-
gon Dept. of Agriculture. The
25-cents a tree program has
become a fun way for chil-
dren to earn funds for their
organization while they per-
form important community
service.
“Now the FAC needs the
community’s help in these
hard economic times to con-
tinue its important work. It is
currently in the middle of its
2009 season Riparian Tree
Planting Project. And while
FAC gives seedlings to land
owners for free to restore
riparian areas, there is a cost
incurred for the project that
the FAC must raise funds to
cover.”
FAC added that it also
“has plans to bring back the
Invasive Weed Control Crew
to pull noxious weeds, avoid-
ing the use of herbicides.”
The evening fund-raising
event will feature live music
from The Southern Oregon
Blues Band. There will be a
raffle for items including
handcrafted jewelry, a choco-
late tower from Harry &
David, gift certificates and
more. FAC plans to have an
evening with lots of food and
fun. There is a suggested do-
nation at the door for admis-
sion.
Those who would like to
help the event by donating
time or items, or want more
information on any FAC pro-
jects, can phone 592-4098.

Public drinking?
The Cave Junction City Council is considering an ordinance
that would prohibit drinking alcohol on public premises. What do
you think of that?
“I’m all for banning the pub-
lic consumption of alcohol. I
think it hurts our community.
I want them to stop urinating
in public places.”
Barbara Klingel
“I like that idea. It’s over-
due.”
Joe Malcolm
“You don’t need to be drunk
to go to the park and have a
good time. That’s what bars
are for.”
Kimberly Potter
“If they’re sitting on a curb
drinking, it’s a bad image for
the whole town.”
Brad Key
“I definitely think there needs
to be something done. Drink-
ing in public is not a good
idea. I think there needs to be
some law.”
