(Photo by Zina Booth) Sponsored Feature: Style #1 at Hair, Face & Nail Place Not your “Fast Food” of hair salons, the ladies at Hair, Face & Nail Place in Cave Junc- tion prefer quality -- not quantity -- offering per- sonalized services. Owner Lisa DeRov and her co-workers at Hair, Face & Nail Place join in their ministry to help people feel better about themselves. All work is guaranteed, and everyone agrees that if a client isn’t satisfied with any service, they’ll fix it. Lisa studies current styles to keep her clients up to date. “Our clients know they can trust us,” states Lisa, who has 25 years experience and specializes in long-hair cuts, colors and styles. “We do it all -- styles, cuts, perms, all phases of color, full body-waxing, and every- thing related to nails,” she said. “If we can’t do something, we’ll try to help you find someone who can. We try to work with the other professionals in the area to make sure people who come into our shop have access to the services they need, even if it means sending them to another salon.” The original owner, Margie Spreng, came from Southwest Washington to Cave Junction for a life change in 1993, and went from being a legal assistant to a salon owner when she opened Hair, Face & Nail Place in Western Plaza in 1999. Three years ago, she sold the salon to Lisa, but stayed on leasing space, doing what she loves best - coloring, perming and cutting hair, with short haircuts, men’s or women’s, being her specialty. Margie enjoys the freedom and the chance to visit with her clients in a pleasant, upbeat at- mosphere. “For us, there’s no better feeling than having someone come in feeling down about themselves and leaving with a big smile on their face,” says Margie. Dianne Dreher joined the shop in February 2008, after co-owning a barber shop in Califor- nia, and now does cuts for all family members. Her unique approach with children’s haircuts may stem from her being a grandmother -- to 52 grandchildren. Dianne’s gentle and smiling technique pre- pares timid children; a first visit might consist of sitting in the chair while mom gets her hair done. The next visit the child may hold the clippers while he or she gets their hair combed. By the third visit, Dianne has “groomed” another new client. Diane Moller has been a nail technician for 30 years, the past three at Hair, Face & Nails Place. She specializes in acrylic nails and guar- antees three weeks of no lifting. Diane is known to be very gentle, both in her manicures and her other profession, giving horse-riding lessons, either with her own horses or at her students’ sites. Jerene Carter specializes in manicures and pedicures, and joined Hair, Face & Nail Place in September 2008. Jerene applies glitter gels and acrylic to create “Boogie toes,” a term possibly stemming from a brand of nail acrylic called “Boogie Nights.” Jerene enjoys pampering her clients indi- vidually in a separate nail room, and she soon will offer aromatherapy as well. Glenda Karr specializes in no-odor gel nails, although she also applies no-odor acrylics. The no-odor gels are cured with UV light, and are more flexible; longevity is the same either way. Glenda has been a licensed nail technician since 1990. She owned and managed Beautiful Dis- tractions in Cave Junction from 1996 to 1999, and had her own business, “Nails by Glenda” in Grants Pass, but decided to return to work in Cave Junction in March of this year. Customers at the salon range in age from 2 to 92, and the ladies apparently work on as many men as they do women. Whoever you are, you’ll be welcome at the Hair, Face & Nail Place at 230-A North Redwood Hwy. in Western Plaza in Cave Junction. The business is open Mondays through Sat- urdays. Also, 592-6336 can be phoned any time to make an appointment or leave a message -- evening and weekend appointments also are available whenever possible, and walk-ins are welcome whenever they can be worked in dur- ing the day. ~ Zina Booth A Middle Ages art project at Lorna Byrne Middle School, sponsored by the Illinois River Valley Learning Through Art Program (LTA), was held on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 7 and 8. The project was conducted in conjunction with sixth-grade history studies, with the help of artists and volunteers. Students were greeted by project coordinator Barbara Ford, dressed in authentic medieval cos- tume. They were asked, “What was it like to be a knight in the Middle Ages?” Then they selected a workshop led by an artist. The students used their imaginations to design their own suits of armor using embossing tech- niques on heavy craft foil. Heraldry, a very old visual language, was introduced to the students by letting them create their own coats of arms on shields using colors and symbols to distinguish themselves from others. The art of chain mail also was explored. Membership in and donations to the Illinois River Valley Art Council (a 501c3 nonprofit or- ganization) will help fund this and other Learning Through Art projects. The Website at www.irvac.com has a membership form and infor- mation. IVSWCD offers a word on the water cycle If you were to put a glass of water on a table before you, could you guess how old that water is? The water may have fallen from the sky as rain or snow just last month, but the water itself has been around about as long as the Earth has. The Earth has a limited amount of water. It keeps go- ing around and around in what we call the “Water Cycle.” This cycle is made up of a few main parts: evaporation (and transpiration), condensa- tion, precipitation, and collec- tion. Earth Day Battery Roundup slated for April 22 by AAA Earth Day is set for Wednesday, April 22, but AAA Oregon/Idaho com- memorates it for the whole month with the annual AAA Great Battery Roundup. During all of April, AAA Oregon/Idaho Approved Automotive Repair (AAR) facilities will accept, at no cost, used automotive or ma- rine lead-acid batteries and send them to plants where they can be recycled into new batteries. Said AAA, “Used vehicle batteries are potential fire and safety hazards because of their lead and sulfuric acid content. “Some of these old batter- ies are illegally disposed of in dumpsters, or are simply placed in family garages, yards or storage sheds where they could leak and contami- nate the soil and groundwater, explode and cause a fire, or become a source of lead poi- soning to humans and ani- mals.” Car batteries contain 18 pounds of lead and a pound of sulfuric acid, making them extremely hazardous. Ap- proximately 95 percent of the lead in spent lead-acid batter- ies is returned for recycling annually, but an estimated five million batteries are not recy- cled. “We want to encourage people to take the extra and responsible step of searching the areas where these old bat- teries might be stored and bring them to our AAR facili- ties for proper disposal,” AAA stated. The AAR facilities usu- ally receive hundreds of old batteries every April during the Great Battery Roundup. Anyone wanting to recycle old batteries should follow basic safety procedures: *Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling batteries. *Keep the batteries up- right and transport them in a sturdy box or plastic con- tainer. *Make sure the batteries do not tip over in a moving vehicle. *If the battery is cracked or leaking, place it in a leak- proof container. *Do not smoke near the (Above) A volunteer examines a student’s suit of armor; (below) painting heraldic sym- bols on shields; (left) students made chain- mail jewelry out of wire links.

For a complete list, phone (800) AAA-HELP or visit www.AAA.com (automotive service site). Evaporation occurs when the sun heats water in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. The water vapor or steam goes into the air. Another form of evaporation is when plants lose water through their leaves. This is called transpiration. Condensation comes about when the water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. An everyday occurrence of this would be when you pour a glass of wa- ter and add a couple of ice cubes. Condensation will form on the outside of the glass. Precipitation is a fancy word for rain and snow. They transpire when so much water has condensed that the air no longer can hold it. The clouds get heavy, and water falls back to the Earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow. When this precipitation oc- curs, the water will fall back into oceans, lakes, rivers or land. After precipitation, col- lection occurs. When precipi- tation hits land, it will either soak into the ground, becom- ing part of the “ground water” that plants and animals use to drink, or it may run over the soil and collect in the oceans, lakes or rivers. And this is where the cycle starts over again. (The preceding was sub- mitted by the Illinois Valley Soil & Water Conservation District.
