Valley’s summer produce stands opening soon
Cold, wet weather has delayed reopening
two farmers markets in Illinois Valley.
Dale DeVorss from Kerbyville Farm hopes
to open the first part of
July, but is awaiting crops
after the worst spring
weather he has seen in
close to 20 years garden-
ing in Illinois Valley.
“Normally we may
have a bad April and a good May, but this year
we have had 2 1/2 months of wet, cold weather.
We’re already two plantings of corn behind,”
said DeVorss.
He opened Kerbyville Farm in 1991, start-
ing with absolutely nothing but an old Ford trac-
tor, selling corn and tomatoes out of a bay in the
garage.
“I didn’t have much knowledge,” DeVorss
reminisced, “but I kept at it, and with time, per-
sistence and God’s blessing I made it.”
DeVorss will be selling Walla Walla onions,
blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, sugar snap
peas, corn and summer squash. His grandson,
will run the bakery, and his mom, “the craftiest
person ever born,” will have her items for sale at
the gift shop.

The Selma Farmers Market has a fun and
festive day planned for its grand opening on Sat-
urday, July 10 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The sixth season will begin with musical
entertainment, Suri Futures alpacas, and chil-
dren’s activities with their own mini-exchange
market.
Market Café food court will offer a variety
of food choices. They are to include Amanda’s
“Naked Truth” cobb-oven pizza, and Angie and
Todd’s homemade kettle potato chips.
Selma Farmers Market is under transition,
says market manager in-training Charles “Otter”
McSweeney, whose mission is a “reorganization
of the farmers market. It’s designed to get in
sync with the needs of community, and to pro-
vide a location open to eve-
ryone,” said Otter.
New this year will be a
“community resale mar-
ket,” an upscale swap-
meet/flea market scheduled
to open Saturday, June 26.
During the grand opening, Selma Farmers
Market will offer free space for growers and
artisans to showcase their produce and crafts.
“Maybe, just maybe, this will be the year
you will market something you created or pro-
duced,” is Otter’s call to growers and artisans in
Illinois Valley.
Organizational meetings for Selma Farmers
Market are held Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. at Selma
Community Center. For more about this weekly
community event, phone Otter at 541-597-2183.

Capital program gives business BOOST
“Business Oregon” officially has launched
a program -- BOOST (Building Opportunities
for Oregon Small Business Today) Fund -- to
offer more resources to help Oregon small busi-
nesses access much-needed capital.
The Legislature created BOOST during its
special session earlier this year when it passed
House Bill 3698 sponsored by House Majority
Leader Rep. Mary Nolan (D-Portland). The
program, administered by the Oregon Business
Development Dept. (Business Oregon), is de-
signed to promote better access to working capi-
tal that results in immediate job growth and job
retention.
Business Oregon will provide small busi-
nesses with loans for businesses seeking perma-
nent working capital, and grants for businesses
that can create new, permanent full-time jobs in
Oregon.
For more information on BOOST and the
resources available for Oregon businesses visit
www.oregon4biz.com/Business-financing-
resources/Oregon-Finance-Programs/BOOST-
Fund/.
“Small business owners spoke, and we lis-
tened,” said Nolan. “We heard time and time
again that to create jobs for Oregonians we
needed to increase access to working capital for
Oregon small businesses. BOOST will help
Oregon businesses hire Oregon workers.”
Business Oregon officials have begun ac-
cepting applications for BOOST funding in con-
junction with the end of the 90-day implementa-
tion period prescribed in the legislation.
The BOOST loan program is a revolving
loan fund that provides up to $150,000 in fixed-
rate financing for up to four years for small
businesses in need of operating capital and that
have fewer than 100 employees. Loan proceeds
may be used to support daily operations such as
rent or mortgage payments, utilities, marketing
expenses and certain fixed assets including
equipment.
Participants must be a traded-sector busi-
ness in manufacturing, processing or distribu-
tion. Loans must be secured with collateral.
The BOOST grant program will award
grants as an incentive to Oregon businesses that
create new, full-time jobs in Oregon. Businesses
with 100 or fewer employees must create and
retain new full-time jobs for at least six months;
must be a traded-sector business in manufactur-
ing, processing or distribution; and must demon-
strate that comparable wages are provided to
their employees.
Up to $2,500 may be awarded to an appli-
cant for each full-time job created and retained,
with an annual maximum of $50,000 per appli-
cant in a calendar year.
“Business Oregon’s number-one priority is
to do everything possible to help existing Ore-
gon businesses retain their current workforce
and to create new job opportunities for Orego-
nians,” said Director Tim McCabe. “With the
BOOST program, the Legislature has given us
an important tool we can use to help Oregon
small businesses throughout the state.”
RCC to award Federal Direct Loans
Rogue Community College will begin award-
ing Federal Direct Loans in the 2010-11 academic
year, which will start Monday, July 12.
Federal Direct Loans have the same basic
terms and conditions as Federal Family Educa-
tion Loan (FFEL) program loans previously
available at RCC. But they offer additional
benefits such as an income-contingent repay-
ment plan and loan forgiveness for public ser-
vice.
And instead of a bank loan, the U.S. Dept.
of Education lends the money directly through
the school.
Anyone who has not previously received a
Federal Direct Loan must complete a Master
Promissory Note (MPN), which can be com-
pleted electronically at https://studentloans.gov.
Only applicants who have been issued an
Award Letter or Eligibility Notification from
RCC are eligible to apply.
RCC generally will certify maximum eligi-
bility for the current or future term. Students
have the right to request a partial or full cancel-
lation up to 14 days after the loan is disbursed.
Direct loans and FFEL loans generally have
the same annual and aggregate limits, the same
deferment and cancellation provisions, and most
of the same repayment plans (standard, gradu-
ated, extended, income-based). The interest
rates for FFEL Stafford loans and direct subsi-
dized and unsubsidized loans are also the same.
Direct loans also have some benefits that are
available only in the direct loan program:
*Up-front interest rebate.
*Income contingent repayment plan (plus
the income-based repayment plan).
*Public service loan forgiveness program.
*No interest charged (for up to 60 months)
during qualifying periods of active duty military
service (for loans first disbursed on or after Oct.
1, 2008).

Mini-grants available to fund 9/11
Service and Remembrance projects
To promote “an ethic of service, volunteer-

the 9/11 National Day of Service and Remem-
brance, grants of up to $500 for intergenera-
tional service projects that address issues sur-

membrance Mini-Grants Program is designed to

qualify for a grant projects must:
*Focus on addressing Hunger in Oregon.
*Actively engage intergenerational groups
and volunteers in the planning and implementa-
tion phases.
*Include an educational and/or reflective
component to help raise participants’ awareness
of causes and costs of Hunger in Oregon.
Projects also must strive to meet the goals
of the 9/11 National Day of Service and Re-
membrance, which are to honor the victims and
heroes of 9/11, and rekindle the spirit of unity
and compassion that followed the attacks.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organiza-
tions and public entities in Oregon, and National
Service programs including AmeriCorps and
Senior Corps. Businesses, community groups,
and other organizations without 501(c)(3) status
wishing to apply for one of these grants are en-

organization in order to participate.

and create light for understanding and awareness.
