The Keep Oregon Green
Association cautions Orego-
nians to use extreme caution
when visiting forests this sea-
son:
“Although it seems as
though it should still be wet
enough to eliminate fire dan-
ger, 45 human-caused wild-
fires already have been fought
and suppressed by Oregon
firefighters.
“Many Oregonians love
the great outdoors, and no
matter what the recreational
activity, sitting around a
campfire is one of the special
times we all enjoy.
“During the 2009 wild-
fire season, however, 116
escaped or abandoned camp-
fires burned more than 200
acres on state and private
land. Here's what you can do
to avoid causing Oregon’s
next wildfire:
“If fires are allowed
where you will be camping,
and you choose an undevel-
oped campground, here are a
few suggestions to ensure that
your campfires will be safe.
*When selecting a site
for a campfire, avoid areas
near buildings, fallen trees,
tree trunks, or low overhang-
ing branches.
*Scrape all leaves and
litter away down to bare earth
for at least 5 feet on all sides
of the fire. Dig a pit in the
center of this circle and sur-
round it with rocks.
*Build your campfire
downwind and at a safe dis-
tance from your tent. Never
leave it unattended, and after
you light it, throw your match
into the fire. If any sparks
escape the campfire, have a
shovel or rake handy to sup-
press them.
“When it’s time to leave
the campfire and head to bed
or back to town, make sure
you put the campfire out --
Dead out.
“*Drown all embers,
sticks, and coals, especially
those that might have fallen
under the rocks.
“*Stir the coals to make
sure that all heat has been
removed.
“*Drown the area again.
“Remember that wildfire
prevention is your individual
responsibility. Be alert to
weather conditions, especially
wind; and always be careful
with fire.
“Leave your fireworks
home -- they don’t belong in
the forests.”

Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church
In Luke 10, we read that
Jesus chose 70 followers to
spread the word of God. Jesus
told them to cure the sick
where they were welcomed.
If not welcomed, they
were to say publicly that even
the dust on their feet would be
wiped in protest against them,
and, “Yet know this: the king-
dom of God has come near.”
Also, “Whoever listens to
you listens to me, and whoever
rejects you rejects me, and
whoever rejects me rejects the
one who sent me.”
So it is for us. We are

IS IT EDIBLE? - What appears to be a Western Gray Squirrel was
entranced perhaps either by the promise of food from a picnic
lunch, or by seeing his reflection in the camera lens wielded by
Anno Bakker, of Holland. Bakker and his wife, Jo, were hosted
by Cave Junction residents Jack & Valerie Brown last week at
Oregon Caves National Monument. The Browns met the couple
during a recent trip to Holland, and their overseas friends came
to visit during their motorhome tour of the western U.S.
