Page A-6 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, April 6, 2011 Backyard bird watching with Harry: Ok, we’ve talked about design- ing your birdhouse and building your birdhouse. Now it’s time for putting up your birdhouse. Here are some tips for you think about. • Try to face your birdhouse north or east to avoid overheating in the spring and summer. • Face your bird house away from the prevailing winds of winter. • Have water and food avail- able. • Do not place birdhouses to close to bird feeders. • If you birdhouse is light enough, mount bird house on metal poles rather than nailing them to trees or hanging them from limbs. Houses on metal poles are less vulnerable to predators. Be careful about the weight. You don’t want to bend your pole. • Birds can be a bit choosy in their future home. Some will inspect several houses before deciding on a particular one. You may wish to give the birds a few different decorative birdhouses to choose from, knowing that only one will be occupied. • It may take a year or two for birds to move in. (Be patient grass- hopper) If they don’t after two years, change its location. • Don’t forget to place your birdhouse where you can easily watch it from indoors and enjoy all the ac- tion. You can also attract several spe- cies with careful planning: sight of one another. • Keep about 100 yards between bluebird houses and 75 yards between swallow houses. • Use no more than four nest boxes/birdhouses per acre for any one species of small birds such as wrens or chickadees. • Use no more than one nest box/birdhouse per acre for any one spe- cies of large birds such as robins. • If you put up more than one, keep houses well separated and out of The above is from Wildbird.com and Harry Johnson My Place Café adds dinner hours By Darcy Wallace IVN Staff Writer At the end of February, My Place Café opened in downtown Cave Junc- tion in the building where Michelle’s café used to serve breakfast and lunch to Valley residents. After getting off to a roaring start, the café is now serving dinner on week- ends and is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Judy Thomas, a former Michelle’s employee, opened My Place Café in hopes of providing another choice for Valley residents. “Since I couldn’t get a job any- where else, I bought myself a job,” Thomas said. “We need more restau- rants in the [Valley].” Thomas said she thought the res- taurant would start slow and gradually gain more customers, “easing” into business. Instead, Thomas said the community response was far beyond what she anticipated. “The people of this community made it happen,” Thomas said. “It’s the good folks working here [at the restau- rant] and the people in the community who are supporting us.” Thomas hopes that opening a res- taurant will help provide jobs that have been missing for so many residents. She said she’d been looking for work for three months and thought this was an opportunity to employ more people in the area. Thomas said making food fresh from local ingredients was also a priority. “If it’s not on the menu I’ll make it for them [anyway],” Thomas said. “I want to keep [the café] simple and small. I want people to eat and have a good time.” Thomas said she added dinner hours when several customers said they were running out of dinner options. Af- ter about two weeks, it seems to be get- ting an equally strong response. “I want to provide a homey, com- fortable atmosphere and feed people good food,” Thomas said. “If it wasn’t for the people of this community I wouldn’t have a job.” Good Shepherd Lutheran Church One day long ago Jesus healed a man who had always been blind. He was born that way, and his only source of income as an adult was from begging. One complication regarding the healing event was that it occurred on a sab- bath day, which made cer- tain religious leaders upset. This healing became a sign of a deeper truth, however; that spiritual seeing and un- derstanding is even more im- portant than physical sight. The former blind man came to believe in Jesus as his Messiah. He remains a sign and promise that many other people -- who may see very well with their physical eyes, yet are deficient in spiri- tual sight and understanding; they too may come to faith in God through Christ Jesus.
