What a disappointment to the children, but more than the children, Santa was heartbroken. Cave Junction Cares for the past 23 years has been so successful in our program that I pray that this next holiday season we can get back the trust. Cave Junction cares has been successful for 23 years only because of the wonderful volunteers and donor commitments. I’m back! And, we are going to do it right! Lynn Boucher, Coordinator Cave Junction Cares CJ Cares Now that the holidays for 2012 are over, I would like to “set the records straight” for the Cave Junction Cares program. I was ill and asked for volunteers to help me with Thanksgiving and Christmas. What happened was that a few (3) took the opportunity to “take over.” I did not step down, I was pushed! These “good people took over” and my understanding was that with a few aws, Thanksgiving went fairly well. But, my shock to find out the “do gooders” canceled Christmas! Shame on you! Because of this, about 500 people in the Valley missed out on breakfast and approximately 100 of these meals were not delivered to shut-ins and others who could not get to Jubilee Park for Christmas. 250 children did not get to see Santa for their new toys in the pavilion, and not to forget the approximately 100 children who believed Santa would be there. Our Two of the best “Letters to The Editor” ever written - by Mr. Kerivan and P. Kisiela I agree to stop fighting among ourselves. But do not stop fighting for our rights. To me, the constitution is still the law and no one should be able to change it. I will stand and fight. On, and by the way. One reason we are still a free country is because of the men and women that put their life for all, don’t ever forget it!!! Now then, for the tax dollars… Where do we get some bucks from? Well how about the many county-owned checks of land and unused buildings that should be sold to the public or a fair price that alone will bring in some big bucks. But again what would the 3 commissioners do with the money? Give it to the government hunter to hunt down the cougars and bears with dogs? The homeless, etc.? How about the sheriff? The jail etc… Net the general fund grab bag... it looks like this county is taking lessons from the sequester. Make us hunt as much as possible so we will tap or give in. To me, the sheriff’s budget means the sheriff’s checkbook only. Not the general fund. When the money goes to the sheriff, he then is held accountable. And we can see where the money goes. We can see normal patrol and jail time. Just imagine seeing druggies truce busted and doing real time. Not just a slap on the hand and turned out to started again. I’m not talking about cannabis; I’m talking about meth, etc. By the way, I believe growers would be happy to pay a tax on it. Oh my, guess what? Just maybe that money would be, in part, used for the sheriff’s budget? It doesn’t take a genius to figure it out. And why in the hell don’t we get land back from O.N.C.? O.N.C. broils the contract with the county’s and the timber there could put people and mills like Rough and Ready back into full swing again. Remember those days? We need to pay more attention to who we place in office in charge of our money. By the way, is your property within ¼ mile of the river, creek, and slough? Beware!!! You better read up on it and stand against it or lose it. Well folks, not enough said. But not really. Let’s take America back. See ya around. God Bless America.
