#2 Santa has been delivering presents to
children from O’Brien to Selma for about
20 years and now delivers presents to their
children who look forward to seeing him
on Christmas. 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,

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.
