Bundle up tight, and be very very quiet because we are hunting articles in the Archive Zone. Escape artist caught here after chase. Harold Dean Kaiser, 20, who had escaped from the clutches of police twice in Roseburg, is in custody in Grants Pass, where he has been bound over to the grand jury, on charges of burglary and larceny. He was the object of a search by law enforcement officers in Josephine County Saturday when road blocks were set up along the Redwood Highway. He was captured in a woods near Wilderville, after two warning shots had been fired by a deputy sheriff. The charges as outlined in the complaints in justice court are that Kaiser had stolen a Nash Rambler belonging to Alvin Hawkins and that he had burglarized the house of Jack Sauer, near Kerby. Hawkins and his wife were staying at the Sauer home near Kerby. When brought into justice court in Grants Pass bail was fixed at $5,000 on one charge and $2,500 on the second. He was lodged in county jail. Car Overturns; 3 injured here Wednesday. A man and wife and one son were lodged in Josephine County Hospital after an accident in front of St. Matthias Episcopal Church Wednesday afternoon. Another son, who was a passenger in the car, Wed.

Oct. 22 noon @ St. Mary’s IVHS Sheriff Daniel agreed. “If I ask for a million dollars, and I hire five to 10 deputies and train them for a year, then if there is that fiscal cliff and I don’t get any more monies and there are no more reserves left, it would be a complete waste of money and training for new people.” But couldn’t the sheriff stretch out that $1.5 million, just keeping on a couple of deputies over a longer period of time? The answer is no, according to Daniel. “Having just one deputy or two is not sufficient. There is a line financially where we are a ‘go’ and on the other side a ‘no go.’” But what about the state police? They’ve been taking up some of the slack so far, responding to 911 calls on nights and weekends. They’ll step up for us, right? Daniel is not optimistic. “The state is looking at a deficit of $1.5 billion that they have to make up this year. I can only imagine some of the monies have to come from the state police, and that’s a great concern of mine.” Finally we get to the third number, $10.2 million. This is the estimated amount that will be raised if the latest proposed safety level of $1.42 per $1,000 is approved by county voters. “This would be a drastic increase in the public safety budget,” said Daniel. But don’t get out the Champagne just yet. Josephine County voters have repeatedly refused to pass such a levy. At this point, door No. 2, $4.0 million, seems the more likely one we will be facing. What will be Sheriff Daniel’s strategy? “It costs between $4.2 to $4.5 million to run the jail alone … I would anticipate keeping 60 to 90 beds. Any less and we lose state funding. Thirty of those beds would be under city of Grants Pass contract, and most of the rest would be filled by the worst and most violent offenders. Offenders will come in through a variety of mechanisms, such as Oregon State Police, parole or probation revoked, and so on. And patrols? Daniel was blunt. “Patrols would be gone.” Even the special assignment deputies? “The Cave Junction contract would be terminated, as it would be unsafe for a single deputy without backup,” said Daniel. “And those grants funded by BLM, State Marine and Forest Service would likely continue, but they would be partnered in some way with their respective agencies’ personnel for safety.” “The only general assignment law enforcement personnel left would be Lieutenant Travis and myself.” Daniel added: “The numbers are scary, I know, but this office will continue to do everything in its power to stay alive, with the goal of providing the most professional public safety services possible. We will not quit or give up, down to the last person. We took an oath to protect and serve our citizenry and we will continue to honor that oath as long as we wear the badge or until funding dries up.” Correction: In a previous story we incorrectly calculated that the loss of Safe Rural Schools monies will result in a 36 percent cut in the sheriff’s office budget. According to Finance Director Arthur O’Hare, a 50 percent cut is more likely. Sheriff Department Budget $7,882,400 58 Personnel Patrol (12 personnel) Dispatch (3 personnel) Civil (3 personnel) Court Services (2) Adult Jail (34 personnel) Search & Rescue (1) Administration, Records, Evidence & Property (3) ALUMNI & FRIENDS (541) 592-3556 seems to have escaped injury. In the car were Mr. and Mrs. James McGill, of Burbank, Calififornia, his son Mike McGill, 5, and his wife’s son Ralph Moor, 2. Ralph was the one who escaped injury. The car in which they were riding left the Redwood Highway at the north end of Cave Junction, rolled over and over and landed almost at the front door of St. Matthias Episcopal Church. There was a drizzle of rain at the time and it is believed that the car skidded and the driver was unable to keep it under control. The car was completely wrecked and removed by the Banks wrecker. I.V. girl shot in leg accidently. Linda Hunter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Hunter of O’Brien, a sophomore at Illinois Valley High School, is at home recovering from a gunshot wound in her leg, after a hunting accident. A bone in the leg is broken. The accident happened Saturday about 13 miles from Lakeview. The girl had taken the gun from the pickup used on the trip and walked only a few feet from it. The bullet entered her leg just below the right knee and lodged above the ankle. It was from a 22 caliber gun. On the doctor’s advice no effort is being made at present to remove the bullet because it would mean cutting muscles. If the wound heals over satisfactorily she may keep the bullet as a souvenir of the trip. High school authorities were notified and were told that she may be able to be back in classes by next week. 541-472-4777 www.siskiyouhealthcenter.com 541-592-6220 541-592-4146 The Archive Zone: by Hillary Mohr from the Illinois Valley News archives Boys Soccer Tue.

Continued from A-1 The unfortunate reality of the marijuana industry is that it is still a federally illegal business and as such banks will not allow these businesses to open accounts. Though this is a serious problem it is not going unnoticed by government officials. In U.S. Senator Ron Wyden’s opinion, “…current federal laws are making marijuana businesses sitting ducks for violent crimes and perpetuating negative stereotypes.” He continued further by noting, “It is ridiculous to make any business owner carry duffle bags of cash just to pay their taxes.” Not alone in this opinion, U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley holds that, “Operating by cash is just an invitation to criminal activity and malfeasance. It’s not a good way of doing business.” However, despite all of this, areas with marijuana dispensaries continue to see decreases in both total crime and violent crime rates in Colorado and California and the frequency of their being robbed is currently overshadowed by theft of banks and liquor stores. At this time it is unclear if the same is true for Oregon but the trend is likely to repeat itself wherever legalized marijuana, either recreationally or medically, is established.
