*James R. Bellah, 39, was arrested in the
29000 block of Redwood Hwy. at 3:24 p.m.
Bellah was a fugitive with a warrant from
Grants Pass Department of Public Safety, and
he was detained at Josephine County Jail.
*The silver-colored Ford on Wood Creek
Road turned out to be a silver-colored Dodge
Neon, which was upside down in the creek.
The Neon appeared to have originally been
stuck in mud, then washed over by high water,
but it did not appear to be leaking fluids. Since
the Dodge was on private property, Schiffiler
Enterprises, LLC will bear the responsibility of
removing the car.

In a letter to supporters,
Hartmann wrote, “Voters understood
that by investing in the youth of today,
we are shaping Oregon’s citizens of
tomorrow. Hands-on learning in the
outdoors not only brings science alive,
it teaches children self-confidence,
leadership skills, collaboration, respect
for the land and responsible use of
our natural resources. Plus, kids get a
chance to “unplug” and have fun being
active outside!”
SFI has provided natural history
education for all ages for over 18
years. In anticipation of the new
program, SFI will be ramping up
capacity to serve more students in a
residential camp setting. Plans include
building bunkhouses that can be used
year round and adding a camp kitchen.

Training I.V. High School students to
be camp counselors and partnering with
Oregon Caves National Monument and
Southern Oregon University to develop
staffing and curriculum are also part of the
buildup to a more comprehensive program.
New field courses for adults in 2017
include hiking the Marble Mountains
or the Redwood Coastal Trail, studying
lichens at Lassen Volcanic National Park,
and birding in the Klamath Basin. Climate
science and solar technology will also be
added to the curriculum.
At the end of the presentation,
Hartmann announced that an anonymous
donor has pledged up to $6,500 as a
limited time challenge grant. The dollar
for dollar match has the potential to raise
$13,000.

the way it is,” he said.
“We’re still out patrolling
on the streets of Cave
Junction each night - and
this puts more pressure
on our smaller number of
volunteers. So if anyone
is interested in protecting
their town, we’d like to
hear from them.” To get
involved, call 541-592-
9665.
Lehman also
wants to hear from the
public when they spot
“bad activity, dumped
cars and garbage. If
neighbors identify
dangerous or unlawful
activity they should
report the incidents to
law enforcement right
away.” Lehman added
that people should utilize
the Cave Junction sub-
station to help track
criminal activity and to be
sure to leave a message
if calling outside normal
operational hours. “It
can take the sheriff’s
office awhile, but our
sub-station volunteers are
great about calling people
back. They’ll help people
complete police reports
and connect with law
enforcement officers.”
Call the sub-station at
541-592-5151.

Old Stage Park
formerly referred to
as ‘River View Park’
was conveyed to the
city by Josephine
County in 1980 with
a few restrictions:
one being that if the
40 acres ever ceases
to be a public park,
title to the land would
automatically revert
back to JoCo.
The park’s
current name
references back to
its historical use
as a river crossing
for wagon and
stage coach traffic
on one of the first
roads constructed
in Southern Oregon
that went through to
Crescent City. It was
utilized for hauling
supplies to gold
mining camps and
served as a primary
life line region-wide,
until the Oregon and
California Railroad
was constructed
in 1884. The road
remained in use until
1922 when Highway
199 was constructed.
“Old Stage Park
has great potential for
future recreational
development, including
walking trails, a small
RV camp, river access,
etc. However within the
current funding system
for parks and recreation
in Cave Junction, funding
for improvement costs
and maintenance have
not been feasible,” Nolan
said. “Old Stage Park
was never developed, but
in the past it was a great
spot for locals to access
the river. It has definitely
been a problem area for
several decades now,
with people dumping
garbage and camping
illegally. ...There have
been a number of times
that law enforcement and
city workers have cleared
the area of camping and
garbage and the city will
likely be looking to do
some brush clearing to
reduce the fire danger and
the ability to camp there
without being seen.”
Evans wants
neighborhood residents
to stay vigilant and hopes
more people will join CJ
Patrol. “Volunteerism is
at an all time low. It’s
like people are getting
used to this just being
