Start Valentine’s right Augustino will be pairing Cary’s chocolates with their wine In return for passing the levy Daniel pledges to do the following: bring the jail up to 185 inmates. By increasing the amount of available beds, Daniel will be able to properly intake all arrestees. Currently, most incidents result in the alleged criminal being released and cited to appear. Daniel’s office will also be able to hold the most serious and repeat offenders based on classification and offense of the offender. This levy brings up many of the conversations held in the past about how a levy will affect the people. “The people in the county that don’t have enough patrol, how does this translate to getting more patrols on the road?” asked Morgan. Daniel responded with “The proposal is, basically we are still going to be out there and the funds we currently spend on jail can move to patrol. Let the office show you what having 55 more incarcerated looks like. What it looks like when we can send offenders back to the county they have warrants in. Without the levy, our patrol division will be decimated.” During the conversation Hare brought up his concern for the juvenile justice and wanted to look into increasing the levy to help fund that program as well. “I want a solution that opens the juvenile corrections,” said Hare. Morgan and DeYoung seemed to be open to looking at an addition 9 cents to fund juvenile justice as well. “This right here targets every voter; everyone in the county uses the jail and everyone benefits from juvenile corrections,” said DeYoung. “It’s not a pretty picture, for 15 years we knew this was coming. This is not an emergency, this is catastrophic, but we need to build a budget on this reality,” said Hare. Cave Junction Patrol (CJP) spokesman Jimmy Evans feels that as an organization CJP is aware that all of us will be affected by any further loss of sheriff patrols, layoffs at the jail, and reduced incarceration rates. When asked what will happen if no funding comes in July, Evans responded, “I’m tempted to just simply scrap our citywide patrols in favor of returning our people to their previous neighborhood watch status. That would be the easy decision to make, of course, and not unwise when considering the safety of our patrol members if law enforcement remains improperly funded, and more so, if weakened to the point of no presence. As it stands right now, we’re continuing our patrols but looking at other techniques and tactics to both pre-empt property crime as well as lessen costs associated with loss after the fact.” Evans believes that elected representatives from the city of Cave Junction should “act now and not procrastinate (counting on passage of a county levy) in providing a plan for our own dedicated nocturnal police force—that’s what’s needed.” THE R *Applications accepted until February 15th.* THE RASKIN AWARD was established in 2016 by the Animal Shelter Advisory Board to honor the strong animal advocacy work that Carl Raskin and his family have done within our community.
