HASL is our local Center for Independent Living and it covers Josephine and Jackson counties. It is consumer-driven by demand and by a need and desire for representation by and for people with disabilities. Their sole governing mission is to maximize the quality of life for people with disabilities by promoting equal access and equal opportunity. Core services include training individuals to help them gain skills that will enable them to live more independently. They work to help with understanding your basic rights, to help facilitate access to services and to explore various eligibility criteria. HASL also works within the community to make changes that promote full inclusion in all areas of society. They were involved in the changes made to Forks State Park for accessibility.

Obituaries Jillian “Jilli” Chadd, 70, of Cave Junction died suddenly of a heart attack April 6, 2017, at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center. She was the widow of Lou Johnson who died in an automobile accident in September 2012. Jilli showed great courage in recent years working hard to overcome her health issues. Jilli was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and lived for some years in Northern Ireland and London, England. She came to the USA as an 18-year-old for a couple of years and never left. Her family in Australia and England will miss her terribly as will her friends in Cave Junction. Fred William Tokash Sr, aka “Big Daddy” NASCAR and baseball fan and the man who single handedly made Frito Lay the company it is today by his constant and frequent munching, fell asleep on April 13, 2017. He will be remembered for having a “unique” fashion sense much to his wife and daughter’s horror and regularly was stopped before going out in public and redirected. We apologize for not always succeeding. The best and wisest decision he ever made was cruising down the road and spotting, courting and marrying Patricia in 1959 and convincing her to spawn two children Fred Tokash Jr of New York and Shanna of Selma. He took full credit for being a great role model and was proud of being “Big Daddy” to them. Preceded in death by his mom and dad, Gladys and Louis; two sisters, Jolan and Louise; and sweet niece, Desiree. Leaves two grandchildren, Nicole and Cade and four great- grandchildren all of Texas. Special thanks to his “adopted” son Mark, Nancy, Uncle Ralph, Dennis and Dusty Johnston, Bob, Kenny and J.D. and our special hospice nurse, Tiffany and dog, Kiowa. No services at his request. Be kind to one another and eat some chips in his honor. Andrew Sam McGuire, 78 , of Grants Pass, passed away April 10, 2017 at Sutter Coast Hospital in Crescent City.
