checked Jubilee Park at 11:18 a.m.
*Sensitive souls are frustrated
by their neighbor in the 9300
block of Takilma Road, because
he plays drums and electric bass
guitar at odd, random hours. The
racket from a corrugated steel
gate, barking dogs, chain saws,
and weed whackers has been
disturbing enough. Now the smells
of garbage and human waste have
added to their torment. They are
requesting assistance from law
enforcement, as well as Department
of Environmental Quality. This

resources (BAR) by Josephine
County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO).
