When Dickson publically asked why Humphfres
spoke with this outside lawyer, without first consulting
the board, he claimed it was because he felt like he was
accused of wrongdoing in their previous public board
meeting. Dickson then accused him of using district
funds for legal council on a personal matter.
Humphfres, speaking on the matter of cost incurred
to the district, said that he was told that he was granted
a small window of free council time though he was
unable to corroborate such a claim. After the meeting,
Humphfres spoke with the lawyer’s office regarding the
bill and secured a discount, bringing it down to $406.
Since the board had no specific rule against such
an action they immediately made a motion to bar
incurring any expense to the district unless the entire
council is notified and takes a vote. The motion passed
unanimously at five to zero.
A third controversy arose when it was found that
Humphfres asked Jamie Paul, administrator and the one
responsible for crafting the minutes, to change certain
parts of the minutes without notifying the board. Though
official changes can be made to the minutes, the usual
process is that they are discussed by the board members
in a public meeting then they cast a vote deciding if
the changes are necessary. When Dickson asked why
Humphfres wanted to make the changes he said that the
wording was essentially misleading.
Lastly, the meeting prior to June 8 was recorded
by Paul with her own notes so that problems with the
minutes “wouldn’t happen again.” Up until this point,
board meetings were never actively recorded. She was
asked to do so by Humphreys who did not notify the
rest of the board. Dickson, not opposed to recording
current or future meetings, expressed her disapproval of
his action passionately saying that it was “courteous” to
inform people about such a change. The council members
then decided that, from now on, all Illinois Valley Fire
District public board meetings will be recorded.
When Humphfres was questioned as to his position
on the controversy he declined to answer any questions.
“The board doesn’t want to continue with any of this,
I talked to them about if they wanted me to make a
statement and they said, ‘Nope we’re moving on.’ That’s
where we’re leaving it at and I’ve got to go with what the
board says.”

On the surface Jeff Staab is like
many other fathers and husbands in
the Valley. Staab along with his wife
Sarah share a passion for parenting and
participating in the Valley. The two are
raising their three girls ranging in age
from 14 down to 6, and Sarah is the CJ
Farmers’ Market manager.
Staab a former steelhead and
salmon fishing guide, still likes to hit
the rivers with his buddies when he
is not coaching his daughters’ soccer
teams, Rolfing and occasionally
teaching Sunday school at St. Patrick’s.
What? Go back to Rolfing.
Rolfing, what the heck is that? While it
may seem that this is a new craze, it’s
actually been around for more than 50
years and you have Staab to thank for
bringing Rolfing to Cave Junction.
Rolfing as the technique is called
is often confused with deep tissue
massage, but it’s not really a massage
at all, it’s more like a chiropractor for
muscles. According to information from
the Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado,
back in 1916 when Ida Rolf earned her
Ph.D. in biochemistry from Columbia
University her research founded a
fundamental discovery about the body,
and its connective tissues called fascia.
Fascia supports muscles and holds
muscle and bone combinations in place.
In time the body loses its balance due
to posture, unnatural body motions
and simple accidents, Rolf’s technique
brings the body back toward its original
form.
“In some sense it has a greater
goal in mind. Rolfing looks to achieve
structural change in your body. The
general function of Rolfing is to get
things to let go, and for your body to
put itself in the proper alignment,”
Staab said. “When your body is not at
war with gravity, the body functions
pain, the 12-year-old athlete, the 85-
year-old grandmother and has helped
many others recover from injury and
pain.
Overall, Staab feels thankful to
have found his place within the Rolfing
community,“I prayed for work that was
meaningful and helpful to others and a
good means to provide for my family. I
am positive that God was listening and
blessed me with this.”

Rolfing or deep tissue massage,

with more ease.”
Staab, a Florida native, ended
up in Cave Junction around the turn
of the century and ended up finding
work as a fishing guide on the Rogue.
Oddly, it is fishing that really brought
Rolfing to the forefront. Staab had some
experience with Rolfing before the
career change. As a fishing guide Staab
found that many of the motions used
created profound discomfort and sought
a way to correct that.
For the past two years Staab
has been perfecting his technique and
recently put out his own shingle on
Redwood Hwy., next to Art’s Red
Garter.
Staab offers two result-orientated
therapies, which relieve pain and
enhance mobility, deep tissue massage
and Rolfing. According to Staab many
people come in with one issue that
needs attention, which he can address
with a standard deep tissue massage.
But for the more adventurous, Rolfing’s
10-session program is where you are
looking to get the maximum benefit.
“After the program is completed you
should feel that your body has let things
go and is in better alignment, and have
optimal function and mobility.” Each
session begins with Staab studying
the person’s posture. “I try to mimic
how they stand and move, I can feel in
my body where I need to work on the
clients’ body. I can feel the tightness so
I can adapt my treatment to focus on the
issue at hand.”
Even patients that come in for
work on a pre-localized area still may
get confused. “‘Why is he working on
my legs? It’s my shoulder that has pain.’
When you adjust one muscle it has an
effect on other muscles because the
body is a whole package,” said Staab.

treatments have benefited the contractor
