Page A-6 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, July 26, 2017 Street by street, road by road: by Jimmy Evans Secure Your Street From Property Crime... In support of the newly formed Illinois Valley Community Watch and Public Safety Outreach (IVCWPS) Cave Junction Pa- trol will utilize our labor and resources to promote, organize, train, equip and field volunteers for localized Neighborhood Watch/Pa- trols within the City of Cave Junction. IVCWPS is a community safety program spearheaded by Dennis Hoke (IVFD Chief], Guenter Ambron [Ken Rose Watch], Jimmy Evans [CJP] along with community leaders and neighbor- hood watch captains. There are three basic goals to the outreach: 1. Develop a means to share information between Neighbor- hood Watch groups. 2. Help current watch groups be more productive. 3. Help new individuals form a Neighborhood Watch. For now, Cave Junction Patrol’s role is three-fold: 1. Help establish street captains throughout the City of Cave Junction . 2. Equip our captains with the means to immediately report/ receive information with/from Cave Junction Patrol concerning suspicious activity (property crime) in their area. 3. Provide training. From our beginning Cave Junction Patrol realized that to be truly effective in downtown and residential areas, we needed both active participation from community residents within their respec- tive neighborhoods as well as the ability to provide for what’s truly required to lower property crimes in Cave Junction: overnight service(s) in the absence of law enforcement coverage. This is our effort to achieve these goals, and we hope you join us in this community-wide effort to make our city and valley safe—street by street, road by road. For more information on upcoming organization and training meetings: Call Jimmy Evans at 541-592-9665. Have you or someone you love ever felt unsafe in our valley?

The boys wanted to be seen and impress the girls, and the girls … well, same thing. It is coming a time of muscles for the guys and curves for the girls, and fun watch- ing for those who aren’t that curvy or muscu- lar any more. Like Bert and Maizie. Maizie looked over at her husband of 40-some years and smiled. “I can remember,” she whispered. “There was a time,” he smiled and nod- Bert and Maizie were down at the swimming hole on Lewis Creek the other day. Saturday it was. The sun was bright hot and these two lovers had found a nice patch of shade near the tire swing tree where they could sip iced tea and watch the youngsters. The little kids were in the shallow wading area, some in underwear, some in none-derwear, and all of them squealing and splashing. The kids who had turned 13 or 14, however, waited their turns at the tire swing. One by one they swung out, flashing in the body and the gray hair and the wrinkles. She saw the dark hair and the flashing eyes, and the muscles that carried him out into space and took him straight down into a cannonball that got even the old folks wet. And she reached over and took his hand and he gave it a squeeze. There has always been a lot of love at the old swimming hole. -------- For a great cup of coffee at home, check out MateoJo on Amazon.com. ded back at her. And when he looked at her, he didn’t see the settled body that plumped there after all the children and grandchildren. He saw the girl, Maizie, who almost took flight and jack- knifed into the deep part of the pool, and he could remember her coming up to the surface and shaking the water out of her long hair and smiling with the simple joy of being there and being alive. And when Maizie looked at her hus- band, she wasn’t seeing the puddling of his Church News Community Bible Church You Can’t Teach an Old Dog New Tricks Ephesians 4:20-24 (NIV) You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holi- ness. Over the years as I have met and talked to people, I have heard reoccurring themes. One of these “themes” is that “It is too late for me to change. I’m set in my ways and can’t do anything about it.” The truth is I have heard this from older people, but also from relatively young ones also. I have listened to them talk, but the conclusion a person comes to is simply that they don’t want to change or don’t want to make the effort to change. Here is the reality of the situation: I have seen people from young to old make drastic changes when the impetus was great enough. Even though the change may have been very, very difficult, these people instituted life-altering changes. Let me give you some examples: “You have cancer (or some other life-threatening disease)” – some people will change every aspect of their lives to live longer. “You’ve been laid off or terminated,” is a phrase that can certainly create changes in our lives. One of the situations that I have seen bring huge alterations in peoples’ lives is the effort made to escape a toxic relationship. Years ago I had someone tell me that they had sold most everything they owned, moved away, and left no forward- ing address to escape their family. Maybe the best I have seen is the change in peoples’ lives that comes after a salvation experience with Jesus, the Messiah. The blessed part of that change is that they don’t have to do it on their own, because God becomes their partner or leader as they seek Him. Change is possible for everyone, and more so for those who have the Spirit of God working in them. Do you need to make changes in your life, if not for your own sake, maybe for your children or grandchildren? Start today! If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31b) See you Sunday.
