Continued from A-1 Due to changes in state law with House Bill 2198 and Senate Bill 1057, growers will be required to notify the OLCC and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) if they will remain with OMMP or will be transitioning to OLCC by Dec. 1. Should regulation follow through in Josephine County, transferring to the OLCC will not be an option on RR land. Because of further changes, medical operations that wish to stay with the OMMP can cultivate no more than 12 plants or for more than two patients, much less than what they’ve been able to grow in the past. The G SPOT Hump day Karaoke w/ Jammer Dave 8 - midnight Open Mic w/ B Thursdays @ 7 According to Julie Schmelzer, Josephine County community development director, growers will likely have a good idea whether or not their operation will be prohibited at the county level by the end of December and therefore should know whether or not to invest in another growing season. Should a grower fail to notify the OHA and the OLCC of their intentions for the season it will result in their OMMP registration not being renewed. The next step for this order is that it has to go through a planning commission hearing where it will be accepted as written, with amendments or rejected entirely. The hearing is scheduled to be Aug. 28 at 6 p.m. at the Anne Basker Auditorium in Grants Pass. tim & michelle from Taylor’s Country Store Friday, Aug. 7 Friday, Aug. 11 @ 9 p.m Saturday Pool Tourney @ 7 Fridays @ 6 p.m. eligible voters took part in the special election ballot that sparked the drafting of 2017-034.

The Cave Junction Farmers’ Market Board of Directors expressed in a press release to the Illinois Valley News their collective disapproval of the order and held that it will cause immense economic harm to the area without any substantial benefit. “This order will put many businesses at risk to lose their entire investments they and their investors had every reason to believe were safe.” Selma Center Drive - In Movies The Wizard of OZ rated G Every Wednesday J Barley According to a release from the Oregon State Police (OSP), Cave Junction resident Eric Atcher, 55, was found dead in his backyard the evening of Aug. 2, with a wound on the inside of his upper left arm.

At this time, there has been no discussion as to whether existing operations on RR properties will be grandfathered. “All we’re doing today is initiating the process,” Hare said, “That’s it.
