Continued from A-8 Community organizer Tim Leyba told fire managers that Cave Junction’s radio sta- tion, KXCJ, 105.7 FM, can provide “hourly updates” on fire conditions or provide alerts - and East Zone Public Information officer Karen Ripley was very interested and will coordinate with Leyba. Cave Junction Councilwoman Lind- sey Gillette also noted a calmer energy at the meeting and said, “Thoughts of smoke and fire can bring up panic. But if we just follow the information being given to us and not get too far ahead of ourselves, that can help us stay calm and make better decisions.” Gillette, who also teaches yoga, ex- plained how “people can help connect themselves to the present moment by being more conscious. Maybe first feel their butts on their chair to help bring them into their body. Otherwise you can just spiral away and you could be at a meeting and not really even hear what’s being said.” Toward the end of the meeting, discus- sions turned political and the fire officials kept “passing the buck” by handing the mi- crophone off to Josephine County Commis- sioner Lily Morgan. “That’s why they pay me the big bucks,” she quipped, before adding, “this is the first time all of Oregon is on fire at the same time. I believe there will be a lot of looking at policy. People have many opin- ions on what we should do about it.” She added that, “tourism is the No. 3 industry in Oregon, worth billions of dollars. But not with this smoke.” Then Monday morning, Oregon Na- tional Guard members honored the 16th an- niversary of the Sept. 11 tragedy at the Lake Selmac fire camp by raising the American flag to full staff and solemnly lowered it back to half-staff in remembrance of fire- fighters and others who lost their lives that day.
