FIRE

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.
