Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, December 19, 2018 CITY ... Continued from A-1 In other news, city recorder Rebecca Patton, reported that she was successful in negotiating a new stream of revenue for the city through an amendment to the city’s Ground Lease Agreement with Cingular Wireless who is adding T-Mobile and Verizon to their tower. The two additions to Cingular’s tower will generate $1,400 in monthly rent for the city’s coffers. In addition, Cingular has agreed to pay a conditional signing bonus of $55,000, which will be used for the purchase of property adjacent to the Jubilee Park for expansion, as well as funding part of the cost of replacing lighting in the ballfield at the park. Councilors Miles and Bosch expressed dismay over a mid-day live news report from KDRV12 which cast Cave Junction in a negative light (high crime), with Miles stating that “our job as leaders in the community is to ensure that we’re branding our community accurately. People misrepresenting our city have gone on for far too long. We have a sheriff’s department who is moving forward, a chamber of commerce that is moving forward, and a lot of really positive things happening in the Valley. We can’t allow the media to continue to broadcast the negativity about our Valley where none exists.” Mayor Dalegowski agreed and said the reporting had been sloppy, news stories need to be grounded in fact. Residents of the Illinois Valley are encouraged to call the KDRV news desk to let them know how unhappy they are with the reporting. The number to call is 541-773-1212. Dalegowski’s closing comments reflected that he really appreciated being given the chance to be in the position of mayor. He thanked the city councilors and staff for their input, help and integrity. The massive talents and responsibility will go forward. A workshop to prepare the final draft proposal for the MOU will be held Friday, Dec. 21, from 4-6 p.m.; and the next city council meeting will be held Jan. 7, 2019, to swear in the new mayor, Meadow Martell and elect a council president.

Sim- ple things like ribbons and tinsel can result in an intestinal blockage. Another hazard associated with the holidays is poisoning. Poinset- tias, holly and mistletoe are toxic to cats and dogs. Some additives sold to help hydrate the Christmas tree are prepared with chemicals that are caustic to animals. Chocolate is another toxin many animals, espe- cially dogs, become poisoned with at this time of year. Even in small amounts it can be deadly. Pets will frequently drink out of glasses or eat whatever might be sit- ting out on the counter (such as raw bread dough), the alcohol and the yeast ferment in the stomach and can cause tremors, coma and death. Those Christmas turkey bones can Pet Safety during the Holidays: As the holidays approach, we need to pay special attention to the safety of those four-legged members of our family. Their health impacts our own, as we look to them for com- panionship and love. Here are a few precautions to keep in mind as you prepare for the holidays. Pets are fascinated with all the new items around the house. They usually ex- plore them by chewing and tasting and often (unfortunately) by swal- lowing. These objects wreak havoc in the gut and the results can range from slight diarrhea to an explosive bout of vomiting. The worst situa- tions are when the object swallowed becomes lodged in the bowel or the glass ornament cuts into the gut.
