Regional Roundup
by Cleve Twitchell
Mail Tribune Regional Editor
We performed our civic duty the other night. We re
portcd a traffic accident to the proper authorities.
We were sitting in the living room of our home at the
corner of two roads in the Central Point rural area when
we heard a screech followed by a wham and a couple of
thuds. Then as we were getting up to go out and investigate,
a pair of headlights flashed by and a car zoomed off.
When we got outside with a flashlight we found no sign
of any other car, but a number of mail boxes and a couple
of fence posts at the corner had been knocked over. (A stack
of Mail Tribune tubes came through unscathed.)
Speeding to the telephone, we notified the Jackson Coun
ty Sheriff's Department of what had transpired, describ
ing it as a hit-run with a fixed object. At least we thought
that was the proper police terminology for the thing.
The deputy who later came out to the scene was sharp.
We couldn't help him much. He wanted to know if we could
identify the make of the car from the brief glimpse we'd
gotten of its headlights. We couldn't. Then he spotted some
red paint on the fence and mail box posts. Next he noticed
that the paint was. quite near the ground but not higher up
on the post. So he surmised that a small car was involved.
He strengthened this assumption by checking the skid-marks
. on the pavement. They indicated that the car had a small
wheclbase. The driver had come down one road, attempted
a left turn at high speed and missed.
It appeared that the fellow had taken off in the direc
tion of Central Point, so the deputy went that way too, look
ing for a small red car with damage to its right side.
At last report, no small red car with a bashed in side
has been found.
Meanwhile, a group of residents yesterday moved the
mail boxes and newspaper tubes to a different part of the
intersection.
Sportsw ritcr for a Day
Priscilla Averill, our Grants Pass correspondent, recent
ly launched and then retired from a career as a sports
writer. Her career lasted one day. Sports Editor Dick
Jewett was eager to have someone cover the Medford
Grants Pass Paunch Bowl game over there on Dec. 8. Mrs.
Averill was glad to oblige. We left a telephone message for
her the day before the game, and when she returned from
an errand she found a note which had been painstakingly
copied down by her 9-year-old son John. The note advised
her to call the "spots ededer" or "Dave Twichle" Monday
morning with the story on the game.
"Now I am the sort of person," Mrs. Averill wrote
later on, "who can sit right on the 50-yard line watching
everything and STILL not know who is doing what with the
ball, so this did seem to pose a problem but not for
long. I finally figured that if I stayed home and listened to
the game on the radio, that would TELL me what was go
ing on, and I could cull it from there.
"Good thinking, huh? Well, came kick-off time and I
got out my pad and pencil, turned on the radio and got a
play by play description of activities in a Baptist church in
Chicago. Since Grants Pass is a particularly sports-happy
town, it hadn't dawned on me that for any reason the game
might NOT be broadcast!
"By then the rain was pouring down, and I had no way
of getting to the football field, the rest of my family having
long since left for the game with the car.
"If worse came to worse, I knew 1 could always get the
story from my husband, who was one of the officials, but I
also knew he much prefers not to mix into things that are my
business. Just by dumb luck 1 finally stumbled onto the
perfect solution. After the game had ended, I cornered a
bunch of the key players from both sides in a local restau
rant where they had gathered to rehash the game. This is
why, when I put in my call to the 'spots ededer' the follow
ing 8 a.m., I was able to make like a Monday morning quar
terback. But I'm afraid my career as a 'spotswriter' was
destined to end on the day it began."
New Fire Station
Being Constructed
By Hornbrook Men
HORNBROOK Members of
the Hornbrook Volunteer Fire
Department last week began
construction of a new fire sta
tion for this community.
The beginning of the work
marks the culmination of sev
eral years' efforts on the part I
of many local citizens.
Since the labor is being do-'
nated on a volunteer basis, no
definite completion date has
been set, but the men are striv
ing hard to finish the building
as soon as possible. The work is
being supervised by Carl Cum-i
mins. !
Of wood structure with alumi-;
num siding and galvanized roof
ing, the building's dimensions
are 40 by 34 feet. It is located on
land owned by the Southern Pa
cific railroad, and leased from
them for the sum of $30 annual
ly. The railroad recently cleared
the land of all their buildings.
When completed, the building
will house the two fire trucks
and the tanker owned by the
community.
The tongue of the gecko liz
ard is so long that the reptile
can use it to wash its eyes.
