LOOK OUT CITY! HERE COMES OUR PRES!
July 21, 2010
After many interviews the City of Cave Junction narrowed the more than 30 applicants down to one. Ryan Nolan '97 started his new career July 12th and will replace retiring Jim Polk, longtime Cave Junction Recorder and, incidentally, the spouse of Katie Musil Polk '73. Ryan is looking forward to the responsibilities of his new career as City Recorder, Teasurer and Elections Officer tackling such things as city council minutes, payrolls, account maintenance, agendas, budgets and other City importances. CONGRATULATIONS, Ryan! And Happy Retirement to Jim and Janie!

The city of Cave Junction will have a new recorder/treasurer after the current position holder, Jim Polk, retires in August.
On Friday, July 9, during an Illinois Valley Chamber of Commerce mixer at the Chateau at Oregon Caves National Monument, Mayor Don Moore announced that Illinois Valley resident Ryan Nolan has been selected for the job.
"The competition was tough," Moore said, indicating that his selection committee had done an excellent job of narrowing the field from 30-some applicants to four, whom he then interviewed.
Nolan, born and raised in Illinois Valley, is a 1997 graduate of Illinois Valley High School. He holds a bachelor of science degree in political science from Western Oregon University at Monmouth, and a master of arts degree in teaching from Southern Oregon University at Ashland.
Moore said that the new hire, through his involvement in a number of community organizations, demonstrates a civic-minded attitude that the mayor feels is important.
Nolan has been working as a substitute teacher at Illinois Valley High School where he also is involved with FFA.
"He's absolutely the best person I could have gotten for this job," Moore said. "It's important that whoever takes this job be around for a long time."

Lone Mountain RV
11/12/09: Glenn 75 and Lori Woodbury want you to know that their Lone Mountain RV Resort is open all year and you'll get a nightly 20% discount just because you're an alumni! Located just 300 feet off Redwood Hwy at 169 Lone Mountain Road in O'Brien, you'll find 32 spaces in a well-landscaped area of nearly four acres with an adjoining nature trail and creek. It has much more than the usual facilities, the O'Brien Store is on the corner, and the Culvers' famous McGrew's Steakhouse just across the road - that's Steve '66 and Suzie Bleser Culver '79. The property, in Glenn's family for nearly 100 years, was purchased by Herbert Woodbury in 1910, went to his son, Bill '46 in 1950, and to Glenn, Bill's son, in 1990. Glenn's terrific website is loaded with details and beautiful pictures. Check it out.

Win Mike's Doll House Five Bucks
a $cholarship Fundraiser
WOW! Meticulous Mike McDermott '59 has talent. And, boy, are we grateful! His works of
art are legendary in the Medford area where he and Mette reside. Since 2000 Mike's doll
houses have been a popular donation to the Festival of Trees, Providence Hospital's annual
fundraising event, where his creations are much prized. Now our scholarship fund will benefit
from Mike's largesse. To honor Oregon's 150th birthday, the 100th birthday of the Oregon
Caves, the 75th birthday of the Chateau, and his class of 1959's 50th anniversary reunion, he has
faithfully constructed a replica of the Oregon Caves Chateau.
Find it at the Illinois Valley
Visitor Center in Cave Junction where you can buy a raffle ticket for only $5. It will move to
our reunion breakfast at the Pavilion in Jubilee Park Sunday, July 5th where tickets can be
purchased prior to "the drawing ceremony" at Noon. Tickets are also available at Sterling
Savings Bank, the Oregon Caves, and will be available at the Kerbyville Museum during
scholarship voting week beginning Monday June 29.
