An old problem has reared its head for the new Josephine County Board of Commissioners.

A week after the three-person Board of Commissioners regained full strength for the first time in three months, the commissioners found themselves being asked to give another round of consideration to a request by a Grants Pass couple to withdraw their property from the Josephine Community Library District.

Sherwood bolted to a 12-0 lead and Grants Pass never recovered as the Bowmen rolled to a 83-36 win in the first round of the Class 6A boys’ basketball state playoffs on Tuesday in Sherwood.

The Cavemen (11-12) made a 7-0 run early in the second quarter to make it 31-20 with 3:40 left in the half, but Sherwood, the Pacific Conference champions, increased the lead to 46-22 by the break.

The southbound Interstate 5 off-ramp at Exit 58 into Grants Pass will close at night for about a week starting on Monday from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Weather permitting, the nightly closures at the exit in north Grants Pass are expected to continue through Friday, March 13, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation.

The days are getting longer, and the nights are getting warmer, the perfect formula for a stroll through downtown Grants Pass or Ashland for first Friday visits to galleries showcasing new art exhibits.

Venues will be open from 5-8 p.m. on Friday, unless otherwise noted. Here are some highlights:
