Oregon school's

challenge on fees

gets big attention


      CANYONVILLE — A Christian school’s complaint against the city government in this small Southern Oregon community is drawing both national and international attention — even getting a brief mention on Sir David Frost’s worldwide TV broadcast.
      Canyonville Christian Academy, a boarding school founded in 1924, has filed a discrimination lawsuit in Douglas County Circuit Court in Roseburg against the Canyonville municipal government for charging non-profit organizations a premium for water and sewer service.
       As reported by the Medford Mail Tribune and Roseburg News-Review newspapers, officials at the academy discovered recently that the city’s overcharges against the school itself amount to about $200,000 since 1988, which is as far back as records go.
