What kind of art do you feature?
Photos. Digital and 35mm. Some of them have
been enhanced using Photoshop’s watercolor filter to
simulate a painted photo.
Do you only sell photos?
No. I have several displays of blown glass artwork
that were created by my son, Darby, and daughter-in-
law, Lila Holm, of Grants Pass.
Why did you choose to go into this business?
I always wanted to go into retail; the idea popped
into my head and I went with it. My family has been in
the glass blowing business for seven years, and I had a
dream to do some kind of family marketed business.
Do you feature only local artists?
No. Most of the artwork is local, but there are pho-
tos from artists outside of this area as well.
How long have you lived in Illinois Valley?
Thirty-three years. I was traveling, and somebody
had a place for me to stay, so I stayed.
Where did you move from?
Texas. That’s where I am from originally.
What do you like about living in the valley?
The natural beauty. Nowadays, it is hard to find
unspoiled places like we have. Most people would give
their right arm to live in a place like this.
Do you have any pets?
Well, no, but we do live in “Wild Kingdom” -- you
know, deer, raccoons, fox. We have Jane Doe and her
twin children, Flora and Fauna, and their Auntie
Cookie Doe who come through our yard.
What do you do in your spare time?
I’m a silly grandma. I have three grandkids I hang
out with.
Are you married?
Yes, I have been married for two years, but have
known my husband for 33 years.
What is your favorite kind of ice cream?
Ben and Jerry’s N.Y. Chocolate Chunk Fudge.

The release of their
renewed eight-year policy,
the Forestry Program for
Oregon, has been an-
nounced by the Oregon
Board of Forestry (OBF)
and the Oregon Dept. of
Forestry (ODF).
The plan is updated
and released approxi-
mately every eight years in
response to two years of
intensive internal discus-
sions as well as open house
meetings held throughout
the state to collect public
comments.
The comprehensive
policy contains a mission
statement to provide for
environmentally, economi-
cally, and socially sustain-
able forest management,
the agencies said.
The new edition marks
a milestone for Oregon,
making it the first state to
adapt to internationally
recognized criteria for use
in discussing and measur-
ing forest issues at the
statewide level. The plan
addresses all 28 million
acres of Oregon’s private
and public forestland.
The strategies devel-
oped by ODF address laws
and government, social
and economic benefits,
forest productivity, soil
and water quality, native
plants and animals, forest
and watershed health, and
carbon storage.
The plan was devel-
oped using a concept that
recognizes that different
lands need to play different
roles in achieving and sup-
porting sustainability. The
roles include wood produc-
tion forests, multiresource
forests, reserved forests,
and residential value for-
ests.
“The Forestry Program
for Oregon describes the
board’s vision for the fu-
ture of all of the state’s
forest resources -- the val-
ues that guide the board’s
decisions on forestry is-
tion, Scandia National
Laboratories, Lawrence
Livermore National Labo-
ratory, and FAA.
“The FAA is interested
in installing our systems in
its ASR-8 flight control
radar system,” said Martin
Glasband, Equi=Tech’s
president and chief engi-
neer.
“We are pleased with
this development,” he said,
“because of the advance-
ment this indicates, and the
fact that the U.S. Govern-
ment recognizes its own
patent issues.”
Since
2002,
Equi=Tech’s balanced
power technology has been
recognized for all sensitive
electronic applications per
Article 647 in the 2002
National Electrical Code.
Prior code issues limited
the scope of balanced
power to audio/video-
related equipment only.
“Many other industries
are discovering what the
audio industry already
knows,” said Glasband,
“which is that Equi=Tech’s
balanced power standard is
the power standard for the
future.”

All of Oregon’s 28
million acres of
forested land
are in the plan.
*Active fuels and
vegetation management,
along with aggressive
wildfire suppression, as
key tools to manage forest
health on public and pri-
vate forestlands.
*During Oregon forest
policy development, the
board will consider poli-
cies in the context of the
Oregon environment and
economy, but also in the
context of the global envi-
ronment and economy.
*Congressionally ap-
proved experiments in
Oregon and other states
where communities are
empowered to demonstrate
their stewardship of federal
forestlands and are held
accountable for the results.
*Renewed, long-term
watershed research to
study the effectiveness of
current forestry manage-
ment practices providing
protection for soil and wa-
ter resources.
*Collaboration with
state, federal, and tribal
agencies, universities, con-
servation groups, and pri-
vate land owners to pro-
mote a science-based,
statewide assessment that
evaluates the characteris-
tics, conditions, and trends
of native plant and animal
populations and habitats on
all land uses and owner-
ship classes.

Program for Oregon may
