LAST WORDS - If you don’t have time to do it right, when do you have time to do it over? (Anonymous) (Continued from page 2) ing marriage rights to same-sex couples without lowering the importance of the rights of every individ- ual citizen in this country. We have the right and privilege in this country to live, express ourselves and worship the way we indi- vidually desire, as long as it does not intrude on the rights and lives of our fel- low citizens. I have found the following article by the governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, which I think does an excellent job. It was on the Internet on Meridian Magazine as the lead article Feb. 6. It reads in part: No matter how you feel about gay marriage, we should be able to agree that the citizens and their elected representatives must not be excluded from a decision as fundamental to society as the definition of marriage. In a decision handed down in November, a di- vided Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts detected a previously un- recognized right in our 200-year-old state consti- tution that permits same- sex couples to wed. I be- lieve the 4-3 decision was wrongly decided and is deeply mistaken. Contrary to the court’s opinion, marriage is not “an evolving paradigm.” It is deeply rooted in the his- tory, culture, and tradition of civil society. It predates our constitution and our nation by millennia.

LCDC gains Shetterly as its director Lane Shetterly, an Oregon state representative since 1997 and an attorney, was selected last week to direct the Oregon Dept. of Land Conserva- tion and Development, and will begin his duties on Monday, Feb. 23. The decision came during a special meeting of the Land Conservation and Development Commission three days after Gov. Ku- longoski recommended the LCDC select Shetterly. Shetterly will take over the department from interim director Nan Ev- ans, who led the office af- ter the February 2003 res- ignation of then-director Paul Curcio. Evans may remain with the depart- ment as deputy director. Shetterly served nearly four complete terms in the O r e go n Le g i s l a t u r e , representing House Dis- trict 23 (rural Polk and Benton counties). He also served as speaker pro tem and chairman of the House Revenue Committee dur- ing the 2003 session. During the 1999 legis- lative session, he was chairman of the House Ju- diciary Civil Law Commit- tee and a member of the House Revenue Commit- tee. He is also chairman of the Oregon Law Commis- sion. Shetterly was born in Dallas, Ore. After graduat- ing from Dallas High School, he attended Ore- gon College of Education (now Western Oregon Uni- versity), where he earned a bachelor's degree, with honors, in education. After teaching music at Gresham High School, he attended Lewis and Clark Law School, from which he graduated with honors in 1981. Following law school, Shetterly returned to Dal- las to practice law. His practice emphasizes busi- ness and estate planning. He is also legal counsel for the Dallas School District. Shetterly is married to Francine, a staff attorney for the Oregon Court of Appeals, and the couple has two children: Joel, 14, and Lauren, 11. When he was not serv- ing in the Legislature or practicing law, Shetterly enjoys running and music. He has completed four marathons and six Hood- to-Coast relays, and has performed with the Port- land Opera Chorus at Car- negie Hall. A recent editorial in the Salem “Statesman Journal” praised Shetterly for his consensus skills, saying he had a “knack for finding solutions both par- ties can live with.” The editorial also stated, “This paper’s edito- rial board hasn’t always agreed with Shetterly, but we respect the knowledge and energy he has poured into solving the budget crisis. We hope he will stay active in public life.” FRONTIER DSL Maximum Speed Internet THURSDAY, FEB. 12 *Chicken sandwich, cheeseburger, hamburger, turkey & cheese or ham & cheese sandwich; chef, Mandarin chicken or garden salad; Hawaiian, cheese or pepperoni pizza; beef soft tacos (pasta, meat & marinara sauce, breadstick) “ click ” You’re connected.
