Free Computer Classes Valued at $500 (one-time $10 materials fee) ‘Training Your Computer’ Airport goals outlined by manager THE RUSSIAN VALAAM MONASTERY Male Voice Ensemble presented a program of Russian Orthodox liturgical music and Russian folk songs at Immanuel United Meth- odist Church in Cave Junction on Friday night, April 23.

Walden backs ‘safety net’ payments The U.S. House Com- mittee on Agriculture last week held a hearing on the Secure Rural Schools Act of 2000 (PL 106-393), the critical “county payments” law that has been beneficial to Oregon’s 2nd District, as well as rural communities throughout the nation since its enactment in 2001. Congressman Greg Walden (R-Ore.), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health, submitted testimony for the hearing outlining the benefits this law has pro- vided and urging the com- mittee to support bipartisan legislation he introduced, H.R. 517, that would reau- thorize the Secure Rural Schools Act through 2013. “The Secure Rural Schools Act has been vital to rural counties not only in Oregon’s 2nd District, and our state as a whole, but also throughout the nation,” said Walden. “By providing a stable source of revenue for coun- ties unable to generate reve- nue as a result of non- taxable public land holdings, the federal government has taken a responsible course of action allowing for deliv- ery of critical services such as transportation and educa- tion in rural communities. “The law has been a tremendous success, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to en- sure its continuance through the passage of my legisla- tion.” In response to the pre- cipitous decline in federal timber receipts during the ‘90s, a portion of which used to go directly to coun- ties containing federal for- estlands to help offset losses in tax base and subsequent revenue, the act authorized an alternative, formula- based payment system. Eighteen of the 20 counties in Oregon’s 2nd District -- which covers eastern, south- ern and central Oregon and 60 percent of which is pub- lic land -- receive funds un- der the law. The act also established Resource Advisory Com- mittees (RACs), councils established to build partner- ships between local govern- ment, residents and federal government for the manage- ment of projects and activi- ties on federal forestlands. Projects approved by RACs have included fuels reduction, habitat improve- ment, watershed restoration, road maintenance and reha- bilitation, reforestation, (Continued on page 12) A new camping area and repainting buildings as needed are among short- term goals outlined to the Illinois Valley Airport Advi- sory Board during its meet- ing Thursday, April 21 at the airport. The presentation was by Alex Grossi, director of Jo- sephine County airports. He noted that funding is always an issue, but that he is opti- mistic about budgeting. Under goals to accom- plish during the next one to two years, among eight items, he listed: Continuing a sound maintenance program; con- tinuing to actively search for lessees for the airport and its industrial park, and conduct- ing an update of the Airport Layout Plan. Goals for two to five years include: Developing a fuel sys- tem; relocating Airport Road; constructing a cargo and freight ramp; and build- ing an east-west taxiway. Regarding ramps, Di- rector Lou Levison asked if that could not be moved up, as it could expedite getting an airport tenant. Grossi said the problem is that there are complications involved in obtaining the federal money necessary. He indicated that he would continue to review the situation.
