Kulongoski de- ployed the Oregon National Guard’s 41st Brigade Com- bat Team to Afghanistan last week, marking the larg- est overseas deployment of the Oregon Guard since World War II. “I can tell you that send- ing nearly 1,000 of our best- trained, best-motivated, best-equipped soldiers on a long overseas deployment will be no small loss for Oregon,” Gov. said, ad- dressing hundreds of sol- diers, sailors and airmen from 31 other states, in addi- tion to the Oregon Guard personnel. “From fighting forest fires to helping with search and rescue, the 41st and the entire Oregon National Guard is indispensable to Oregon,” he said. As part of Operation Enduring Freedom, the 41st Brigade Combat Team will help train Afghanistan’s military during the year- long deployment. The same unit deployed to Louisiana for nearly two months in the aftermath of Hurricane “Katrina,” where it assisted with relief efforts. “As the 41st undertakes this long and difficult de- ployment, I can tell you that we will not only miss their talent and dedication, we will miss their fighting spirit-the same spirit with (Continued on page 18) THE SHINING STARS presented Picnic in the Park on Saturday, June 3 as a fund-raiser for the skating facil- ity and other projects to benefit valley youth.

(Photos by ‘Illinois Valley News’) Mucho marijuana seized by OSP close to Gold Hill Marijuana valued at $150,000 was seized by Oregon State Police near Medford in a significant incident on Interstate 5. OSP troopers, assisted by a narcotics detection ca- nine, seized approximately 200 pounds of marijuana concealed in a pickup truck during a Sunday afternoon traffic stop on I-5 in the Medford area. The driver was not charged as of Tuesday, June 6, and the investigation is continuing. OSP said that on June 4 at approximately 2:40 p.m., OSP Trooper Brandon Boice stopped a 2006 pickup for a traffic violation northbound on I-5 near milepost 37. During the contact with the driver, a 31-year old white male from Vancouver, Wash., Senior Trooper Bill Matson and Detective Dave Beck, with his drug dog “Beepers” joined Boice. As Beck walked “Beepers” around the pickup, “Beepers” alerted to the pickup’s exterior area. Examination by troopers led to the discovery of nine packages containing ap- proximately 200 pounds of marijuana. The driver was detained for further investigation and released. The vehicle and marijuana were seized. Esti- mated value of the seized marijuana is approximately $150,000. OSP Drug Enforcement Section detectives are con- tinuing the investigation so additional details may not be released to prevent compro- mising the case. This case is believed to be one of the largest mari- juana seizures during a traf- fic stop by OSP. The largest case occurred April 4, 2005 when a trooper stopped a pickup on I-5 southbound in the Salem area and seized approximately 323 pounds of marijuana. Two men were arrested in that case. Drug seizures have steadily increased during the last two years during traffic stops by OSP troopers. Sig- nificant cash and drug sei- zures have occurred on in- terstate and secondary state highways, including several involving drug dogs part- nered with OSP patrol troopers. Approximately 18 months ago, OSP Patrol Services Division added four dogs to assist with nar- cotics detection. “Beepers” is a fifth dog assigned to the Drug Enforcement Section.
