CCB license deadline new
(Continued from page 1)
Important Construction Contractors Board (CCB) rule
changes will go into effect Sunday, Oct. 1 including one af-
fecting those who satisfied their education requirements, but
have not taken the mandated test to obtain their contractors
license or applied for their license.
The new rule establishes the period of time which the
training/testing is valid in order to receive a CCB license. The
rule establishes that the training and testing shall be valid for a
period of 24 months from the date the training was completed.
The “date of class” within the data entry system will be
the date the training was completed. That date begins the
countdown for the student to become licensed. This change
did not allow for grandfathering.
This means that anyone who completed their education
and has not obtained their license within the two-year period
will be required to repeat the training.
Those who took their contractor education class from the
RCC Small Business Development Center, can phone 956-
7494 to determine the date they completed the class.

“The weekend excur-
sion represents a fabulous
start for Deer Creek Field
Station,” said Jones Jules.
She is married to Erik Jules,
and was indirectly involved
in the ground-breaking field
trip, but not as a representa-
tive of the forest service.
Siskiyou Field Institute
and Southern Oregon Uni-
versity at Ashland are part-
ners with Deer Creek
Ranch. Their goal is to
make it a central focus for
students at all levels to study
and learn about ecology and
other wilderness topics.

The tax cut results from
HB 2127, which the gover-

and signed into law on June
8, 2005.
“Oregon’s economy is
one of the fast-growing state
economies in America, and
more Oregonians have jobs
today than anytime in our
state's history,” the governor
said. Lower unemployment
means less demand for un-
employment benefits, and
lower costs for employers,
he added.
“Even though Oregon
has gained more than
117,000 new jobs during the
past three years, my goal is
to ensure that more Orego-
nians share in the benefits of
our economic recovery,” the
governor said. “One way to
do that is to reduce the ex-
pense of unemployment
insurance and help employ-
ers add new jobs.”
The change in the rate
schedule does not necessar-
ily mean every employer
will pay less.
Oregon Employment
Dept. will calculate indi-
vidual employer rates,
which will be sent Nov. 15.

No commercial timber
harvest is planned, and no
use of heavy equipment is
proposed for the project. No
new roads will be built be-
cause a “comprehensive”
system of roads, the result of
50 years of timber harvest in
the area, “provides ready
access to most of the land-
scape under consideration
for treatment,” Bode said.
Bode also noted that the
proposal “can be excluded
from documentation in ei-
ther an environmental as-
sessment or environmental
impact statement.” This de-
cision, based on the pro-
ject’s size (not in excess of
4,500 acres), and because of
hazardous fuels reduction
work, is deemed to have
“limited detrimental envi-
ronmental consequences.”
As such, Bode expects
to announce her decision in
a Decision Memo to be is-
sued shortly after the end of
the comment period.

Oct. 15 deadline for comments on hazardous fuels plan
Comments are due by
Sunday, Oct. 15 regarding a
proposed Galice Ranger
District hazardous fuels re-
duction project approxi-
mately 5 miles southwest of
Grants Pass.
The Waters #2 and
Round Prairie Creek project
area is within the wildland/
urban interface of the “at-
risk-of-wildfire” communi-
ties of Wonder and Wilder-
ville. The treatment area is
largely within the headwa-
ters of the Waters Creek,
Newt Gulch and Round
Prairie Creek watersheds.
Some small portion of
the proposed project area
straddles a ridge, and so a
few acres would be affected
within the Slate, Limpy, and
Dutcher Creek drainages.
The proposed hazard
fuel reduction would
“authorize three discrete fuel
reduction treatments (or
work phases), which would
be implemented periodically
during the next 10 years,”
according to Pam Bode,
district ranger for the Rogue
River-Siskiyou National
Forest.
Those specific treat-
ment actions -- which would
affect 2,164 acres -- are
