“So we must now re-
double our efforts in
hand with this unique coali-
tion to reauthorize this legis-
lation. It is the lifeblood of
rural counties across Amer-
ica, who serve everyday as
stewards of our federal
land,” DeFazio said.
Noted Walden, “Nearly
100 years ago, the federal
government made a com-
mitment to rural counties,
and we intend to see that it
maintains it.

On Sunday, Jan. 14, the
Gospel reading will be from
John 2: (in part) There was a
wedding at Cana in Galilee,
with the mother of Jesus, and
Jesus and his disciples among
those present.
When the wine ran short,
at the urging of his mother,
Jesus changed the water in six
stone jars into wine. He did this
as the beginning of his signs at
Cana in Galilee, and so re-
vealed his glory, and his disci-
ples began to believe in him.

man DeFazio and I have led
a partnership of education
about how vital the county
payments program is. We
were deeply disappointed
that all our efforts last year
failed to reauthorize and
fully fund the program to
replace the funds lost by the
decline in federal timber
harvest.
“Since first introducing
this legislation together two
years ago, we’ve success-
fully educated both sides of
the aisle about the critical
nature of this program to
rural communities in Ore-
gon and throughout the
country. Awareness of this
importance is now very
high, and it’s time for
members of Congress to
will be held. Interment will be
at Forest Lawn Memorial Park
in Glendale, Calif.
She was born Julia Ridgely
on May 9, 1911 in El Paso,
Texas to Clarence and Erinea
“Irene” (Hollenbeck) Ridgely.
On Dec. 25, 1935, she married
Marion Cline, who predeceased
her. She owned and operated a
dry cleaning business in La
Crescenta, Calif. until the
1970s, and then worked as a
tailor until she was 80. She
moved to Cave Junction in
1996.
She was a member of East-
ern Star. She enjoyed sewing
and being with her family.
Survivors include a daugh-
ter, Charlotte Babson, of Cave
Junction; five grandchildren;
and two great-grandchildren. A
son, Roger Vernon Cline, died
before her.

unite behind a revenue
stream to fully fund the
program. There is no more
important issue to the health
of rural counties.
“Before passage of the
county payments law, Ore-
gon counties were receiving
payments as the result of
1908 and 1937 laws specify-
ing that the government
share 25 percent of U.S.
Forest Service (USFS) re-
ceipts and 50 percent of
Bureau of Land Manage-
ment (BLM) receipts with
counties in any state that
hosts Federal land from
which timber is cut.
“These payments had
been used to help finance
rural schools and
roads. Toward the mid-to-
late ’90s, however, the prin-
cipal source of those reve-
nues, federal timber sales,
declined by more than 70
percent nationwide. Conse-
quently, the corresponding
revenues shared with rural
counties throughout the
country declined precipi-
tously, hurting school and
transportation funding.
“During 2000, legisla-
tion to remedy this imbal-
ance was enacted into law,
establishing a six-year pay-
ment formula for counties
that receive revenue-sharing
payments for USFS and
BLM lands. The formula
established a stable source
of revenue, to be used for
education, roads and county
services in rural areas. The
safety net amount was based
on historical timber receipts.
“If counties elect to use
funding for projects on public
lands, the projects must be
developed by consensus and
approved by a Resource Advi-
sory Committee (RAC), a
group designed to ensure ex-
panded economic activity for
the resource-based communi-
ties benefit from this legisla-
tion. RACs are made up of
individuals from the local area
dedicated to directing a por-
tion of the funds for projects in
their respective regions.
“A county may also
choose to use funds for
search and rescue, commu-
nity service work camps,
easement purchases, forest-
related education opportuni-
ties, fire prevention, and
community forestry,” Wal-
den concluded.

sector partners to review this
information and our ap-
proach to search and
rescue efforts,” the governor
continued.

“I appreciate the exten-
sive time and efforts under-
taken during this search,” he
said, “and my goal for the
task force is to identify ways
to strengthen our coordina-
tion and communication in
the future in order to ade-
quately ensure the safety of
Oregonians and our visitors.”
The governor will ap-
point his taskforce following
completion of the sheriffs’
report.
New attitude for response
(Continued from page 3)
identify some of the juve-
niles. Herde contacted one
of their mothers and ob-
tained a confession.
“It was an easy one to
solve,” Thomas said. “We
did everything.” Her busi-
ness has been a popular tar-
get for thieves and vandals,
and it’s not the first time that
she has located suspects.
Thomas said that she
phoned JCSO to pass on
information from the most
recent incident.
“The next morning, we
called to give information,
and they said the case was
closed because it came up
and they couldn’t find any-
body,” Thomas said.
Messages were left for a
deputy on three consecutive
days, Thomas said, but none
were returned.
“Every day we called
and got no response,” Tho-
mas continued. “We never
got a call back.”
Frustrated, Herde pre-
pared to file a complaint
against JCSO. The incident
was the second time during
the past month that her car
was vandalized, and she
needed a police report in
order to file an insurance
claim. Herde also wanted to
file criminal charges against
the vandalism suspects.
“We had been waiting
for somebody to go and start
the process to get it to the
D.A.’s office, but that didn’t
happen for a week,” Tho-
mas said. “There wasn’t
even a case number. No-
body had even started any-
thing.”
A call was finally
placed to then Sheriff-elect
Gil Gilbertson, who al-
though at that point had not
assumed his position, he
took immediate action.
“I instructed one of the
deputies to go and deal with
it,” said Gilbertson, who
took office Monday, Jan. 8.
Wednesday night, Jan.
3, within hours of contacting
Gilbertson, Herde received a
phone call from a deputy.
“He started asking
about what happened, and I
told him what happened,”
she said. “He proceeded to
ask why I hadn’t filed a re-
port,” Herde said. “I told
him I had called every day
since Friday trying to make
a report.”
Gilbertson said that he
expects a report to be filed
soon, and that the JCSO will
investigate the delayed re-
sponse.
“That’s something I’m
going to look into,”
Gilbertson said.
Although a lack of po-
lice presence has long
plagued Illinois Valley,
Thomas said that she is glad
that Gilbertson already has
put some of his campaign
promises into action.
“It’s just another exam-
ple of how it’s been (the
lack of response),” Thomas
said. “But I’m sure it’s go-
ing to be better now (with
Gilbertson as sheriff).”
