DEQ ’07 fines total $2 million
Oregon Dept. of Envi-
ronmental Quality (DEQ)
levied 15 penalties totaling
$215,784 during October,
none of them in Josephine
County.
So far, DEQ has issued
175 penalties totaling
$2,090,556 during 2007.
DEQ issued the
month’s largest penalty,
totaling $50,491, to Robert
Earl Mobley, doing business
in Newport as King Salvage
Co., for waste tire, solid
waste permit, open burning
and other violations at the
operation at 109 King Place,
Portland. Mobley appealed
the penalty on Oct. 30.
The month’s second
largest penalty was issued to
Galvanizers Co., a steel gal-
vanizing business in Port-
land. DEQ issued a total of
$34,875 in penalties against
Galvanizers, stemming from
a series of hazardous waste
violations documented dur-
ing a December 2006 DEQ
inspection of the facility.
Galvanizers Co. ap-
pealed the penalty on Oct.
19, said DEQ.

For IVN
Illinois Valley Safe
House Alliance (IVSHA) has
new quarters at the site for-
merly used by Home Valley
Bank on Lister Street in Cave
Junction.
Although the move is
still in progress, volunteer
coordinator Loren Yarbrough
said that the offices are open
for business. And plans are in
the works for a shelter to be
constructed either above or
behind the current building,
he stated.
Home Valley Bank has
relocated to its new building
on Redwood Hwy. in Down-
town Cave Junction, across
from Art’s Red Garter and
Treehouse Florist & Gifts.
IVSHA, funded by state
and federal grants, assists
victims of domestic abuse be
they adult or juvenile males
or females. IVSHA offers
legal assistance with restrain-
ing orders, short-term stays in
hotels, relocation services,
and individual counseling for
the abused.
Yarbrough said that there
are currently two advocates
and nine volunteers on staff
to assist the 30 to 40 persons
seeking help each month.
Chris Mallette is executive
director. The number of peo-
ple helped monthly shows the
necessity for the program in
Illinois Valley, notes IVSHA.
Yarbrough added that
volunteer training classes will
be held by the Oregon Coali-
tion Against Domestic And
Sexual Violence at the Lister
Street site beginning Thurs-
day, Dec. 6.
Sessions will be held
during a three-day period and
will cover such issues as
stalking, sexual abuse and
anti-oppression training.
Anybody can attend the
sessions, scheduled to be held
every six months. For more
information, phone
Yarbrough at 592-4147.
Landmark education
budgets that reverse years of
“disinvestment” in Oregon
Head Start, K-12 and higher
education -- representing the
largest funding increases in
more than a decade -- have
been signed by Gov. Kulon-
goski.
“These budgets not only
allow us to play catch-up
from years of losses,” said the
governor, “but they also help
us begin to move forward and
ensure that every student in
Oregon, from pre-school
through graduate school, has
access to a quality educa-
tion.”
The governor signed five
budget bills that comprise the
“Education Enterprise” pro-
gram.
*Pre-Kindergarten/Head
Start: “Moving Toward Full
Funding.” This budget bill
(HB 5019) secures $39 mil-
lion in additional funding to
enroll three quarters of all
eligible 3- and 4-year-olds
from low-income families in
the program, reaching ap-
proximately 3,200 more
youth and 13,000 total state-
wide.
*K-12: “Full School
Years, Smaller Class Sizes
and Increased Opportunities.”
By signing these budget bills
(HB 5019, 5020, 5021), the
governor keeps his promise to
provide record funding for K-
12 -- or nearly a 18 percent
increase.
Public schools will re-
ceive $6.245 billion during
the next biennium: $5.985
billion through the State
School Fund and another
$260 million in investments
from the school innovation
fund to reduce class sizes,
offer full-day kindergarten
and restore programs cut dur-
ing the recession.
*Post-Secondary Educa-
tion: “Reinvesting in Oregon
Universities and Community
Colleges.” After decades of
“disinvestment” in Oregon's
public university and commu-
nity college system, these
funding bills (SB 5515, SB
5012) help begin to restore
Oregon’s higher education
system.
The $868 million higher
education general fund
budget for the 2007-2009
biennium represents an 18
percent increase, including a
$20 million investment in
student enrollment, a nearly
$7 million investment in
reducing student/faculty ra-
tios and additional programs
to help recruit and retain rural
Oregonians.
Additionally, community
colleges will receive $500
million next biennium, the
highest level of state support
in its history.
Oregon’s regional and
smaller universities also will
receive $9 million, helping
restore campus programs in
many rural communities.
“We are making a state-
ment that Oregon cares about
students, and we are ensuring
that we have the best-trained,
best-skilled, best-educated
citizenry and workforce in the
nation,” said Kulongoski,
now in his second term.
“We’re done looking at
the past,” he said.
“It’s time to look for-
ward -- and this session
marks the beginning of a re-
newed commitment to educa-
tion at every level so that we
can deliver economic oppor-
tunity and security for all
Oregon.”
