Page 4 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, April 2, 2008 Ethics rules challenge for small cities Small communities around Oregon are trying to figure out how a 2007 amendment to Chapter 244 of the Oregon Revised Statutes will affect their largely volun- teer governing boards and commissions. The many changes have been touted by Democratic lawmakers as long overdue ethics reform. ORS 244.050 mandates that, among many state-level positions, all elected officials, planners and administrators/ managers at the city and county levels submit a State- ment of Economic Interest to the Oregon Government Eth- ics Commission. The plan- ning commissioners for the city of Elgin, north of La- Grande, resigned en masse; and four out of seven of those serving on Maupin’s planning commission also have re- signed rather than comply with the state’s strict new disclosure law. “As volunteers in a small community, they all resigned rather than have the state post their personal and financial information on the Internet,” said Elgin City Administrator Joe Garlitz. Noncompliance is a class C felony and pun- ishable by fines. The filing deadline is April 15. The statements also in- clude information on house- hold income, property hold- ings or transactions, hono- raria, and certain types of investments. Cave Junction Mayor Tony Paulson said that he’s met with the city attorney to try and obtain an injunction against the reporting, but said he’d even consider resigning rather than post the names of every one of his family mem- bers 18 and older. None of his family mem- bers, Paulsen said, want their names to be posted on the Internet “just because I’m mayor.” The ORS revisions also move to stop the “revolving door” by prohibiting mem- bers of the Legislature from receiving money or any other kind of consideration for lob- bying until the end of the next legislative session following their departure. State invests in sustainable green industries The Oregon Growth Ac- count Board took a signifi- cant step into the sustainable investing market during March when it approved a $5 million investment in the Piv- otal Investments Fund I. Portland-based Pivotal I is a $60 million to $75 mil- lion dollar venture capital fund that focuses on high- growth assets such as renew- able energy, green buildings and biomass. The firm looks to capitalize on the North- west’s leadership in develop- ing green sustainable indus- tries. State Treasurer Randall Edwards predicts that this investment will ripple through Oregon's economy. “We have always led the nation in protecting and re- specting the environment,” he said. “Now Oregon is becom- ing the epicenter for emerging green technologies that ad- dress climate change. This fund will attract other invest- ments to that sector and that will lead to new family wage jobs for Oregonians,” he says.

(Sponsored Memorial) Seventh-day Adventist Church, Cave Junction By Patty Hyland A Baptism by immersion was held at the church, at 265 S. Old Stage Road, visually demonstrating the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Each Saturday, a Baptism will be held in the baptistry by Pastor Verne Hyland, as sev- eral have requested the experi- ence of going all the way with Jesus through His example of Baptism. Every Tuesday at 7 p.m. the “Storacles of Prophecy” will be held in the church Fel- lowship Hall. These special Bible studies bring to light Bible prophecies, as well as teaching the many stories of faith portrayed in living color. Josephine Kelly and Ronda Brown, registered nurses, have given us an im- portant workshop in adminis- tering natural remedies and hydrotherapy. During this season, when so many are ill with colds and coughs, this informative class has already helped several families. One young woman, ill for a couple weeks with an upper respiratory infection, is recovering, as her children are giving her fomentations. A friend taught them and they are anxious to help their mother. Praise God for loving children. The sanctuary choir is practicing every Tuesday at 5:45 p.m. and is enjoying the newly arranged sacred mu- sic. Anyone interested in sing- ing and who has experience in reading music can phone 592- 3218 for information. The choir sings Saturday mornings at the 10:30 worship service. Each Tuesday from 9 a.m. to noon, clothing and blankets are distributed. Boxes of food are given to needy families from 1 to 3 p.m. For more information, phone 592-3218. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church How many of us are like “doubting Thomas,” who said he would not believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ unless he could touch his cruci- fixion wounds? Do we believe by faith alone, or do we want proof? We need only look to our blessings to know that He is the Son of God. Sunday school for all- comers begins at 9:15 a.m. preceding 10 a.m. worship.

Carlotta Delores May McQuinn Late in the evening on March 3, 2008, my 90-year-old mother awoke at her home in Selma, Oregon. She asked for her dark glasses and visor to shield her eyes from the “bright light”, went back to sleep, and stepped into the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She was born November 18, 1917 in Flushing, Long Island, New York, the youngest of four, to Newton and Carlotta Donavan. At age 9 her beloved mother passed away and this loss left an impact on her heart that only heaven could heal. “Mumsy”, as we loved to call her, lived by her own rules. How could I write a typical obituary? With increas- ing age, her unconventionality flourished. She might have been the inspiration for the poem about the old lady in the purple dress. You know, the one with the “wild red hat that doesn’t match” She loved hats and clothes and any reason at all was a reason to get dressed up. She made her own jewelry out of all kinds of things, and laughed at herself with us when she wore it. I remember the car she had painted lavender with light blue on the bottom because she wanted it to look like the evening sky. And the convertible she drove too fast with the top down. Another of her passions was music, all kinds. She loved to dance and later, when she couldn’t, she found great joy playing her (out of tune) guitar. She would have preferred to be at the beach with her toes in the sand than any place on earth. She loved birds and butterflies, and she loved to sew, write letters, and grow flowers. She also knew how to make the sacrifices necessary to raise her children through hard times, and I never saw her “under the influence” of anything. She introduced me to God, and, when I grew up, I introduced her to Jesus. Her dark Chippewa eyes looked on all people with respect, and she taught me what it means to be a person of com- passion. She is survived by four daughters, Janice Elizabeth Williams of the Six Nations reserve in Ontario, Canada; Julia Carlotta Thomas and husband George McNeil of Lander, Wyoming; Reta Florence Baty of Preston, Idaho; and Liala Kay Ericsson of Selma, Oregon. She also leaves 23 grandchildren; 52 great-grandchildren; 20 great-great-grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews; and her close friend and companion for 35 years, Greg Ramos. She was preceded in death by her parents; her two sisters; her son, Edward Gilbert Thomas; two grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH 265 S. Old Stage Rd.
