‘ROCKIN’ ROLE’ - A Rock Band Tournament will be
hosted by the Illinois Valley High School Senior Class Grad
Night Committee on Thursday, Dec. 11 at the school. This
event is open to the public and will benefit the 2009 Grad
Night Safe & Sober Party. For many of the older genera-
tion, this event could be compared to an old-fashioned lip-
syncing session. But instead of mouthing words, the music
is generated on virtual instruments.
Rock Band players use items modeled after musical
instruments to simulate performing rock music. Performers
play their instruments in time with musical “notes” on a
screen. Rock Band also offers game play for drums and
vocals, besides lead and bass guitars.
According to Wikipedia, “Rock Band has up to three
tracks of vertically scrolling colored music notes, one sec-
tion each for lead guitar, drums, and bass. The colored
notes on-screen correspond to buttons on the guitar and
drum peripherals. Along the top of the screen is the vocals
display, which scrolls horizontally, similar to Karaoke Revo-
lution. The lyrics display beneath green bars, which repre-
sent the pitch of the individual vocal elements. The remain-
der of the screen is used to display the band’s virtual char-
acters as they perform in concert.”
The Grad Night Committee will take registration calls
by contacting Chairman Bobbie Loyd at 659-2028. Mem-
bers also will set up registration tables throughout town
during the next two weeks. Watch Illinois Valley News next
week for more details on entry fees and prizes.

Dec. 2 ... Newspaper slips: *Some 40 employees were
laid off yesterday by the manufacturer, as their underwear
is sagging. *The suspect tapped his cigarette on a well-
manured thumbnail, lit it and inhaled deeply. *Treasury

owner and two women with snuggling. T-shirts: *Dare to
be indifferent. *I spill things. *Sure I believe in God. I need

LAST WORDS - I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will
sing praise to your name O most high. (Psalm 9:2); I be-
lieve in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty
enough to want to force it upon anyone. (H. L. Mencken)
Announcing...
Outdoor enthusiasts now
can purchase sport fishing
and hunting licenses and tags
through the Oregon Dept. of
Fish & Wildlife’s Online
Sales Website.
“This is a service our
customers have been asking
for — they can now buy li-
cense documents at their con-
venience,” said DeAnna
Erickson, ODFW License
Services manager. “Residents
and nonresidents can use the
site, which will save people a
lot of time.”
While most licenses and
tags are available for online
purchase, license buyers have to
plan ahead because many docu-
ments will be mailed. In some
cases a temporary document
can be printed and used until the
Winterizing tools recommended
by Oregon Dept. of Agriculture
The Oregon Dept. of
Agriculture (ODA) is encour-
aging users of power tools,
all-terrain vehicles, boats, and
other off-road vehicles and
tools used on a seasonal basis
to winterize their equipment,
especially if they have been
using ethanol-blended fuel.
“Winterizing equipment
properly is always a good
idea, whether you’re using
straight gasoline or an ethanol
blend,” said Stephanie Page,
ODA renewable energy spe-
cialist.
“Most manufacturers
recommend preparing equip-
ment before storage during
the winter, or any extended
period of time,” she said.
“But it’s especially important
to do this if the fuel is 10 per-
cent ethanol.”
Oregon’s Renewable
Fuel Standard (RFS), which
requires gasoline sold in Ore-
gon to be 10 percent ethanol,
took effect earlier this year.
Most manufacturers have
approved ethanol for use in
power tools and off-road
equipment up to a 10 percent
blend. However, Oregon’s
RFS also allows fuel stations
to sell unblended gasoline for
certain uses, including an-
tique vehicles, boats, all-
terrain vehicles, aircraft, and
power tools.

This is in response to Ed
Feulner, president of the
Heritage Foundation, and his
column on Nov. 12 in Illinois
Valley News.
There are many errors
and discrepancies concerning
the Hawaii health plan for
children that Feulner writes
about. He states that the plan,
called Keiki Care, was for
children in the Hawaiian Is-
lands younger than 18 who
were not insured. He states
that within only seven months
the health plan was canceled
because, “People already able
to afford health care began to
stop paying for it so they
could get it free.”
The truth is, it was can-
celed because a newer and
better one that provided addi-
tional help for handicapped
children took its place. It also
was for children, not the par-
ents, and they had to be ap-
plied for and pass a screening
test for income. The plan
was/is based on the overall
income of the parents.
It was only a free service
for those who could not af-
ford to pay. Feulner also
states, “Several states already
cover families earning three
times the federally designated
“level of poverty” ($84,800)
for a family of four. I know of
no state that has a level of
$84,800 as a qualification for
welfare.
Feulner, as well as the
Heritage Foundation, attack
most programs that turn to
state or federal agencies for
aid to purchase health plans
for the less-fortunate and chil-
dren. They would much pre-
fer that there were no medical
health plans other than what
each could afford, with or
without a job to pay for it.
President-elect Obama’s
health plan will finally bring
the United States in line with
the rest of the advanced civi-
lized countries. And it will
provide a care that will save
thousands of children from
dying from untreated child-
hood illness.
better than none.
By staying with a pro-
posal that almost certainly
will fail, rather than devising
a compromise proposal, Rich
is in fact adding to the danger
from fire that the citizens of
the Illinois Valley Fire Dis-
trict face. By making the per-
fect the enemy of the better,
we face being left with no
improvement at all.
If the chief is truly con-
cerned with maximizing the
fire protection available in
our valley, he must propose
and campaign for a smaller,
compromise levy proposal.
To do otherwise would need-
lessly endanger those he is
supposed to protect, and
would create appropriate
doubt about his ability to con-
tinue leading our fire district.
