He sat to eat with them, and asked Peter whether he loved Him. Peter replied, “Yes,” three times, to which Jesus replied, “Feed my lambs,” “Tend my sheep,” and finally, “Feed my sheep.” He was telling the disciples Rogue Valley Council of Governments (RVCOG).

Valley faced the possibility of evacuation because of the 500,000-acre Biscuit Fire. Last year because of two wildfires some people in the Roxy Ann and Tolman Creek area were contacted because they were on the Disaster Registry for Jackson and Jo- sephine counties. After floods in 1997 in Ashland, the Disaster Regis- try, a free service provided by RVCOG, was created to iden- tify those in the community that would need extra help in case of a disaster. The registry provides the names and locations of peo- ple who need special assis- tance to fire, police, health and rescue workers during emergencies. To be listed in the Disaster Registry the re- quirements are simple: In case of disaster would you or someone you care for: *Need outside help to safely evacuate your home? *Be in danger if you stayed in your home without assistance for three days? *Need special notification about the need for evacuation due to impairment? If so, consider filling out an application for the Disaster Registry. Once signed up, volunteers call those on the registry to update information every three months. know your special needs. If you or someone you care for needs an application, phone RVCOG at 541-664- 6674 or register online at rvcog.org. By SCOTT JORGENSEN IVN Staff Writer Rep. Ron Maurer (R- Grants Pass) has been criss- crossing Oregon during the past few months as he tries to dethrone Susan Castillo, the superintendent of public in- struction. And Maurer made a stop in his hometown of Grants Pass on Wednesday, April 14 for a fund-raiser with ap- proximately 30 supporters. The event, held at a res- taurant, included attendance by Josephine County Sheriff Gil Gilbertson and former county Clerk & Recorder Georgette Brown. Maurer gave a brief speech, and outlined his run for the statewide office. “It’s been an experience to do this,” Maurer said. “It’s been an interesting ride, to say the least.” Running a statewide campaign is “surreal,” Maurer observed. He said that one day, he spent the morning in Eugene talking to around 450 members of the Oregon Education Association, which represents teachers through- out the state. That night, Maurer said, he gave a speech at the Dorchester Conference in Seaside in front of some 750 Republican activists. He said that he has been disappointed by the limited amount of media coverage that the superintendent race has received. This especially is so, he stated, because edu- cation funding comprises more than half the state’s general fund budget, and the position is one of only six statewide offices. The first major article about the race appeared in The Oregonian newspaper. It focused mostly on Maurer naming his sons Remington and Winchester, he said. “That did stir up a lot of debate,” Maurer said. “Most of it, actually, is positive.” Castillo has held the su- perintendent position for around eight years, Maurer said. He added that Oregon currently is ranked 43rd in the nation in educational out- comes. Prior to becoming a state representative, Maurer served on the Grants Pass School District 7 Board of Education. Maurer also holds three de- Celebration of life for Jer r y Buell Saturday, April 24, 1 p.m. Art’s Red Garter in Cave Junction HOSPICE VOLUNTEERS Help when you need it the most… Lovejoy Hospice says “Thank you!” to all our dedicated volunteers… 70 strong. 474-1193 COMMUNITY EDUCATION ♥Caregiver 101 Workshop ~ Saturday, April 24th, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm ♥Save the Date!

Maurer said that if elected, he plans to reform the Dept. of Education by chang- ing its top leadership, which consists of political appoint- ees. That is the only way to change the agency’s Remodeling Concrete New Construction “culture,” Maurer said. Josephine County Dep- uty District Attorney Wally Hicks was introduced to the crowd by Maurer. Hicks, 33, is running unopposed for the post that Maurer now holds. “I think Wally will do a great job,” Maurer said. The race between Maurer and Castillo will be decided in the May 18 primary elec- tion.
