In John, Chapter 21, we
read of Jesus appearing to sev-
eral disciples by the Sea of
Galilee. 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

Last year because of two
wildfires some people in the

area were contacted because
they were on the Disaster
Registry for Jackson and Jo-

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:

If so, consider filling out
an application for the Disaster
Registry. Once signed up,

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-
