Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014 Walker ... Continued from A-1 Sheriff ... Continued from A-1 Deputy Joel Heller is contracted to work within Cave Junction city limits five days a week. The sheriff’s office also runs a neighborhood watch program. Peter Good is the coordinator for this program and can be reached through the Merlin substation at 541-474-5135. “Sheriff’s office volunteers have put together upwards of 20 groups and we have the signs put up and explain the procedures to follow during our presentations,” Butler said. “Some of the independent groups are very active with their own patrols.” Sheriff office volunteers are required to lease their own uniform from the main office at the jail, located behind Wal-Mart at 1901 NW F Street in Grants Pass, and must agree to attend a monthly meeting at the Merlin substation. The Grants Pass office phone is 541-474-5123. Free training is provided for those ac- cepted into the program. Duties are varied, but do not involve strenuous activity and all interested adults, including seniors, are wel- come to apply. A standard four-page Jose- phine County application form can be down- loaded from www.jocosheriff.us, which also offers the non-emergency crime reporting link. Volunteers must be fingerprinted and undergo background checks. “Law enforcement officers must have some place to put criminals,” Walker said. “A fully operational jail is a key foundation in crime prevention; and criminals need to know they’ll face consequences.” The adult jail received a boost when the City of Grants Pass recently put up $1 million to fund more beds, but Walker noted how this one-time grant was only a temporary stop-gap to help deal with the county’s troubles. “The county will receive $4.4 million from the Secure Rural Schools Act,” Walker said. “And instead of having to prop the jail with those funds, we could use some of that money to fund patrols, bringing more deputies back into service... if the levy passes.” “In addition to a fully-secured jail, the ju- venile programs are key to keeping more young people from turning to crime,” Walker added. “This levy accomplishes these goals.” The other issue near the top of Walker’s list is economic development, which she says is also tied to public safety. “Businesses won’t move here or remain here unless we solve this problem,” she said. Walker also helps business owners iden- tify and access resources to address key issues ranging from availability of capital for expan- sion and access to credit to sorting out organiza- tional challenges related to staffing or manage- ment. She said businesses can receive valuable assistance through Southern Oregon Regional WHERE’S THE ALARM?

When we found out about that we contacted our congressional delegation and got the issue resolved quickly, which result- ed in Taylor’s putting on another shift and hiring 30 more people.” Walker is also focused on addressing the lack of critical infrastructure, which can be a significant impediment to economic develop- ment. Currently, the board is supporting the North Valley Sewer Project and is also engaged in implementing improvements at the Illinois Valley County Airport and the light industrial park nearby. Improvements to the area’s Geographi- cal Information System is also on the list. GIS (similar to the GPS systems in cars) captures, stores, analyzes, manages and presents all types of geographical information. GIS is utilized in myriad land-use applications by helping survey locations of geological points, highways, air- ports, private property, etc. The assessor’s office uses GIS in mapping tasks, tracking resources and to help inform citizens about potential land use actions.

It’s critical that we update our system and get it established at all the county’s air- ports.” “The Illinois Valley Airport is a viable asset,” Walker added. “More tourists are com- ing in because of the Smokejumper’s Museum. Overall, I’m invested in helping the county pro- mote what our outlying areas have to offer. The Illinois Valley is the home of the Oregon Caves and many valuable natural assets. The Siskiyou Field Institute is another well-kept secret that we’re working to promote. It’s an amazing fa- cility that offers outstanding programs in that very unique bio-diverse area. SFI really has the potential to further increase tourism, which then translates into more business for the local com- munity.” “If we all work together, we have a bright future,” Walker concluded. “There are people who have great ideas who’ve never come for- ward before, and I invite these people to contact me and attend board meetings. Together, we’ll formulate the best solutions to our challenges.” Reach Walker at 541-474-5117, ext. 2 or cwalker@josephine.or.us. 2 WEEK SPECIAL Kiss My Face Shaver Gels % 541-592-3990 Page A-5 ea.
