RIVER ... Continued from A-1 One aspect that the deputy will be focusing on is parking along Illinois River Road. At the more popular swimming holes, nearby parking is limited which leads to people parking illegally, and unsafely, along the side of the narrow road. This has caused serious issues in the past when emergency vehicles have been unable to get past illegally parked cars to render medical aid to those in need. In many cases, the problem could be solved by people parking in appropriate spaces, which may be farther away, and then walking to their desired swimming hole. Both Sheriff Daniel and Ranger Paciorek emphasized that their agencies are focused on cracking down on what they called “lawlessness” on this stretch of the river this summer and making it a place that locals are comfortable bringing their families. As Paciorek said, “It’s such a beautiful place; we want people to be able to enjoy it.” 29910 Redwood Hwy Cave Junction, OR 541-592-3691 ALL Custom jeweLry designs & repAirs done in house!

Government employment rose by 10 jobs, with gains split between state (+10) and local government (+30). Federal government employment decreased by 30 jobs over the year.

April’s rate was slightly above the lowest seasonally adjusted unemployment rate estimate since comparable data are available back to 1990.

Continued from A-1 and raised here and I feel responsible for our county. And I love that we have so many people coming here from all over, it’s like welcoming them into my home and that brings a responsibility to increase safety and bring more jobs into the area.” The percentage of votes earned by the other five Position 3 candidates includes: Mark Seligman, with 7.90 percent; Raymond Smith, 5.67; David Martin, 3.92; Bill Ertel, 3.60 and Shayne Christen, 2.09. The race for Position 2 could be a nail bitter, with the top two candidates headed for the November general election essentially tied. “I’m thankful that I got the votes that I did,” said incumbent Keith Heck, who came out slightly on top with 19.49 percent of the vote. “With this many candidates [there were nine], it’s really hard to focus on one. Now, we’re trying to get everybody aligned with other candidates to get on board with my campaign, so we can move forward together for a good result in November.” Chasing Heck’s heels with 19.21 percent of the vote, Dan DeYoung said, “I’m looking forward to the rest of 10th anniversary of the event is nothing short of astonishing. The MDA is incredibly grateful for Dutch Bros.’ continued support and partnership in the fight against ALS,” said MDA Senior Vice President & Scientific Program Director, Grace Pavlath. “This investment will help MDA make enormous strides in developing treatments and, ultimately, a cure for ALS.” Together, we are making a difference to end ALS. Dutch Bros. will contin- ue to rally for those affected with this disease until a cause and a cure are discovered. this campaign. Keith and I were within 70 votes of each other - and I thought Keith would have more votes than that. I respect the gentleman, there’s no mud to sling there, we just have different philosophies.” “There’s a whole bunch of things going on with public safety and none of them very promising,” DeYoung said. “All the O&C counties are grouping together to sue the federal government, but it’s going to be pretty tough to win that one. A lot of people say it’s got to be timber or nothing, but I think it’s going to have to be a whole host of things to solve the public safety problem. We need to think outside the box. I am going to bring a business man’s approach to this problem. There is more than one way to skin that cat. I want this job. I think we can make this situation a lot better.” The percent of votes received by the other seven candidates for Position 2 was Toni Webb, 9.89; Nathaniel Duarte, 9.87; Joseph Rice, 9.45; Harriet Harris, 9.35; Sandi Cassanelli, 7.82; Dale Matthews, 7.06 and Paul Walter, 5.16. & Collision P ainT S PeCial ! or order off the menu Complete refinish starting at $1800 At the I.V.

I’ll spend the night in the Illinois Valley and it will be interesting to see how things are now.” “I’ve been invited to speak at informal meetings in peoples’ homes,” Morgan added, “and the first thing people say is ‘How are you’re going to make me feel safe? How are you going to make our community safe?’ This is the biggest issue. And, over these next few months I look forward to meeting even more people in our outlaying areas. I really want to hear what is on peoples’ minds. Whether it’s Selma, O’Brien or Wolf Creek, every person in the county has an important voice.” Explaining her sense of commitment to JoCo, Morgan said: “It’s kind of like with my home.
