Illinois Valley Funeral Direc- tors are in charge of arrangements. Mary Lou Clark, 67, passed on peacefully at her home in Takilma Feb. 11, 2017.

Mary was a passionate gardener specializing in herbs, a loving cat fancier and bible reader, loved by all who knew her. She is survived by her son Adrian Van Loo, 47 of Takilma, twin broth- ers Roger and Robin Clark and a de- ceased sister Pat Clark of Michigan. A celebration of life will take place on March 19, 2017 at the Takilma Bible church at 2 p.m. Please bring a special potluck dish in celebration of Mary.

I’m for clean energy Suppose I didn’t pay taxes be- cause my contribution is so small compared to the state or national budget. It is trivial – but represents a serious burden on me. Does any- body think this argument would fly as a moral or legal defense of my po- sition? Yet polluters make this argu- with it because we let them. Pollut- ers dump their toxic waste in our air and our water because it’s free – and processing their waste would cost money and dent profits. So we all pay the price in health, environmen- tal or clean-up costs. Does anybody think this represents justice? The lamest argument for Or- egon refusing to reduce its climate pollution is the parallel claim that – as a state - we pollute so little that our effort to reduce emissions is meaningless, so we shouldn’t bother. Making this argument demonstrates a complete lack of morality. We know the livability of our planet de- pends on our reducing climate pollu- tion globally. If we want our corner of the globe to be saved, we need to reduce our emissions first. Only then will we be able to urge others to do likewise. Support Oregon SB557 for clean energy and jobs.
