Janice Arlene Rehder
July 1932-Dec. 2015
Janice Arlene Rehder, 83, of Ritter, Oregon passed away
Dec. 12, 2015 at Ashley Manor in Baker City.
) Janice was bom in Ritter on July 6, 1932 to Leland and
Lena Mae (Burnette) Cameron. She attended Three Mile
School and transferred to St. Joseph Academy in Pendleton
to conclude her high school education.
Janice met her future husband while her father was a
crew supervisor on the Malheur National Forest and invited
a young gentleman that he supervised to join them for din­
ner, There she was introduced to Robert Rehder of Mt. Ver­
non and they were married on Jan. 28,1950. They lived in
Mt, Vernon for nine years and brought four children into
this marriage. The couple made their first home in Ritter
and began ranching. Janice was a devoted wife and mother.
She raised a large garden every year and canned so the re­
wards could be appreciated all year. Her weekly ritual of
baking bread and cinnamon rolls were a favorite. She
could take very little and make a gourmet meal. She loved
to have company and she fixed a wonderful meal and no­
body would leave feeling hungry. Janice began working
for the Long Creek School district for 27 years as a dedi­
cated school bus driver. She drove activity bus to many
sporting events and never had a lost time accident. Janice
loved to hunt and fish. Many deer and elk seasons would
■ see her bagging her game with her favorite 30-30 rifle. She
was most proud of her Angus herd that she and Robert
'started in the 1950's. She was an outstanding cowgirl who
broke many horses and trained them for cutting. She was
most comfortable being on her ranch.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband
of 53 years Robert, and son William.
Janice is survived by her son Gerald of Ritter, daughter
Belinda (Larry) Ellis of Lincoln City, daughter Benita
(Tony) Britt of Baker City; five grandchildren and six great
‘grandchildren.
At Janice's request there will not be a funeral. She always
• said "come see me when I'm alive and when I'm gone,
-think of me doing the things I enjoyed most!" the family
added "There will not be a day, that we do not remember
' all of the things that she enjoyed doing the most."

Public Records Law Reform Task
Force Accepting Public Comments
Members of the Attorney General’s Public
Records Law Reform Task Force will be accepting
public comments on the Oregon Public Records
Law, and the work of the task force, on Wednesday,
January 13, from 4-6 p.m. Please join us next door
to the Oregon State Capitol to share your experi­
ences, suggestions, or other thoughts with task
force members:
Conference Room B
155 Cottage Street NE
Salem, OR 97301
All are welcome to attend.
Information about the work of the task force is
available at http://www.doj.state.or.us/public_
records/Pages/task_force.aspx. Currently, that
work is focused primarily on the hundreds of disclo­
sure exemptions that keep information out of public
hands - and can make the law difficult to imple­
ment. Other issues that the task force expects to
examine include the cost and timeliness of public
records disclosures.-The task force wants to hear
from Oregonians on these and other public records
law subjects.
Questions about this announcement, and requests
for accommodations by individuals with disabilities,
can be directed to Michael Kron, michael.c.kron
