He said the group looks forward “to continuing working with conserva- tionists, industry, agencies, recreationists and the For- est Service in our efforts to bring about healthy, fire-tol- erant forests that provide forest products, wildlife habitat, local jobs and great recreational opportunities on the southern Malheur National Forest.” The collaborative groups also requested additional funding to help accelerate the restoration work in the expanded area. While those funds aren’t available now, the request is approved if the money becomes avail- able. Steve Beverlin, Malheur supervisor, called the ap- proval an example of the strong commitment the na- tional and regional Forest Service offices have for the ongoing restoration work on the Malheur and across Eastern Oregon. “The approved expan- sion is a testament to our ex- ceptional partnerships with our public, communities and collaboratives,” Bev- erlin said. “As we expand our efforts, we’ll continue to seek common ground and promote active public and partner involvement.” Grant County’s 0DNLQJ*UDQW&RXQW\DEHWWHUSODFH WHERE DO YOU WORK OR VOLUNTEER AT: Board of Directors of Grant Soil and Water Conservation District, Treasurer for Grant County Farm Bureau, original and current member of Ag Water Quality Local Advisory Committee FAMILY MEMBERS: Wife Meredith L.

WHY IS EDUCATION IMPORTANT TO YOU: I always felt that my duty as an educator was not to make little scientists, biologists or mathematicians out of the students in my care, but rather to develop within them the two most significant attributes that individuals need to be successful in life: to become responsible and to learn how to think. One cannot occur without the other and it is the combination of these that leads to success and a student doing the very best they can with what they have. WHAT CAN FAMILIES DO AT HOME TO HELP WITH THE EDUCATION OF THEIR CHILDREN: Few things are more significant than a sincere and active interest in the progress, achievement(s) and activities of the student. This is very easy with sports or athletic endeavors, but needs to also be extended to band, choir, FFA, science shows/fairs and all activities of the student. WHAT ARE SPECIFIC THINGS THE COMMUNITY CAN DO TO HELP YOUR SCHOOL: At most athletic endeavors there is always positive community support, but for many of the academic events the majority of supporters are the parents of those participating. We help our schools when we support all of the activities and endeavors of all of our students. Our School Board is composed of elected volunteers, who usually hear from the community only when someone feels they, the board, have made a poor decision. What they really need is to be given input and hear your opinion to assist them in their decision-making process and be shown that their commitment to our youth and future community leaders is appreciated.
