Newspaper Page TextThe INDEPENDENT, January 21, 2010 From the Sheriff’s Desk… by Jeff Dickerson, Columbia County Sheriff Dear Nehalem Valley Residents: When I took office last year, it was my intent to immediately begin a dedicated patrol in the Nehalem Valley for 40 hours per week. However, we lost two positions that could not be filled due to the Tim- ber Fund Cuts in the Col. Co. Sheriff 2008-09 budget year. Even after the cuts were partially reinstated, we had no additional staff to assign those duties. This year, the additional revenue losses that meant the reduction of additional positions have put us in the precarious position of usually hav- ing only one deputy on per shift (if that) any- where in the 650+ square miles of Columbia County. I have been working with a committee ap- pointed by the Board of County Commissioners to address the gap in sheriff’s services brought about by Please see page 20 Jan. 8 – Stoney Point Rd. resident reported that an un- known person is hiding behind trees on their property, throw- ing things at their camper, and is an on-going situation; no one found in area.
