Page 22 The INDEPENDENT, January 20, 2011 From the Sheriff’s Desk… In Memoriam of Ursa Lamping Ursa is missed by family, neighbors and friends A very loving dog to everyone she met. Born 5/19/91, she passed away on 1/4/2011 from old age. From page 19 firefight with the suspect. We were all so impressed with the commitment of our communi- ties to the cause of public safe- ty and their willingness to sup- port us in our loss. Indeed, we saw through their eyes that this was their loss, too. And, I’ve got to say, this is the most inspiring aspect of all that has gone on in the days since Chief Ralph Painter died at the hands of a merciless gunman. To know that we have your support is the key to all we do. We cannot conserve the peace in our county; we cannot stand in the gap between law- lessness and our freedoms, without your support and co- commitment to the values we live by and institute in our pro- fession. Ultimately, this concerns our freedoms and responsibilities as citizens of the greatest country in the world: the land of the free and home of the brave. Law enforcement officers and deputies depend on your sup- port (not just your tax money) to keep the peace and uphold the laws that preserve our lib- erties. We stand on that thin blue line, but it isn’t about us, nor is it about the line. It is about all of us in society standing together for the com- mon cause of good. You com- mission some of your own to stand on that line in front of you, but we are all standing to- gether. It is times like this that show us just how much we lean on that common cause to do what public safety professionals do day in and day out. And it is the revelation of that support that encourages us – more than perhaps you will ever know – and inspires us to continue to stand on that line. in finish carpentry.
