“The meth epidemic will only increase with budget shortfalls. We must elect a Sheriff who can manage fewer resources more efficiently,” said Nores.
“Our county faces many challenges over the next few years and a strong, and fiscally responsible Sheriff is critical to taking the law enforcement functions of the county to the next level,” stated Nores.

Talk about a time-proven audience-pleaser! “Try To Remember” a time when this romantic charmer wasn’t enchanting audiences at New York’s Sullivan Street Playhouse. The Fantasticks is the longest-running musical in the world, and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.
Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt have created an intimate show that engages the audience’s imagination and showcases a strong ensemble cast. Its moving tale of young lovers who become disillusioned, only to discover a more mature, meaningful love is punctuated by a bountiful series of catchy, memorable songs, many of which have become standards.

Joel King, Sutherlin Fire Chief

Fire is a leading cause of preventable deaths in the home; but by being prepared to handle this emergency, you can help your family safely exit your home in the event of a fire. Fire safety and survival begins with everyone in your household being prepared. In the year studied, The State of Home Safety in America™ report found that only 54 percent of families with children have discussed what to do in case of a home fire.

When your personal identification information (name, social security number, driver license number, etc.) has been used fraudulently to open credit accounts, bank accounts, obtain loans, utilities, telephone services, etc., without your knowledge or permission, you are the victim of the crime of identity theft. Even if you did not suffer any financial loss (i.e., you’ve been reimbursed by the bank or other fi nancial institution) you are still considered an identity theft victim.
