"We needed a central focus to get the best possible results." The group would like to send the poster to child care centers, hospitals and adoption agencies around the country from a list compiled by the Kevin Collins Foundation of California, but postage would cost $11,000, she said. Gibson said he would like to see legislation to discourage snatching children to offer them for adoption, by requiring background checks on the children and the families involved.

"We're never going to feel better until we know what happened to Tommy," Gibson said. "But I could feel better knowing that I've prevented someone else from being abducted, and the way to do that is to get the public aware of the situation." fingerprint will go along with him forever." Gibson fingerprinted Tommy a few weeks before the boy disappeared. "When he saw that it looked like fun, I got him to sit still," Gibson said. "It gives us hope. It hasn't helped at this time, but if this goes on, it could be helpful." At home, Larry and Judy Gibson try to resume a normal life with their 4-year-old daughter, Karen.

"We won't be back to normal until we find out what's happened to him," Gibson said. "It's only a month, but it seems like years. Karen's affected by it. You can see it in her personality." A group called the Find Tommy Gibson Committee has been formed and has distributed thousands of posters of the boy, paid for through donations. "We started doing this because we couldn't not do it," Candace GLENDALE Two-year-old Tommy Gibson disappeared from his front yard nearly seven weeks ago, but his family and friends haven't given up hope that the toddler will be found.

"People think, 'It won't happen to me," said Larry Gibson, a Douglas County sheriff deputy and Tommy's father. "But here in Glendale, we know better than that now. It affects us alL We're pretty much family." Tommy Gibson was playing alone in the front yard of his family's mobile home March 18 in the rural community of Azalea when his father headed out a dirt road for his daily jog. When the boy's mother looked for him 10 minutes later, he was gone. Azalea is 37 miles south of Roseburg on Interstate 5.

Searches of the surrounding wooded hills and farmland turned up nothing. Tracking dogs could find no trail. Gibson and his wife, Judy, have said they think that someone abducted the boy, though no one saw anything to suggest that Meanwhile, the Douglas County Sheriff Department has called in state police to help with the investigation. "There's no leads," sheriff Lt Robert Stratton said. "But we want someone else to take a look at what we've done.

A different set of eyes might spot something we've missed." Gibson has begun fingerprinting local children as a precaution against the possibility that one of them might disappear. "It becomes an ID, a means of identifying a child five, six or seven years down the road," said Scott Bennighof, the Glendale Elementary School principal, who has sent information on the fingerprinting home with children. "A 2-year-old may forget his name or that he was abducted, but that The Associated Press Deputy Sheriff Larry Gibson fingerprints Angela Hesselgrave as part of the community response to the disappearance of Gibson's son.

Courts Marion County Fire department puts new equipment to use The Salem Fire Department has completed its first major improvement resulting from the $3.5 million, voter-approved fire equipment measure passed last May.

New self-contained breathing equipment, costing $155,000, was put into service this month. The 80 new air packs enable firefighters to work in a smoke-filled environment, Pete Rose, the administrative services manager for the department, said. The new equipment replaces air packs that were bought in the 1960s and had been designed for mining work. The new packs are designed specifically for firefighting and meet current safety standards. They are smaller, lighter in weight, have increased air flow and include a speaking device for better communications during a fire.

The department also has ordered 11 fire pumpers, costing about $2 million, and a breathing-air support truck, costing $192,000. This equipment is expected to be in use by December. Also, bids will be sought for three four-wheel drive vehicles for grass and brush firefighting and two ladder trucks. Donations sought for National Guard Oregon Military Department officials are seeking donations of goods and services to be raffled off to National Guard soldiers returning from the Persian Gulf war. The 35 members of the Guard's 206th Transportation Detachment, activated Aug.

27, will return to the Portland Air Base in the next 30 days. The more than 200 members of the 2186th Maintenance activated Nov. 17, will return to Camp Withycombe in Clackamas by the end of May. Banners, flags and balloons will be set up along the roads to the bases when the troops return. Dates for the open houses have not yet been set.

Local businesses and residents have so far donated gift certificates to restaurants and hotels, a free fishing trip OSU Pet Day offer petting zoo, dog wash A petting zoo, pony rides, dog wash, exotic animal displays and pet trick contest are among the highlights of the fourth Pet Day and Open House on Saturday, sponsored by the College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University. Several thousand visitors are expected at the free annual event, which will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. Pet Day was set up to provide a family-oriented activity, college officials said, and to give Oregon residents a chance to learn more about the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine, tour the veterinary hospital and see the latest techniques in veterinary medical care. The open house will include such activities as horse rides, a petting zoo, dog wash and dog show.

All events will be held in or adjacent to Magruder Hall, near the intersection of Washington and 30th streets on the OSU campus. Sublimity Open house will honor officer home from war An open house honoring the return of 2nd Lt. Timothy A. Nokelby from active duty in the Persian Gulf war will be at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Anthony Hall, 11758 Sublimity Road.

Nokelby, 25, a 1984 graduate of Regis High School in Stayton, was deployed with the 24th Infantry on Aug. 24 from Fort Stewart, Ga. A radio commander for a tank division in Saudi Arabia, he also helped with the demolition of mines after the war. Nokelby, who returned to Fort Stewart on March 25, will be on a 30-day leave in Oregon. He plans to spend time in Astoria with his wife, Connie, who is expecting their first child.

He'll also visit the Aumsville home of his parents, Gary and Mary Lou Nokelby. From staff reports City Council accepts chiefs resignation The Willamina City Council on Thursday voted to accept the resignation of Police Chief Dutch Foley. The vote came after a 15-minute executive session. The resignation is effective today. The council agreed to pay Foley two months' severance pay and $500 in moving expenses.

His salary is $1,600 a month. Foley, 57, began his duties as police chief Feb. 25. But council members soon began questioning the thoroughness of the city's investigation into his professional background before hiring him for the job. Foley attributed the criticism to a conflict between the old and the new political structure in town a conflict he said he grew tired of dealing with.

"I just reached a point where I didn't want to work for them anymore," he said. Mayor Gene Taylor said council members were told by city attorney Jerry Hart not to comment publicly on the matter. Woodburn Applications come in slowly for fire chief The Fire Department has been seeking a new fire chief, but few applications have trickled in. Chief Keith Woodley resigned in March to become chief of Ashland's Fire Department. Forty people have requested applications since April, but only two have been returned, said Bob Benck, the fire marshal and acting fire chief.

However, Benck said he expected more applications before the May 7 deadline. A committee will select five finalists who will be interviewed in June by the district's board of directors. The board would like the new fire chief to start Aug. 1, Benck said.
