Session looks at two timber projects Goose meeting RAINBOW: Ranger Terry Baker, of the McKenzie River Ranger District, fielded a wide spectrum of audience questions at a May 2nd meeting. The session gave area residents an opportunity to hear how the Forest Service is responding to a lawsuit on an existing project as well as a first look at a new harvest area that encompasses some 90,000 acres. Green Mountain was the big one which Baker said came about when two adjacent harvest sites were rolled into one package. A lot of the ground covered...

Oregon Dept. of Transportation crews finally completed blowing snow out of the middle of Highway 242 late Monday. However, according to ODOT spokesman Rick Little, "It is very important that early users understand they will likely encounter a layer of ice on the asphalt when temperatures remain near freezing and high water conditions when the temperature is warmer." In addition, and very importantly, the extreme cold temperatures of the winter have resulted in the heaving of asphalt at two locations: Milepost 72.01 and 75.03. "These will...

Slow slosh of warm water across Pacific hints El Niño is brewing El Niño image The El Niño / La Niña climate pattern that alternately warms and cools the eastern tropical Pacific is the 800-pound gorilla of Earth’s climate system. On a global scale, no other single phenomenon has a greater influence on whether a year will be warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than average. Naturally, then, the ears of seasonal forecasters and natural resource managers around the world perked up back in early March when NOAA’s Climate Predicti...
FINN ROCK: “This is a great opportunity for all of us to set aside our negativity, egos and our agendas to come together,” was the way McKenzie School Board member Debbie Peterson helped set the stage for last Wednesday’s monthly meeting. Board chairman Kent Roberts shared those sentiments by saying, “Change is good, can be good and should be good. I’d like to restore the ‘happy,’” he added, noting that, ”We haven’t been happy. It’s been a rough three or four years.” Up for discussion were ways the school district might change in the future, f...
