4 CapitalPress.com October 20, 2017 Phelan hired to lead Smackout pack, once targeted by WDFW, kills cow Oregon Aglink By ERIC MORTENSON Capital Press (As of Dec. 2016) Mallory Phelan is the new executive director of Oregon Aglink, the Port- land-based nonprofit that attempts to bridge the ur- ban-rural divide with edu- cational programs and ad- vocacy. Phelan was interim di- rector following the depar- ture of Geoff Horning, who left this past summer to take the top executive job at Or- egon Hazelnut Industries. Phelan was offered the job after a national search and accepted the position Oct. 17, according to an Oregon AgLink news release. Phelan, 30, said she is honored and excited to be picked for the job. She said existing pro- grams will be continued, with the upcoming “Denim and Diamonds” dinner and auction in Portland being at the forefront of the organi- zation’s work. But Phelan said she wants to dive into more strategic planning. She said Oregon Aglink should be- come more of a presence in agriculture across the state. “We’re heavy in the (Willamette) valley,” she said. “We want to expand.” She said there are “farm- ers and ranchers down in the Klamath Basin, out in Ione, in the Umatil- la Basin,” for example, who want to be part of the “Adopt a Farmer” program. It connects middle school science classes with farms and ranches for field trips and other presentation. Phelan said a number of producers are especially in- terested in linking with stu- dents in the Portland metro area. Phelan also said Oregon Confirmed range NOTE: Polygons represent estimated ranges for known wolf packs with radio-collared animals.

Tucannon will consider culling a pack after four depredations with- in 10 months or three depre- dations within 30 days. The pack met the thresh- old in July, and WDFW trapped and euthanized two wolves. Two months passed without another depredation, and WDFW declared the operation over on Sept. 26, The department had hoped its new policy of intervening sooner once depredations started but shooting fewer wolves had worked. The Smackout pack, however, remains one of the larger of the state’s 20 wolf- packs, with about a dozen wolves. The pack’s young- est members are now old er 97 Seattle 1. Teanaway 2. Lookout 3.

Stranger v Ri 2 5 ia The Washington Depart- ment of Fish and Wildlife confi rmed Oct. 9 that the Smackout wolfpack killed a cow on private land in Stevens County, about two weeks after the department said it was hopeful the pack’s appetite for cattle had been curbed. The department, which killed two wolves in the pack in July, won’t consid- er restarting the lethal-re- moval operation unless the pack attacks one more time, crossing a threshold set by department policy. “It’s hard to say wheth- er it’s an isolated case. We’ll have to see what the next month has in store,” WDFW wolf policy coor- dinator Donny Martorello said Monday. “It’s a very dynamic system. It’s a very wild system, and you never know what’s going to hap- pen next.” WDFW reported the dep- redation Friday in a weekly roundup of wolf activities in the state. The department originally reported the cow was killed in the Colville National Forest, but later corrected the location. The attack was the fi rst confi rmed depredation by the pack since July 22 and the third in less than three months, according to WDFW.

Stevens County rancher Justin Hedrick said Mon- day that he did not believe WDFW’s incremental ap- proach to culling the pack would stop depredations. “The department’s eval- uation period ended, but so what?” he said. “When the numbers get so dang high, they kill the game and run the rest of the game out, and it’s still a lot of protein they have to have every day.” The cow killed by the Smackout pack this month belonged to another ranch- er. The Smackout pack has attacked cattle from at least three producers over the past year, according WDFW. Hedrick said his family’s operation has lost at least 10 cows to wolves this year, though the number could rise as the ranch tries to bring in cattle from grazing allot- ments, he said. The grazing season in the national forest ends this month, but the wolves will still endanger cows on pri- vate land, Hedrick said. “They just follow the cat- tle,” he said. “The grazing season is never over for cat- tlemen.” Martorello agreed the de- partment and ranchers will have to continue guarding against confl icts between livestock and wolves.
