This story will be re-
placed with a tree farm to
assure that there will be a
future wood supply for the
timber industry.
Billions of tourist dol-
lars will pass through the
Hwy. 199 corridor before
these plantation trees are
ready to harvest and the
travel industry will be per-
manently impaired in its
ability to stop travel
money while our mills
wait decades to harvest the
timber.
This leaves a gaping
hole in our future eco-
nomic prospects and exem-
plifies the concern of
Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, June 23, 2004
travel proponents in I.V.
who want to use tourism in
partnership with other in-
dustries of our region to
establish a sustainable in-
come for our community
and a future for our youth.
Travel proponents
have consistently focused
on economic diversity and
sustainability, and actively
presented these issues to
the Biscuit team, which
subsequently addressed
concerns for the economic
well-being of our commu-
nity and the travel industry
with a regard that is unmis-
takably and clear as the
sound of a slamming door.
The ground under
some of the most intensely
burned forest is covered
with verdant growths of
grasses, flowers and young
pine seedlings.
The true face of the
Siskiyou Mountains is
showing itself in an inspir-
ing story of survival, resil-
ience and adaptation.
In two weeks, opera-
tions to harvest and estab-
lish tree plantations will
begin erasing what may be
one of S.W. Oregon’s most
important tourism develop-
ment opportunities.

Revenue, not spending, ‘problem’
The Oregon Center for
Public Policy (OCPP) has
released a new analysis
showing that Oregon has a
revenue problem, not a
spending problem, con-
trary to the claims of the
proponents of a new
spending limit.
According to the Pub-
lic Policy Research Insti-
tute, the June Economic
and Revenue forecast
“should prompt Orego-
nians considering tax re-
form to focus on generat-
ing more revenue, rather
than stabilizing the state’s
i n s u ff i c i e n t r e v e n u e
stream.”
OCPP’s analysis of the
state’s economists’ reve-
nue projections is con-
tained in a new, three-page
paper, “More Money is
Needed: Revenue Forecast
Shows that Focus on
Spending Limits and Tax
Reform for Stability are
Misplaced.”
The OCPP analysis
demonstrates that infla-
tion-adjusted per-capita
general fund revenues will
not return to the pre-
recession 1999-01 levels
until the 2009-11 budget
period.
The OCPP analysis
notes that “(if) Oregonians
want to restore education,
public safety, human ser-
vices and other programs
cut during the recession
that began at the end of the
1999-01 biennium, they
will need to do more than
just rely on economic
growth.
“Tax reform focused
on raising additional reve-
nue will be necessary. In-
flation and population de-
mands on the state budget
will outstrip Oregon’s eco-
nomic growth and Orego-
nians’ thirst for quality
public services.”
The three-page issue
brief, “More Money is
Needed” is available at
www.ocpp.org. For more

‘Can’t see the forest for the trees...’
(Continued from page 1)
Consider also the an-
ticipation that wood use
will increase by as much as
50 percent toward mid-
century. Despite these sta-
tistics, the percentage of
wood that Oregon is im-
porting is steadily grow-
ing. We must be concerned
that Oregon’s forest re-
source policies don’t cause
unintended adverse effects
to the global environment,
or to Oregon forestland
owners and businesses by
putting them at a disadvan-
tage in the global market.
The wood Americans
use will come from some-
where. Projections indicate
that if there are continuing
restraints on Oregon tim-
ber, 43 percent of the de-
mand that could be met by
Oregon forests will be met
by southern U.S. forests;
32 percent by substitution
products, such as steel and
concrete that are less envi-
ronmentally friendly; 15
percent by Asian forests;
and 10 percent by Canada.

GP couple
found dead
in shooting
Two people were
found shot to death in an
outside gazebo at Highland
House in Grants Pass on
Wednesday, June 16.
At approximately 9:10
a.m., Grants Pass Dept. of
Public Safety (GPDPS)
received a call from a
neighbor of the victims
reporting a shot was heard
nearby.
A second call report-
ing the possibility of a
shooting came from a
nursing facility on High-
land Avenue.
Nursing home staff
secured the facility until
police responded.
When officers arrived
at the nursing home, they
found William Buck, 84,
and his wife Dorothy, 83,
dead from apparent gun-
shot wounds, said GPDPS.
The wife was a resident of
the nursing facility for a
period of time. It appeared
that the incident was a
homicide/suicide, said po-
lice.
The victims’ families
were notified. Investiga-
tion is continuing and the
case has been referred to
the state medical examiner.
