OSU first in
citation list
Oregon State University
(OSU) at Corvallis is ranked
No. 1 in the nation in the
study of agricultural sci-
ences and sixth for its geo-
sciences research, based on
the citation impact of its
scientists’ published re-
search.
Published in recent re-
ports from Science Watch,
the rankings are based on
trends and performance of
the top 100 federally funded
U.S. universities. They re-
flect the number of times
scientists cited research in
peer-reviewed journals.
An impact score, calcu-
lated as citations-per-page
during a four-year period, is
reported for 21 fields of sci-
ence. For example, during
2001-05, Yale University
had the highest impact for
law, Harvard University, the
highest impact for clinical
medicine.
OSU had the highest
impact for agricultural sci-
ences, followed by the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, Cor-
nell, Rutgers, University of
California at Davis and
Penn State. OSU was sixth
in the study of geosciences,
just behind Princeton Uni-
versity and ahead of such
institutions as the Mass-
chusetts Institute of Tech-
nology and the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institute.

To the Root:
HOT SHOT SOCCER - This is the first
year Illinois Valley is fielding a traveling
recreational team, the I.V. Hotshots. 15
girls in 6th through 8th grade make up
the competitive team, coached by Jean-
Paul Dhenin. The girls’ first game of the
season, which resulted in a tie, 3-3, was
held in Ashland against the Mountain
Kaboom. The Hotshots next game will be
held at Portola Park in Grants Pass on
April 14 at 3 p.m. vs. another team from
Ashland. (Photo provided)
Hwy. 199 trees to improve fish habitat
Trees removed for a
Hwy. 199 widening project
on the north side of Cave
Junction will be placed in an
Illinois River tributary this
summer to enhance fish
habitat and stream quality,
said Oregon Dept. of Trans-
portation (ODOT).
The tree removal is nec-
essary to make room for the
$5 million 199 at Laurel
Road widening project to
accommodate a center
turn lane, wider shoulders
and construction of a new
bridge over George Creek
near Laurel Road.
“We’re removing some
trees close to the riparian
area on George Creek,”
said ODOT biologist Ken
Cannon. “As a result, we're
providing Illinois Valley
Watershed Council 30 trees
with root wads that will be
placed in critical stream
habitat. The council will
monitor the results.”
This partnership helps
satisfy a National Marine
Fisheries Service require-
ment for the project. The
trees will help aid a nearly
half-mile restoration project
for Althouse Creek, south-
west of Cave Junction.
“This stretch of the
stream has a high potential
for spawning habitat,”
said Kevin O’Brien, water-
shed council coordinator.
“There’s a 90-degree
bend in the creek that’s
eroding the stream bank
near a private home. The
bioengineered approach will
be better than rip-rap and
will help build spawning
gravels, which are good for
fish,” O’Brien said.
Roadway construction
will begin this summer. Mo-
torists should expect some
short delays. The project is
scheduled for completion
during 2008.
Governor establishes behavioral health committee
Gov. Kulongoski re-
cently issued an executive
order establishing the Chil-
dren’s Wraparound Steering
Committee and charging it
with developing a statewide
plan to provide integrated
care for children with, or at
Œ
Honesty
risk of developing significant
emotional, behavioral or
substance abuse problems.
“My vision is of an Ore-
gon where every child is
safe, healthy, ready for
school and ready for life,”
said the governor. “This
order sets in motion the re-
design of behavioral health
service to provide early
treatment and support in a
personalized manner for
young Oregonians across
the state.”
The governor held a
roundtable discussion with
young Oregonians with
mental health needs and
their families who receive
service from the Early As-
sessment and Support Team
(EAST).
EAST is sponsored by
Mid-Valley Behavioral Care
Network, which is responsi-
ble for Oregon Health Plan
mental health services in
Linn, Marion, Polk, Tilla-
mook and Yamhill counties.
Kulongoski emphasized
the importance of investing
in early prevention and
treatment for behavior and
substance abuse problems
among Oregon youth. The
governor’s budget proposes
investing $4.3 million to
expand the EAST
program.
Additionally, the Gov-
ernor’s Healthy Kids Plan
would provide a compre-
hensive benefit package for
the 117,000 uninsured chil-
dren in Oregon, including
mental health and substance
abuse treatment.

Wyden on O&C, Iraq, elections ...
(Continued from page 1)
However, Wyden said
that he is optimistic that a
compromise eventually will
be reached between the ex-
ecutive and legislative
branches of the government
on the proposed legislation.
“At some point, the leg-
islation must pass in order to
secure additional dollars for
our troops,” Wyden said. “It
may go through one or more
vetoes, but we’re going to
get this done as quickly as
possible. I think we’re on
the goal line.”
Wyden said that a dif-
ferent strategy and policy
are needed for the war, and
that the public has de-
manded as much.
“I think it’s obvious that
Congress feels strongly
about changing course in
Iraq and the American peo-
ple feel very strongly that
we need to change the
course in Iraq,” Wyden said.
“The last election was a re-
sounding vote for a new
course in Iraq.”
Asked if he supports
impeachment of President
Bush, Wyden said that he
would rather focus on work-
ing with Republican legisla-
tors to advance his top pri-
orities.
“I’m not for impeach-
ment,” Wyden said. “I’m
going to spend my time try-
ing to work in a bipartisan
way to get results for the
public.”
Wyden answered coyly
regarding if he would sup-
port Oregon Rep. Peter De-
Fazio (D-Springfield) if De-
Fazio were to run against
U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith (R-
Pendleton) in 2008.
“It’s too early to talk
about elections,” Wyden said.
