BLM said that it de- cided on the extension for comments “because of the extensive nature of the analysis in the Draft EIS.” The plan addresses future management of 2.5 million acres of public land in Southwestern Oregon. “So far during the plan revision process, more than 130 meetings have been held with a variety of groups, organizations and public officials,” said Ed Shepard, BLM Oregon/ Washington state director. “Since the draft was re- leased in August,” he added, “BLM has held an addi- tional 70 meetings with the ‘Idea of Justice’ topic of Chautauqua talk Nov. 17 Three kinds of justice will be discussed during the free Oregon Chautauqua Council for the Humanities (OCH) program, “The Idea of Justice,” on Saturday, Nov. 17 at the Josephine County Bldg. in Downtown Cave Junction. Lani Roberts The Social Justice Alli- ance of Josephine County will host Lani Roberts, an Oregon State University philosophy professor and Oregon Chautauqua scholar. Roberts will discuss how societies have dealt with justice throughout history. A potluck dinner at 5 p.m. will precede the program at 6. Distributive (sharing) and retributive (punishment) justice have been part of Western culture since Plato. But restorative justice came into focus in the 1990s as a group of South Africans thought about how to peace- fully resolve profound harms perpetuated by sup- porters of apartheid. Roberts will discuss this new approach that is in- creasingly part of the U.S. justice system in the form of mediation. OCH is an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the Na- tional Endowment for the Humanities dedicated to the belief that knowledge and ideas are fundamental to the health of Oregon communi- ties.

Oregon counties in prepara- tion of the plan. Two day- long public technical ses- sions were held recently in Medford and Eugene to al- low interested parties to learn more about the analy- sis in the EIS from BLM specialists, he noted. “Comments and sug- gestions from the public, along with ideas from coop- erating agencies, will be used by BLM to craft pro- posed resource management plans that will be analyzed in a final EIS next year,” said Shepard. Copies of the document are available for review at certain locations. Paper documents and electronic documents on CDs also are available from BLM. The draft EIS, inter- active maps, and comment- ing tools are available on the Internet. Visit blm.gov/or/ plans/wopr. With the new comments deadline of Jan. 11, they can be submitted electronically from the Website or mailed to Western Oregon Plan Revisions, P.O. Box 2965, Portland OR 97208.
