9A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2016 Smith: Re-evaluation could take two months US agency plans to boost timber harvest in western Oregon Continued from Page 1A In isolation Defense lawyers Lynne Morgan and David Falls wrote in court documents that Smith is now being housed in isola- tion in a rubber room with only a bare mattress and a single blanket. The toilet consists of a hole in the Àoor in the middle of the cell. The lawyers note she is wearing a suicide smock and is not allowed to have a book or a Bible, as jail rules deem those items dangerous to a person on suicide watch. In addition, her lawyers say, she has stopped eating and drink- ing water. ³I spoke with an of¿cial at the jail yesterday morning, who expressed grave concerns over Ms. Smith’s dire mental state,” Morgan wrote. The defense lawyers are demanding the court send Smith to the Oregon State Hospital for treatment and sus- pend all future court hearings. 0HQWDO¿WQHVV Smith’s suicide attempt marks a sharp turn in the dis- pute over her mental ¿tness to proceed with her trial. Her defense lawyers believe Smith suffers from a mental disease, while prosecu- tors think she is faking. A con- By STEVEN DUBOIS Associated Press Joshua Bessex/The Daily Astorian Jessica Smith is led into the Clatsop County Courthouse for a hearing in March. Smith attempted suicide following that hearing. tested aid-and-assist hearing is scheduled later this month. Court-appointed psycholo- gist Brooke Howard recently found Smith suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, but could not determine if she is mentally un¿t to stand trial. Howard recommended that Smith be sent to the state hos- pital, but only to be observed and monitored. Her report could not conclude whether Smith is unable or unwilling to aid and assist in her defense. District Attorney Josh Mar- Tuis ¿led a motion Monday asking for Howard to re-eval- uate Smith at the state hospital. The re-evaluation pro- cess could take at least two months, so Marquis requested the upcoming aid-and-assist hearing be postponed. He still wants the court to keep hear- ing dates in July and the trial in 2017. Her defense lawyers responded to Marquis with the details of Smith’s suicide attempt. “Frankly, Ms. Smith can- not survive much longer in the county jail without signif- icant psychiatric intervention,” Morgan wrote. Mascot: ‘Honor the people of this region ...’ Continued from Page 1A Her son, Elias Enyart, said Native Americans are not well-represented by imagery in the district. Even the spear run- ning through the W on the War- riors’ updated merchandise is not representative of how Native Americans hunt, he said. Margaret Frimoth, head of Clatsop Community College’s Lives in Transitions program, said Warrenton should look at the mascot issue holistically. “I ask that we take a look at the weaponry and the reli- gious beliefs behind the logo that is being discussed here,” she said. Moria Golub, an adviser with the Upward Bound student sup- port program at the high school for 10 years, said the district should abolish the Warrior mas- cot entirely and think more crit- ically about human rights and social justice. She compared the chants of opposing fans directed toward a Native American mas- cot to those that could have been directed toward Jews and Afri- can Americans. “Honor the people of this region by ending this harmful tradition,” she said. PORTLAND — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management released its long-awaited plan for managing roughly 2.5 million acres of federal forest- land in western Oregon, and counties that rely on timber for revenue quickly threat- ened legal action. The agency has spent years working to update the Northwest Forest Plan, trying to strike a balance between the interests of the timber industry and environmental- ists. The original plan devel- oped in the mid-1990s failed to deliver promised yields of timber, in part because of fed- eral laws to protect species like salmon and the northern spotted owl. The proposal released Tuesday and still months from being formally adopted calls for three-quarters of the land to be locked up in reserves for ¿sh, water and wildlife. The agency esti- mates the plan will provide 278 million board feet of tim- ber per year, an increase of 75 million from what’s currently offered. Despite the boost, 17 counties that get a chunk of revenue from timber sales contend it’s not enough and announced plans to sue. “Their plan’s illegal as far as we’re concerned and the counties have no alternative but to challenge it in court,” said Tony Hyde, a Colum- bia County commissioner and president of the Association of O&C Counties. Bureau of Land Manage- ment project manager Mark Brown said the agency is aware of the economic situ- ation faced by counties and the plan strives to produce the maximum amount of timber in a sustained manner. “BLM believes in order to provide a sustained yield of timber we must take care of our other legal responsibili- ties, such as the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act,” he said. “If we fail to do so, we will ¿nd our- selves embroiled in litigation across the landscape.” The lands known as “O&C” are a patchwork of one-mile squares once deeded by the federal government to the Oregon & California Rail- road. The lands went back to the government after the rail- road failed and are now man- aged by the Bureau of Land Management. During the heyday of the logging industry, some county governments got so much money from O&C pay- ments that they didn’t charge property taxes. Now, many are struggling. Some conservation groups, meanwhile, also found fault with the plan. John Kober, executive director of Paci¿c Rivers, said the fed- eral agency made improve- ments to protect clean water and native ¿sh but still places “too much value” in subsidiz- ing county governments. “Unfortunately, due to rapacious logging of private and state lands, all of the bur- den for conservation is placed on federal lands,” he said.
