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.

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-

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.
