5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 2018 Governors: Ban on land deals could hurt bird Associated Press DENVER — Some gover- nors in the U.S. West say a new Trump administration direc- tive threatens to undermine a hard-won compromise aimed at saving a beleaguered bird scattered across their region. The directive, issued in late July, severely limits a type of land swap involving fed- eral property. Critics say that eliminates an important tech- nique for saving habitat for the shrinking population of greater sage grouse. “It took one of our tools out of the toolbox,” said John Swartout, an adviser to Colo- rado Gov. John Hickenlooper. Hickenlooper told fed- eral officials in an Aug. 2 let- ter that he opposes the change. Nevada, Oregon and Utah also expressed opposition or concern. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Bureau of Land Manage- ment, which issued the direc- tive, said the agency would work with the governors on “adjusted” plans. Greater sage grouse are spiky-tailed, ground-dwelling birds about the size of chick- ens. They are best known for the males’ showy displays in springtime mating dances. They once numbered in the millions, but the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service now estimates the population at 200,000 to 500,000. Experts blame energy development that broke up the bird’s habitat, along with disease, livestock grazing and other causes. Their range covers about 270,000 square miles in parts of 11 Western U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. The largest concentrations are in Wyoming, Montana, Nevada and Idaho. In 2010, the Obama admin- istration said the bird would need protection under the Endangered Species Act, which would have brought restrictions on drilling, min- ing, ranching and other development. But in 2015, the admin- istration reversed course, announcing an intricate agree- ment called the Sage Grouse Initiative that relied on federal agencies, states, ranchers and others to save the bird without invoking potentially stricter limits under the endangered species law. One tool states planned to use was requiring developers — such as energy companies drilling for oil — to replace destroyed or damaged habitat with similar land elsewhere. The practice is called “off-site compensatory mitigation” and is envisioned as a last resort, if the damage cannot be avoided or minimized. But the Bureau of Land Management, which oversees about 388,000 square miles of public land, announced on July 24 that it would no longer use mandatory off-site compensa- tory mitigation on most fed- eral land.

Inmates: State offers new treatment center to the mentally ill Continued from Page 1A with six desks where inmates can be secured, two physi- cians’ offices and one coun- selor office. The space will allow the Department of Corrections to convene nine classes per week Monday through Fri- day for mentally ill inmates in the Behavioral Health Unit, which will increase the time outside of cells, said Capt. Toby Tooley. The center offers windows, nat- ural light and soothing tur- quoise-hued walls to help enhance inmates’ mood. In the past three years, the Department of Correc- tions has expanded the types of therapy offered to inmates from one kind to 19 varieties, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology and art therapy, said Gabe Gitnes, an assistant admin- istrator at the department’s behavioral health services. The department has also made progress in decreasing use of force and other met- rics that contribute to living conditions. “The living units are problematic, but they are not the entire program,” Green- berg said. “The department has been trying to change culture and has increased staff-to-resident ratio, and we share their hope things will be better and things are bet- ter than when we first started working on this.” The Capital Bureau is a collaboration between EO Media Group and Pamplin Media Group.

Parade: Regatta finishes 124th year Continued from Page 1A “I do it to make kids smile,” Landwehr said. “It’s for the kids.” For Will Chapman, another member of the Astoria Clowns, the parade is a family affair. His dad was a longtime Asto- ria Clown and wore the same costume he wears now. His mom walked ahead of him in the parade in the LGBT Pride group. And, as a longtime Astorian, he saw several old friends along the way. “I gave my middle school teacher candy,” Chapman said. “He said thanks for the candy. I said thanks for the math.” Visitors look forward to the annual parade, as well.

She and her friends always get fish and chips after the parade, which they’ve been performing in for the last five years.

Memora- ble floats included the Colum- bia River Bar Pilots’ entry, an antique bar pilot rowboat from 1947, pulled by a truck. Dan Jordan, a bar pilot in Astoria, found the boat on Craigslist two years ago. It had been taken from a burn pile and renovated by a man in Cal- ifornia. Now, in its second year at the parade, the boat carried children of local bar pilots. Jordan estimates it might be one of the only antique bar pilot rowboats left in existence. Another rowboat of the same kind is featured in the Colum- bia River Maritime Museum. “It’s nice to bring a piece of history back to Astoria,” he said. would focus on community outreach,” she said. “I’m a Christian, and I love the mis- sion of giving back. The pas- sion comes out of my faith.” Whyman moved to Gear- hart from St. Louis, Mis- souri, with her son and hus- band two years ago after visiting the area for 25 years. “Where Lewis and Clark started their expedition is where we moved from and where Lewis and Clark fin- ished is where we moved to,” she said. “Which we didn’t mean to do, but is kind of interesting.” She fell in love with the environment, the kindness of the people and how “one supports one another.” Eventually, Whyman hopes the gallery will be able to designate a charity or cause a month to be the recipients of the proceeds. This summer, her first recip- ient will be the Providence Seaside Hospital Founda- tion’s campaign to expand emergency room operations. The foundation is in the swing of a $1.5 million fund- raising campaign that will help redesign the emergency department to separate the triage area from reception, add more private rooms and build another trauma bay for emergency medical calls. She is close to the proj- ect on multiple fronts, as her husband sits on the board of the hospital foundation, and overall has supported the institution’s mission. “With my target to open my gallery in the summer and Providence doing much of their fundraising in the summer, it seemed to make sense,” Whyman said. After the summer, Whyman hopes to set her sights on helping local food banks. “I love how people sup- port and encourage one another for good here,” she said. “That’s what this is all about.” Evening listings MONDAY A UGUST 13 A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 Jeopardy!
