PORTLAND — The Oregon snowpack is well below average despite normal precipitation this winter. High snow levels have prevented the accumulation of mountain snow that is needed to PDLQWDLQVWUHDPÀRZVWKURXJKWKHVXPPHU The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service reports the snowpack is less than half of average in western and central portions of Oregon. Eastern parts of the state are a little better but still below average. The Oregonian reports some monitoring stations near Mount Hood have recorded no snow IRUWKH¿UVWWLPHLQWKUHHGHFDGHV In a typical year, the snowpack peaks around April, so there’s time for recovery. But a three- month climate outlook predicts conditions will be warmer and drier than normal in the Northwest. Oregon State Police troopers investigate mule deer poaching 6$/(0$3²2UHJRQ6WDWH3ROLFH¿VKDQG wildlife troopers say their investigation of mule deer poaching has led them to people in central and southern Oregon. Lt. Josh Brooks said Tuesday that troopers executed a search warrant last month at the La Pine, Oregon, home of 37-year-old Gene A. Parsons after receiving information that he had been involved in the illegal killing of a large number of mature trophy class mule deer bucks last fall. Troopers seized numerous large mule GHHUDQWOHUVGHHUPHDW¿UHDUPVDQGFRQWUROOHG substances. Parsons was arrested for investigation of unlawful taking of mule deer. Information developed from the search led troopers to a 44-year-old Grants Pass man accused of unlawful taking of mule deer and waste of a game mammal. State police say the investigation continues.

This would reduce East Oregonian business costs and compliance burdens for hundreds of Ore- gon brewers, winer- ies and distilleries.

Oregon has 221 small brew- eries that employ more than 6,600 people and contribute more than $2.8 billion to the state economy. Oregon also is home to some 605 wineries and 25 distillers.
