is the central technology

BAKER CITY (AP) —
A Baker City woman who
tried to hire someone to kill
her ex-boyfriend has been
sentenced to seven years in
prison.
The Baker City Herald
reports that 24-year-old
Emily Munsell pleaded
guilty last week to criminal
conspiracy and solicitation
to commit murder.
Munsell was arrested
in December after a police
detective pretended to
be a hit man. Police said
Munsell offered to pay
the detective to kill her
ex-boyfriend, against whom
Munsell had a restraining
order.
A report from the
detective says Munsell
offered $80 as a down
payment, and $1,000 after
she got her income tax
refund.
Police became involved
after Munsell’s cousin
reported that Munsell had
approached him about
making her ex-boyfriend
“disappear.”
Forestry Board weighs
bigger logging buffers
to cool streams
GRANTS PASS (AP) —
A state board is considering
how much to increase the
numbers of trees that must
be left standing along small
and medium streams on
private timberlands to shade
the water and keep it cool for
salmon.
A study known as
RipStream has shown
logging buffers on small and
medium-sized streams under
the Oregon Forest Practices
Act don’t do enough to
maintain shade, allowing
water temperatures to rise
more than twice the stan-
dard of 0.54 degrees set by
the Oregon Environmental
Quality Commission.
The choice for the Oregon
Board of Forestry, which is
scheduled to vote Thursday
in Salem, is that the more
trees left standing, the better
the chance of meeting the
temperature standard, but
WKH ORZHU WKH SUR¿WV IRU
timberland owners. The
board has the latitude to
weigh the economic costs
against the ecological costs.
Current rules set buffers
of 20 feet, with logging
allowed
within
them.
Buffers up to 100 feet are
being considered. If they
were imposed throughout
western Oregon streams
with salmon, steelhead and
bull trout, private timber-
land owners could lose up
to $227 million in land and
timber values, according to
the Department of Forestry.
The action is part of a
larger battle over the Oregon
Forest Practices Act. When

water on private timberlands,
but it has since fallen behind
logging rules in Washington,
Idaho and California.
While federally owned
forests account for 60
percent of forest lands in
Oregon, they contribute only
14 percent of the statewide
harvest of 4.13 billion board
feet because of restrictions

wildlife and water. Privately
owned forests account for 34
percent of the land, but with
larger clear-cuts and smaller
stream buffers allowed, they
account for 64 percent of the
timber harvest.
Federal regulators ruled
in January that Oregon

from pollution caused by
clear-cutting too close to
streams, runoff from old
logging roads, landslides
and sites sprayed with
pesticides.
NOAA Fisheries Service
and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency have
been in a long-running nego-
tiation with Oregon over
meeting the standards of the
federal Coastal Nonpoint
Pollution Program. At stake
are millions of dollars in
federal grants.

PORTLAND (AP) —
Legendary mogul Howard
Hughes’ Spruce Goose, a
gigantic historic wooden
airplane whose fate was

will permanently stay in
Oregon.
The Evergreen Aviation
and Space Museum has
reached an agreement with
the Aero Club of Southern
California to take full
ownership of the plane in
the coming weeks, said
California attorney Robert
E. Lyon, who represents the
Aero Club. Lyon said the
agreement was reached in
early July.

Goose for more than two
decades, but it still owed a
payment to the California
club from which it bought
the plane.
The details of the agree-
ment were not disclosed.
But the dispute centered
on the original purchase
terms, which in addition
to the $500,000 price tag
also included a percentage
of the museum’s earnings
from displaying the Spruce
Goose.
“It’s comforting to know

erly taken care of,” Lyon
said.

MEDFORD (AP) — A
Medford man is facing
charges after he attempted
to rob a convenience store
with an unlikely weapon:
his hands.
KDRV-TV reports that
the 60-year-old man held
his hand in the shape of
a gun and asked the store
clerk for $50 and a pack of
cigarettes.
Medford police say
the store clerk was not
convinced and that the man
left without anything for his
efforts. He was arrested on
suspicious of third-degree
robbery.
