The Oregonian reports the City Council and Crook County commissioners signed off on a 15-year deal Wednesday for Facebook to build its third and largest data center in the central Oregon community. County property records show Facebook has already spent nearly $780 million in Prineville. The new deal requires Facebook to pay local governments $190,000 annually plus the $110,000 it already pays each year for its existing data centers. In exchange, the company would receive property tax exemptions. Although Facebook has indicated its plans to build a third facility in Prineville, the SALEM (AP) — The Oregon Department of Corrections says police have captured an inmate who walked away from a prison work crew in Salem. William Beebe was arrested in Salem Thursday afternoon, two days after he was reported missing from a 10-man crew doing work near an elementary school. The 38-year-old inmate entered the Santiam Correctional Institution in Salem this summer after he was convicted in Marion County of unauthorized use of a vehicle. His earliest release date is April 6, 2017.

Vilsack told The Asso- ciated Press that he wants to almost double protected habitat for the chicken-sized bird, to 8 million acres by 2018. He also promised more spending on conservation easements for private land- owners, to limit residential development in sage grouse habitat and to restore wetlands used by the birds. A formal announcement was planned for Thursday during an event in Portland, It’s part of an ongoing Corn campaign by the Obama administration to demon- strate its commitment to staving off further declines in grouse populations. The bird’s fate has become a potential political liability heading into the 2016 election. Federal protections could prompt limits on energy drilling, grazing and other activities across the grouse’s 11-state range. Republicans have seized on the issue as supposed evidence of wildlife protec- tion laws run amuck. They say it underscores the urgent need to scale back the federal Endangered Species Act. Sage grouse were proposed for protections under the act in 2010, but they were not put in place because of other priorities. Vilsack said the admin- istration was seeking to balance concerns over the bird’s future with economic reality. “Diversity of wildlife is important. Diversity of economy is important as well,” he said in an interview. “We want our working lands to be productive, and we also want to make sure we maintain what’s unique to the value of that terrain.” Under a court settlement with environmentalists, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service faces a September 30 deadline to decide if protec- tions are needed. The future spending Vilsack described is in addition to more than $400 million spent on sage grouse conservation since 2010. Future spending pledges — and additional money from states, conservation groups and others — would bump the overall tally to more than $750 million for sage grouse through 2018, according to IHGHUDORI¿FLDOV Hammer Toe Bunion Diagnosis & Treatment: • Ingrown/Fungal Toenails • Bunions/Bone Spurs • Ankle & Foot Injuries/Fractures • Ulcers/Skin Disorders • Warts • Corns/Calluses • Hammertoes • Ankle Pain & Instability • Routine Toenail Care • Orthotics/Arch Supports Special Services: • Board Certified Care • X-rays - In Office • Sports Medicine • Hospital & Office Based Surgery S TACEY J.
