Page 10A OFF PAGE ONE East Oregonian Tuesday, March 1, 2016 WOLF: Three wolves poached during 2015 Continued from 1A rancher and wolf committee chairman for the Oregon Cattle- men’s Association, said although the numEer of con¿rmed attacNs on liYestocN has gone down, those numbers do not account for the rise of missing animals — especially on forest allotments. Local ranchers have repeatedly said they need the ability to Nill problem wolves to sustain their operations. ³, thinN this is the time we need to taNe a very serious looN at limiting wolves in certain areas,” Nash said. O'): recogni]es 12 wolf pacNs and four additional pairs spread out across nine counties in Oregon, including a recently discovered pacN near +eppner. The Oregon Department of Agriculture paid out $174,428 in grants to pay for non-lethal deterrents and compen- sate ranchers for livestocN losses. Morgan said the vast majority of wolves still live in northeast Oregon, but predicted more will branch out into unused territory to the south and southwest. ³, thinN the population increase is leveling out or will level out to some degree in northeast Oregon,” Morgan said. Arran 5obertson, spoNesman for the conservation group Oregon Wild, said they are pleased to see wolf management practices allow for the species to recover in Oregon, while reducing the number of livestocN conÀicts. +owever, he said they were unsettled by another aspect of the 2015 report, showing three wolves had been poached during the year. Previously, only one case of poaching had been reported out of Grant County. Another pair LEAP: Government places birthday on March 1 during non-leap years of wolves, the Sled Springs pair, were found dead under mysterious circumstances in August. Those cases have been handed over to Oregon State Police, Robertson said, but he wondered why the reports weren’t made public earlier. “It is disconcerting,” Robertson said. Oregon Wild is one of the groups that has called for a judicial review of ODFW’s decision to delist wolves. +ouse %ill 4040, worNed up by state Rep. Greg %arreto, R-Cove, and Sen. %ill +ansell, R-Athena, would ratify the delisting at the legislature. That bill passed the +ouse on Feb. 12, but remains tied up in the Senate. ——— Contact George Plaven at gplaven@eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0825. Continued from 1A Wildhorse Resort & Casino on Monday, meaning Trenton’s birthday party with his family will have to wait until Tuesday — the ¿rst day of March. Cody Cimmiyotti, a bartender and a 24-year-old leapling, treats the date of birthday celebrations even more liberally. Growing up, Cimmiyotti said non-leap year birthday parties tended to fall on whatever weeNend was closest to his hypo- thetical birthday. Although his legal birthday is Feb. 29, 1992, Cimmiyotti said the government places his birthday on March 1 during non-leap years. Cimmiyotti said leap years have their perNs. This year, he was able to get a free drinN at StarbucNs and celebrate his birthday with his family on its actual day. While Cimmiyotti marNed his birthday with a family dinner, Trenton Ellis has a slightly more elaborate request. Trenton’s grandmother, Raylene, used to teach cooNing classes at Pendleton +igh School, which left her with the caNe pans and Nnow-how to maNe custom- ized caNes for all her grandchil- dren. Trenton’s request? A police car Transformers caNe. “+e’s the M9P of Team Ellis this month,” Raylene said. ——— Contact Antonio Sierra at asierra@eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0836. SCHOOL: Smith also a ¿nalist for Walla Walla superintendent Continued from 1A Mooney earned her bachelor’s degree at North- western College in Orange City, Iowa and a master’s degree in educational leader- ship from Washington State 8niversity. She’s worNing toward a doctorate in educational leadership from Northcentral University, an online college based in Arizona. Smith is in contention for two high-pro¿le education jobs in the region, having been named a ¿nalist for the Walla Walla Public Schools superintendent position. Following a meeting with the public and an interview with the board in Pendleton on Tuesday, Smith will travel to Walla Walla Wednesday and go through the same process. Smith was hired as the assistant superintendent for support services in 2007, but tooN on e[panded responsibility as the interim superintendent from 2011- 2012 while Superintendent Fred Maiocco was deployed to Kuwait as a colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves. Upon Maiocco’s return, Smith was named deputy superintendent. Smith was also Morrow County School District assistant superintendent 2005-2007, a Morrow County principal 2002-2005 and a science teacher for the Long CreeN School District, north of John Day. Smith has a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in teaching from Willamette University. +e’s currently worNing on a doctoral degree from Concordia University, which he e[pects to complete in 2017. Although he hasn’t made a career in Umatilla County liNe the other two candi- dates, Kovach also brings an e[tensive resume to the table. Kovach was promoted from associate principal to principal in 2012 and served the dual role of elementary school principal and director of migrant education for the Ontario School District from 2003-2009. %efore landing in Ontario, Kovach was the assistant principal at Nyssa Middle School 2001-2003, Nyssa School District director of student services 1998-2001, +arney County School District special education coordinator 1995-1997 and Crane School District special education coordinator 1993- 1997. The school board is currently vetting all the candidates through bacN- ground and reference checNs and e[pects to maNe an announcement on the ne[t step in the process soon. The new superintendent, who will replace outgoing Superintendent Jon Peterson, will start July 1 and will earn between $127,500-$140,000 per year. The school board is slightly ahead of schedule in the selection process, but has previously committed to announcing Peterson’s successor by April 5. ——— Contact Antonio Sierra at asierra@eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0836. clip or CLICK!
