Fate of Oregon’s oldest
state forest is examined
By ANDREW SELSKY
Associated Press
Amanda Loman/The World via AP, File
In this Oct. 27 photo, Joe Metzler walks across a fall-
en log over a creek in the Silver Grove surrounded by
some trees in the grove that are over 220 years old in
Elliott State Forest near Reedsport.
Proponents of the sale
plan, including some school
board members from around
the state, said on Tuesday
they supported it because the
forest has been operating at a
loss in timber sales, causing
the Common School Fund to
take financial hits.
State officials have been
unable to harvest much
timber from the forest in
recent years because of envi-

KEIZER — Oregon’s top
elected state leaders heard at
times heated testimony on
Tuesday about the proposed
sale of the Elliott State Forest,
whose lumber proceeds help
fund the state’s schools, to a
timber company.
The hearing was held in a
packed room Tuesday at the
Keizer Community Center.
Intense interest in the plan
to sell Oregon’s oldest state
forest was reflected by more
than 200 spectators inside the
meeting room.
Many
opposed
the
proposal to sell the 82,500-
acre forest in the Coastal
Range to Lone Rock Timber
Co. and its partners, including
several Indian tribes.
Signs opposing the deal
were stacked in a hallway
outside the meeting room.
Opponents worry that sale
of the state forest to a timber
company could lead to less-
ened public access and larger
timber harvests that would
threaten rare species.

CORVALLIS (AP) — A
small Oregon city has joined
the dozens of municipalities
that have passed sanctuary
measures in the wake of the
presidential election.
The Corvallis Gazette-
Times reports that the
Corvallis City Council on
Monday passed a sanctuary
city resolution 8 to 1. The
symbolic action is meant to
show that the city’s residents
will be treated equally regard-
less of citizenship status.
Republican President-elect
Donald Trump has vowed
to deport immigrants living
in the country illegally and
said he will withhold federal
funding from sanctuary cities.
One councilor voted
against Corvallis’ measure,
citing concerns about the use
of amendments to edit the
resolution before the coun-
cil’s vote.
The council meeting
attracted a standing-room-
only crowd of about 100
people, 18 of whom spoke
in favor of the sanctuary
measure.

Oregon lawmakers reject request for
funding for second women’s prison
Incarceration rate
of women tripled
between 1994-2015
PORTLAND (AP) — A
plan to open a second
women’s prison in Oregon
is facing a major setback as
lawmakers have rejected a
request for funding for the
project.
A legislative subcom-
mittee recommended that
the Emergency Board turn
down a request by Oregon
Corrections Director Colette
Peters for $3.8 million to
prepare a former prison in
Salem for inmates next year,
The Oregonian/OregonLive
reported.
The Emergency Board
meets when the Legislature
is not in session to consider
agency requests for money.
The board is scheduled to
consider the prison funding
on Wednesday but it would
be atypical for the full board
to reject a subcommittee
recommendation.
The
Coffee
Creek
Correctional Institution in
Wilsonville has exceeded
its inmate capacity since
May 18. Gov. Kate Brown’s
proposed budget for the next
biennium includes $17.5
million to operate the Salem
prison on the grounds of the
Oregon State Penitentiary.
Lawmakers said they’re
wary of spending money on
a second prison, especially
as the state faces a $1.7
billion shortfall in the state
budget. Some lawmakers
said they should instead
take steps to contain the
growth of the female prison
populations.
Oregon’s incarceration
rate of women tripled
between 1994 and 2015.
Sen.
Rod
Monroe,
D-Portland, said now is the
time to curb prison popula-
tion growth, not fund new
prisons.
“I am not prepared to
support this today,” he
said. “It just strikes me that
this country incarcerates
more people than any other
country in the world.”
Brown’s
spokesman
Bryan Hockaday said the
governor said the recom-
mendation to reject the
funding request reflects a
growing consensus that
inmate population trends
must be addressed. He said
Brown remains hopeful that
the state can avoid opening a
second prison.
Elizabeth Craig, a spokes-
woman for the Department
of Corrections, said the
department will discuss the
possibility of sending some
female inmates to out-of-
state prisons.
