The Oregon State Marine Board wants state lawmakers to charge non-motorized boaters a permit fee that would be used for the same purpose. The program proposed by the marine board would also fund expanded services for non-motorized boat facilities and patrols, such as marine patrols on waterways heavily used by non-motorized boats and removing navigational hazards. It would also offer grants to public agencies to buy, build, expand or reno- vate facilities for non-motor- ized boats. Under the proposed legis- lation, a one-week permit for non-motorized boating would cost $4, an annual permit would cost $12 and a two-year permit would cost $20. Marine Board spokes- SALEM (AP) — President Donald Trump has declared a major disaster exists in Oregon from a severe winter storm and flooding in December. The White House says Trump ordered federal aid to supplement state, tribal and local recovery efforts. The White House said Wednesday the federal funding is available on a cost- sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe winter storm and flooding that hit Josephine and Lane counties Dec. 14-17. Oregon Office of Emergency Management Director Andrew Phelps said in a statement Friday the disaster declaration will provide much-needed financial assistance to the two counties. Gov. Kate Brown had requested the Presidential Disaster Declaration. The storm caused more than $16 million in damage, including to hundreds of miles of publicly owned power lines Jurors won’t hear lesser charges in next refuge trial PORTLAND (AP) — Jurors in the second Malheur National Wildlife Refuge trial will only consider felony charges against the defendants. U.S. District Judge Anna Brown ruled Thursday that misdemeanor charges will be heard in a separate trial before a judge. Brown said in her written opinion that the 12 jurors and six alternates will be devoting an extraordinary amount of time to jury service and adding petty offenses to their plate is not warranted. The trial stems from last winter’s armed takeover of the refuge in southeastern Oregon. In a trial last fall, jurors found standoff leader Ammon Bundy and six others not guilty of felony charges. Despite the loss, prosecutors decided to press ahead with a February trial for the seven remaining defendants. They changed their strategy by adding misdemeanor charges such as trespassing to the mix.

It will also expand access to training and conferences.

Phase two moves snow plows onto hill routes and downtown commercial areas, plus moves them back to “phase one” routes to clear them again if more snow has fallen. City personnel are also deployed to municipal buildings, the airport and public parking lots. During phase three crews move into residential areas, where they move counterclockwise through neighborhoods.
