The Mail Tribune. 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.

BEND (AP) — An

HERMISTON
Snow removal costs
street department $50K
East Oregonian
Battling the snow and ice
this winter has cost the city
of Hermiston’s street depart-
ment $50,000 since Dec. 16.
“Clearing snow from
180 miles worth of city
streets takes a lot of time
and resources,” Ron Sivey,
street superintendent, said
in a news release. “We do
everything we can to clear
streets as fast as possible
with the equipment and
personnel available to us.”
Costs include $32,844
for 782 hours of regular and
overtime labor, $6,000 in
snow plow repairs, $7,979
for 410 cubic yards of rock
and $3,400 for 3,400 gallons
of de-icer.
During or after a snowfall
expected to be more than two
inches, crews move through
three phases. The first phase
is to clear main thorough-
“Clearing snow
from 180 miles
worth of city streets
takes a lot of time
and resources.”
— Ron Sivey,
street superintendent
fares through the city that are
most heavily used.
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.

Oregon considers permit fees for non-motorized boats

non-motorized watercraft on
the state’s public waterways.
Most of the cost of upkeep
