U.S. interior chief recommends
changes on some protected lands
Zinke recommends
changes to Oregon’s
Cascade Siskiyou

In this 2013, file photo, a hiker walks on a rock formation known as The
Wave in the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in Arizona.
said it is prepared to launch a legal fight
against even a slight reduction in its size.
Republican Utah state Rep. Mike
Noel, who has pushed to rescind the
designation of Bears Ears as a monu-
ment, said he could live with a rollback
of its boundaries.
He called that a good compromise
that would enable continued tourism
while still allowing activities that
locals have pursued for generations —
logging, livestock grazing and oil and
gas drilling.
“The eco-tourists basically say,
‘Throw out all the rubes and the locals
and get rid of that mentality of grazing
and utilizing these public lands for
any kind of renewable resource such
as timber harvesting and even some
mineral production,’” Noel said. “That’s
a very selfish attitude.”
Other sites that might see changes
include the Grand Staircase-Escalante
monument in the Utah desert, consisting
of cliffs, canyons, natural arches
and archaeological sites, including
rock paintings; Katahdin Woods and
Waters, 136 square miles of forest of
northern Maine; and Cascade Siskiyou,
a 156-square-mile region where three
mountain ranges converge in Oregon.
The marine monuments encompass
more than 340,000 square miles and
include four sites in the Pacific Ocean
and an array of underwater canyons and
mountains off New England.
Zinke did not directly answer
whether any monuments would be
newly opened to energy development,
mining and other industries Trump has
championed.
But the former Montana congressman
said public access for uses such as
hunting, fishing or grazing would be

Copyright © 2017, EO Media Group
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Interior
Secretary Ryan Zinke announced
Thursday he won’t seek to rescind any
national monuments carved from the
wilderness and oceans by past presi-
dents. But he said he will press for some
boundary changes and left open the
possibility of allowing drilling, mining
or other industries on the sites.
Twenty-seven monuments were
put under review in April by President
Donald Trump, who has charged that
the millions of acres designated for
protection by President Barack Obama
were part of a “massive federal land
grab.”
If Trump adopts Zinke’s recom-
mendations, it could ease some of the
worst fears of the president’s opponents,
who warned that vast public lands and
marine areas could be stripped of federal
protection.
But significant reductions in the size
of the monuments or changes in what
activities are allowed on them could
trigger fierce resistance, too, including
lawsuits.
In an interview with The Associated
Press, Zinke said he is recommending
changes to a “handful” of sites, including
unspecified boundary adjustments, and
suggested some monuments are too
large. He would not reveal his recom-
mendations for specific sites but previ-
ously said Utah’s Bears Ears National
Monument needs to be reduced in size.
The White House said only that it
received Zinke’s recommendations and
is reviewing them.
Conservationists and tribal leaders
responded with alarm and distrust,
demanding the full release of Zinke’s
recommendations and vowing to
challenge attempts to shrink any monu-
ments.
Gene Karpinski, president of the
League of Conservation Voters, called
Zinke’s review a pretext for “selling out
our public lands and waters” to the oil
industry and others.
Jacqueline Savitz, senior vice presi-
dent of Oceana, which has been pushing
for preservation of five marine monu-
ments included in the review, said that
simply saying “changes” are coming
doesn’t reveal any real information.
“A change can be a small tweak or
near annihilation,” Savitz said. “The
public has a right to know.”
A tribal coalition that pushed for the
creation of the 2,100-square-mile Bears
Ears monument on sacred tribal land
-0s
maintained or restored. He also spoke of
protecting tribal interests.
“There’s an expectation we need to
look out 100 years from now to keep
the public land experience alive in this
country,” Zinke said. “You can protect
the monument by keeping public access
to traditional uses.”
The recommendations cap an
unprecedented four-month review based
on a belief that the 1906 Antiquities
Act had been misused by presidents to
create oversized monuments that hinder
energy development, grazing and other
uses. The review looked at whether the
protected areas should be eliminated,
downsized or otherwise altered.
The review raised alarm among
conservationists who said protections
could be lost for ancient cliff dwellings,
towering sequoia trees, deep canyons
and ocean habitats.
Zinke previously announced that
no changes would be made at six of
the 27 monuments under review — in
Montana, Colorado, Idaho, California,
Arizona and Washington.
In the interview, Zinke struck back
against conservationists who had
warned of impending mass sell-offs of
public lands by the administration.
“I’ve heard this narrative that
somehow the land is going to be sold or
transferred,” he said. “That narrative is
patently false and shameful. The land
was public before and it will be public
after.”
National monument designations are
used to protect land revered for its natural
beauty and historical significance. The
restrictions aren’t as stringent as at
national parks but can include limits on
mining, timber-cutting and recreational
activities.
BRIEFLY
3 security workers
arrested in illegal
raid at Symbiosis
PRINEVILLE (AP) —
Authorities have arrested
three security workers
accused of illegally raiding
an RV at the Symbiosis
music festival in central
Oregon.
Crook County Sheriff’s
Sgt. Travis Jurgens tells
Bend station KTVZ that the
security workers detained
a couple suspected of
manufacturing drugs in the
RV during the festival that
drew tens of thousands of
people.
He says the man and
woman had not been
manufacturing drugs and
the security workers had
no reason to restrain them.
The man suffered an injury
during the incident and was
taken to a medical tent.
The three security
workers have been charged
with criminal trespass,
and two face an additional
charge of fourth-degree
assault. Prosecutors are
considering whether to
also charge them with
kidnapping.
Jurgens says the accused
work for a company that
was hired to provide
security during the week-
long festival that coincided
with the eclipse.
Seafood giant
returns after fire
to Warrenton
WARRENTON
(AP) — Mike Brown,
like many in the seafood
processing industry, is used
to old buildings — massive
complexes from another
generation that have seen
countless fish and hundreds
of filleters come and go
over the decades.
But as general manager
of Pacific Seafood Group’s
rebuilt Warrenton facility,
Brown is about to be in
charge of a brand-new
building.

The East Oregonian
works hard to be accu-
rate and sincerely regrets
any errors. If you notice
a mistake in the paper,
please call 541-966-0818.
The West Coast seafood
processing giant is in the
middle of rebuilding after a
fire destroyed the original
plant in 2013. Construction
began last year, a new dock
is in place and the facility
is expected to open for the
Dungeness crab season
in December. The entire
building will likely be
completed in early 2018.
“It’s going to be a
world-class facility,”
Warrenton Mayor Henry
Balensifer said. “It’s a
win-win for everybody
and I’m just excited to be
a part of it.”
The mayor met with
company representatives
Wednesday to sign
documents confirming the
partnership between the
city and Business Oregon
with Pacific Seafood.
The Warrenton City
Commission Tuesday night
approved two related items:
a $3 million lottery bonds
grant agreement and a
disbursement of the lottery
revenue bonds.
Oregon’s hazelnut
industry down 18
percent, experts
predict
EUGENE (AP) —
Oregon will produce 18
percent fewer hazelnuts
this year than it did last
year, federal agricultural
officials predicted based on
an analysis of field and lab
testing.
The experts say the state
will produce 36,000 ton
of hazelnuts this year, The

Thursday.
